[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 706228, member: 1550"] I would not call the police on a six year old. Any child police call gets called into CPS or so we were told when we did foster care. Then you may or may not get services but they are not going to arrest or punish a six year old. My friends had adopted two kids and one was violent. By six they had to call the police on him, but he wasn't punished. Sometimes he was taken briefly for mental health hospitals and the family was on the CPS radar. At around 12 he ended up in residential treatment, not jail. He was sick, not bad. Unless your son actually does serious damage the police won't take him anywhere. Punching his older sister won't do it. Neither will verbal threats. The kid I talked about was breaking all the windows in his house with a baseball bat etc. That sort of thing. I knew of an eight year old foster child who burned the house down. That will get attention but still not kid jail. Not that age. At his age I'd stick to a high level diagnostician and all the help he can get. He is extremely young. Jmo [/QUOTE]
