My input is minimal but I have been keeping your family in my thoughts.  I keep thinking about your diligence in monitoring him...evidently by not sleeping.  Frankly that picture keeps running thru my mind.  I have tried to stay awake to monitor my difficult child so he could neither let drug friends inside our homr nor go out to join them.  Although my intentions were based on the concept that I would/could protect my teen no matter what the cost to my health...I found that I was not able to sustain alertness as needed. I had tried that same system when I was in my 20's and had a difficult child child who loved to go outside during the night..even in my 20's I could not do it.


Have you explored window and door monitors?  Although I never used them that is how foster homes are set up to protect healthier children from those with a history or tendency toward sexual deviance.  As a volunteer I monitored foster homes for awhile and the alarms evidently were quite effective...loud and effective.
