[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 613220, member: 1550"] Great idea by IC and also tell the police that you have a child who is having neurological/mental health issues and that you are doing all you can for him so that if other parents call they have a heads up. When the police were called on my acquaintance from the adoption group, they knew the parents were good parents and not abusive (a conclusion they can jump to if they don't know how hard you are trying to help him). You can even go in and make an appointment. to talk to them and show some of the info you have. I can't emphasize how helpful CPS and the police were to the couple with the overly disturbed little boy. They were instrumental in getting him humane residential treatment when it was clear he could not live at home anymore (he still visits). They did not threaten the parents because they were well aware of the situation. I think pre-emptive explanations from you to the important people who may get involved if neighbors, who are clueless, call CPS or the cops on your family. You can built up a trust and work together. Even when this child would swear at the police, they were used to him and understanding. It has been several years now and this family is doing well with their other three kids, who were victimized by this boy's explosions. They are always happy to see him when he comes home for a weekend visit. When this child lies and tries to say his parents abuse him, he is no longer believed and it is seen as part of his illness. There has never been any marks on him and none of his siblings saw any abuse, not even spankings. In the end, these feared people can end up being your friend. Respite would be great for you and I believe CPS or Social Services can help you with that. You deserve a rest after walking on eggshells almost 24/7. Please, please keep coming here. I like you and I don't think I'm the only one. We see your struggles and how hard you are trying to help your child. And post as often as you like. We're here for that purpose. [/QUOTE]
