Oh, also an update - husband/SO called our local PD and updated them on difficult child's latest (they know him quite well - both the good and the bad - jeckyl and hyde?!) And they asked us to type up a statement, photograph the texted confession, and that they felt (and agreed with us) that they will most likely petition him. While we are not thrilled to be entering the Court arena with him - this is the only logical next step for us to access more services that he currently can't get. On our end, we gave him 2 weeks complete groundation (no friends, no priveleges - ie electronics, bike, skateboard) and then after 2 weeks he can hang with friends (he only has one) but he has the rest of the month off from the electronics, skateboards, etc. - his prized possessions). He also knows that the police want to petition him - he must think we are bluffing because he seems COMPLETELY unfazed by any of it.
