[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 330257, member: 1233"] Call and report him EVERY SINGLE TIME he does anything illegal, abuses anyone, or comes in high or drunk. Continue to call until someone from the police station does their job. If after a few calls no officer comes out, no arrests are made, etc... then call the chief of police and the mayor or head of the town council. That is the chief's boss. Start with the chief, but if that does not get action within a few calls then by all means go above his head. Or call the state bureau of investigation and report a police district refusing to do their jobs. That is who investigates when the police refuse to do their job. If you have to, go to the police station with a good book, nice blanket/pillow, etc... and stay there until the Chief can meet with you to explain why his officers are refusing to do their jobs. Call the courthouse and ask the clerk which office you go to for help with a delinquent juvenile. Go to that judge's office with your book/project/pillow and stay until the judge can meet with you. Some judges will try to wait you out. Just do not leave. Eat a snack you bring, chat nicely with the secretary and anyone who comes in, be polite but adamant. One of these will end up getting some assistance for you. Your husband just may be doing all he can handle. You may need to sit down with him and discuss the situation. Figure out what bottom line is, what it is that will make you turn your son out of your home. in my opinion the time has come. He NEEDS to have to face hard times. It will be the only way he learns, and it will be hard. As substance abuse is an issue get the phone book and look up AlAnon and/or NarcAnon. GEt to some meetings. ASAP. Take husband and take the kids to Alateen. The entire family NEEDS this. It is excellent support and it is FREE. You will get real life support and hugs. People will tell you that it is NOT YOUR FAULT. You need to hear this a LOT. Welcome to our forum, and sorry you had to find us. [/QUOTE]
