[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 347361, member: 2423"] I wouldn't question whether calling the police was the right thing to do. Clearly, no one in your house was safe and you needed to protect your daughters and yourself from your son's aggression. What I would question is: Whether your son's diagnosis is correct. ADHD doesn't ordinarily cause this much anger and aggression. Whether the medications are making him worse instead of better. Stimulants like Concerta can rev kids with mood disorders up instead of calming them down. Whether your son needs treatment in a psychiatric hospital rather than placement in foster care. Is there any way you can retain an attorney to convince a judge of the need for therapeutic care instead of alternative placement? Welcome back. I'm glad you found us again, but sorry you needed to.
