[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 636662, member: 1550"] Back to the original issue. I would definitely get him evaluated. Seems like your boyfriend agrees that son is too dangerous to live at home. This needs to be addressed before one of the children or pets get hurt. There are options...foster care, residential treatment. I would, in the meantime, put an alarm on his door so that he can't get out of his room at night and maybe harm the other kids. We had to do this when we adopted one child (he is no longer with us due to the danger). I would also tell your other children to lock their doors at night and if you have a pet have the pet stay in one of the children's rooms at night.Also lock up all your knives and sharp objects and if you own firearms, make sure they are SECURELY locked up. This is not a kid who should learn to shoot, even for hunting. It's a very hard situation when a child is dangerous. I sadly know first hand. He did hurt the younger children and the pets and we thought he was really a nice kid as he put on a "good" face to all adults. Even his psychiatrist was fooled, kind of a scary thing. Does he ever act sexual around your daughters or anyone? This child we adopted was a sexual predator, but we didn't know it. The little guys didn't tell us as they were terrified of him. He threatened to burn our house down with all of us in it if they told and they were so young...they believed him and kept quiet. Yes, I feel stupid. And guilty. Thalnkfully the county sent us tons of help and it saved our family. Never let him play alone, out of your sight, with your two younger girls. Never. You don't know what he is capable of. Be very careful. Since he never even talked about girls, we thought he was sort of asexual. That's why he is now gone. He abused the younger two kids and THAT is something kids who are impulsive with no conscience can do. It's not worth it. If he does something to another of your children call CPS and ask for their help. It is just logical that a dangerous child not be living in a family setting with other minors. And, sadly, there are children who are actually as dangerous as adults. Some, like the boy we adopted, get more dangerous as they get bigger and stronger, even with help. But he definitely needs help. His behavior is not normal and over-the-top dangerous to the rest of you. Hugs!!! [/QUOTE]
