[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 199447, member: 3626"] Let's see, you couldn't calm him down. Your friend couldn't calm him down. The POLICE couldn't calm him down. The SW and her circle couldn't calm him down. And he feels he's been worse???? Worse in creating more havoc and damage, maybe. But not worse in the refusal to behave like a civilized human. Most calm down for authorities. If they don't, the authorities usually lock them up at least until they do calm down. So, I'd say he's lucky he only got a teen shelter. From the sound of it, you really didn't have much choice. While it was "just" an air punch, it was a very violent act and the chuckle after you flinched is downright ugly. My daughter spent a weekend at a teen shelter. Unfortunately, she loved it there -- no chores, a dog to play with, PlayStation and MTV. When it was time to come home, she claimed she was afraid of me and that I was beating her. What a fun merry-go-round that was! Most teen shelters are far different from adult shelters. The kids frequently have private rooms. They have activities for them. They're supervised. So, I wouldn't be overly concerned about his getting hurt there. The odds are higher he would get hurt at home and on the loose then there. Here's hoping his stay there is not pleasant and that he gets an epiphany. You did what you had to do. You didn't do it because of this one time but because of the many times before, the escalation, the threat of what is to come. HUGS [/QUOTE]
