Long story short - I took his door off as promised. He blew up and roughed me up in front of wife who I had called and insisted come home so I wasn't alone with him. We called cops but he had taken off by the time they got here.
He came back several hours later. Will I take him to Gamestop to buy a game? I said - Why would I do that? He says It will be a game we can all play together. No, I said.
Next was wanting a curtain for his doorway. No, if you need to change your clothes you can go in the bathroom to change.
I'm going to watch Netflix. No, you have not earned that privilege.
I hate you. You (meaning wife and I) are mean to me. I want you to take me to psychiatric hospital where they are nice to me.
Uh, no. psychiatric hospital is not for a vacation from your family. You are welcome to call the intake line and discuss it with them.
difficult child 2 goes in kitchen makes a show of getting a knife from the drawer, takes the house phone apart and locks himself in the bathroom.
wife arrives home from work and we tell him he has to come out of bathroom. He is silent. We ask if he is going to hurt himself with the knife. He says I have lots of sharp things in the bathroom I can hurt myself with. wife says he has to open the door. difficult child 2 says he wants to go to psychiatric hospital and wife says No. difficult child 2 says you guys are joined at the hip and you both say the same thing and I won't come out.
I call cops. They come immediately. They inform him they are breaking down door if he doesn't come out and by the way they have their Taser with them.
5 minutes later he is handcuffed and in squad car having mouthed off to the cops. Cops and us discuss whether he goes to psychiatric hospital or Juvie.
Since he had mouthed off to cops, told them we were mean to him and he wanted to go to psychiatric hospital where they were nice to him and he had gotten really aggressive with me earlier (grabbed me and shoved me against kitchen counter, threw a full plastic water bottle and hit me in the head) they took him to Juvie charged with assault.
His hearing is Monday afternoon and they are not releasing him in the meantime.
Probation officer told me at the hearing it will mostly be about what services like wrap around our family/the kid needs. I plan to tell them we need help getting him to school among other things.
