[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 468578, member: 1514"] I think its parenting a difficult child and someone, probably, the other kid or a nosy neighbor, called the cops on the parents. Someone who had no business getting involved in the situation. The boy was obviously out of control, threatening his father and probably a threat to the other family members as well. I have no idea how big this boy was in relation to the father. It could very well be that he was as big as the father. The fact that he used another person's AP is not right but I can see how that could happen if the parents knew it worked and perhaps he had been on it before and or another one of the kids had been on it or something like that and they got something like a seroquel or risperdal and gave it to him so he would calm down. I can tell you that there were many times during Cory's teen years that I dreamed of being able to put a 6' dog kennel in his bedroom and lock him in at night. He had a bedroom by himself that was about 6' by 10' and I wished with all my being that I could line that room with a kennel and lock him in because I would ground him and he would just go out the window at night or wait for me to go to sleep and leave out the front door. I couldnt see what the difference was between me locking him up and a jail locking him up but I knew I couldnt do that. I also thought a shock collar would be nice too. Sometimes when you have really out of control teens, especially teen boys, you reach the end of your rope. Services even if you manage to find them, arent all that great. I wont even tell you some of the things we went through and have done to get Cory to adulthood but he is alive and functioning. I do have to laugh a bit though about tied up. I might send this to Jamie and see if he wants to prosecute me now. His first memory is of me tying him and Cory to ladder back chairs with socks. LOL. They were 4 and 2 respectively. [/QUOTE]
