[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 723768, member: 18958"] i agree you are taking good steps. an evaluation, preferably a neuropsychiatic evaluation. will give lots of info. and a way to proceed. there is a silver lining here: you have a lot of control until he is 18. he can receive intensive treatment. have you spoken with him about what you have found? i might involve a professional for guidance on how to proceed. i agree that speaking with a family attorney makes sense. while nothing you have written reveals he has acted out, there is the potential he could. an attorney (and good child therapist) could help you make a plan. child protective services has people specially trained to speak with children. your son is a child. we would presume he would be protected. he needs protection. but i think i might seek out an excellent child therapist and attorney. there might be reasons to be proactive. but i would take no step with respect to cps without legal guidance. somebody here wrote that viewing child pornography is criminal in nature. that he is a child may be mitigating. but i cannot say as a fact because i am untrained and unfamilar with those laws. but this may be a reason that an attorney might advise transparency. a therapist might feel mandated to report to cps. this can be a subjective call to some extent. people here are sometimes ready to diagnose. but we are parents. we do not have the expertise to diagnose. and it can be unecessarily frightening. take what is written here with a grain of salt...if it is diagnostic in nature. at this point nobody can know. least of all strangers over the internet. it could be mental illness. it could be that he has been over-stimulated and exposed to stuff or behavior he could not handle. or other things. that is why you are taking him to professionals. we are here to support you and to share how we are navigating our own stories. getting stronger, kinder to ourselves and more accepting of what our lives are and our necessary limits. better able to stay present to our own needs and those of our family. i am sorry this hard thing is hapenning. to you. your son. your family.
