[QUOTE="Zardo, post: 496950, member: 12490"] When our difficult child was at his worst, we called the police a few times and would not hesitate to do it again. They were supportive and were able to reach difficult child at a time when we could not. Although it did not solve any problems, it always diffussed the immediate situation and after we did it 3 times, difficult child could see that his efforts to run or put holes in the wall were futile. I will always be thankful to my local police for their non-judgemental way of handling him and helping us through the worst of the storm. In our state, we also have an "infoline" service. You call 211 and they dispatch emergency trained counselors who are at your house within 30 minutes. This is outside the legal system and part of socisl services. These counselors can refer to other programs as well. Again, an excellent intervention. The one time we used that, the counselor stayed with difficult child for an hour, playing X-Box and talking...then he met with us as a family for 45 minutes. When their behavior is this out of control, outside intervention is necessary. I think it's actually more dangerous to try to handle it yourself. [/QUOTE]
