Hi, I am a new poster though i follow this forum in my google reader . . . anyway first time writing and doing so because I need some support and hava a few questions. My difficult child is in a new out of district school which has been working well for him however yesterday he told his psychologist that I was choking him and punching him in the face over the weekend. . . He is 9 and I am a big woman he said this happened on Sun and this was Wed. . . I asked the pysch if she saw bruises she said no but that she needed to call it into the child abuse hotline, i myself am a mandated reporter so while i understood, i also know that my son threatens me with cys all the time so he can go live with mommom who has no rules and is just the good time grandmom. . . i didnt hit him etc but i did smack his leg, which in PA open hand smacking is legal as long as it doesnt leave injury . . . so CYS calls last night and says difficult child needs to stay with my mom to be 'safe' until they can see him today . . . I am concerned because this is the second time in less than 6 months and I am fearful that people who dont understand his mental 'stuff' wont understand whats going on . . . anyone have any experience with children and youth i would appreciate some advice . . .thanks
