[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 256312, member: 84"] Welcome to the board cakewalk. Sounds like you and husband have been thru the ringer more than once with your difficult child. I think with the fact that difficult child is not yet 17, which gives you some time before that magice 18 rolls around, I'd have trouble just handing difficult child over to family that are the source of the problem. Does your son have a diagnosis? Is there any history of mental illness in the family? The only thing I can think of that I would try if in a similar situation would be to have your son brought home, if he becomes violent, have him admitted to the nearest psychiatric facility on the basis of danger to self and others. Hopefully there you'll be able to get a diagnosis and a treatment plan. If violence continues to be an issue you could look into having him placed in a residential treatment center (Residential Treatment Center (RTC)) where he can work on his issues in a safe environment without outside influences, while the family can also be safe. But I'm not experienced in this sort of thing. I moved far away from my family because they are so toxic so I'd not have to deal with it. Others on the board do have experience with the sort of things you're going thru and I'm sure they'll be along shortly. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
