[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 227768, member: 3626"] Let's see, I've seen posts here where a child murdered another child; where a girl was prostituting herself for drugs; where several children of both sexes have beaten their parents, threatened them and their siblings with weapons; destroyed houses; and so on and so forth. Sadly, nothing you have post is new to us. I honestly wish it was. It would be nice if many of us haven't faced exactly what you're going through. But we have and we do understand. We'll be here for you as much as we can. Take our strength when you need it, our comfort when that is what is needed, sometimes even our advice. Okay, now that the maudlin stuff is done, did you google Child in Need of Services or Person in Need of Services (that's CHINS/PINS)? Hopefully, you'll find some answers. I would have been calling the police when he first started breaking into the house. The odds are they won't arrest him -- it is his home -- but they might just come and talk to him, especially if you call every time he gets violent. When they tell you to call social services, I'd simply reply that things are too dangerous and volatile to wait for social services to do anything. You need help now. Don't let them try to foist things on another agency. Tell them you are in fear of being harmed, that he is threatening you. At this point, lie if you have to. Don't give up hope, though. Our kids do grow up. Some of us are lucky and discover there really is a decent human being under all of the garbage. While my daughter never went the drug route, she did hit me. She did lie. She did steal. She did break things when she couldn't have her way or just because it was something to do. I've actually to like the person she is today. I always loved her but rarely liked her or her actions. So, there is hope. by the way, craigslist is a great place to sell a dirt bike. [/QUOTE]
