[QUOTE="mazdamama, post: 440314, member: 12227"] I had to have my 10 yr old (adopted) son baker acted twice this year (Marchment Act) once for holding a butcher knife to his chest and threatening to push it in because he wanted to die. The other time was because this 130 lb kid knocked me (58 yr old with health problems) down to the floor 3 times and trying to choke me. He knows now that no matter how angry he gets that if he lays a hand on me, his brother, or anyone else for that matter he WILL go back to the Crisis Stabilazation Unit, a place he hated. In there they could not wear their own clothes or shoes or have any personal possessions and were watched 24 hrs a day. NOT FUN. As for the knives (before she gets any ideas) mine are in a toolbox that has a lock on it. Makes it a bit aggravating when you have to get a knife out but it is safer. Both my boys were my grandsons before I adopted them so I am lucky enough to know the family history and found that ex daughter in law (now dead by her own hand) and her family had mental health issues. Good Luck and God Bless. [/QUOTE]
