[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 734114, member: 13303"] Oh my dear BB, I am so very sorry for what you are experiencing right now. My oldest stepson is violent and has strangled my wife, has also strangled my YS and has gotten into physical altercations with his dad. I understand all too well the irony and the horror of fearing one's offspring. Only you know your situation....with that said, I would probably have hospitalized him rather than sending him to his grandmother's. Given that the cost of hospitalizing is so high, I would have let the police take him and book him in lieu of the hospital. While it's possible he will not act out violently against her, my thinking is that he needs treatment and/or consequences for his behavior. He probably won't get that outside of a hospitalization or adjudication.....any child who commits violence against parents in my opinion, is not safe to be in a family situation until that child has been treated appropriately and the incident processed therapeutically. Such a child should be in a hospital or depending on the severity of what occurred, possibly in jail.. Please make sure you are taking care of yourself and of husband, and any other children in the home. You need peace and healing. We are here for you!!! Many hugs. [/QUOTE]
