[QUOTE="LynnG61, post: 99662, member: 3558"] I know what you are going through, I faced it two months ago myself. I too had to have my 14 year old arrested for assault against me. This after he came out of a 28 day DOS program for that already. (i am the only one he assaults) And like you, Police came, took him in, attempted to "302" him but they were told that if he were calm, etc he would be released. There are not emergency crisis shelters here where I am (much to my amazement!) CYS wouldn't get involved because it was a child against a parent (but let a parent raise a hand to a child and it is all over for the parent). When the police called and said they could not keep him in custody and has to be released to me, there was only one recourse I could take. I refused to pick my son up, at which time the police said if you refuse to take your son, you could be charged with abandonment. At that point, for my safety and his own, I said to the PO "so be it". They called, CYS crisis responded to the police station, and called to ask if I would meet them down there (at this point I was ready to be charged and faced that as a possiblity). I had to go through hoops with proving to CYS he was from a good, solid, loving home (which they found to be correct) while he was placed in an emergency shelter (via CYS) until we could get him placed in to an residential treatment facility, which is where he has been since Oct 26. Fortunately for me, the PO did not press charges of abandonment as they knew my sons history (not the first time I had to call police on son for assault) and knew that this was the step I had to take. I am not sure if this helps you any, just letting you know I was recently in these shoes. And wanted to "quit" as well. Now that almost two months have passed, I can breathe easier and focus once again on getting help for my son. It's not easy, especially when we are the physical target of their rages and you feel at a total loss as what to do. Prayers, hugs and a shoulder if you need it! [/QUOTE]
