[QUOTE="buddy, post: 487777, member: 12886"] Oh how heart breaking. I am sure he feels awful to be the one who did that. Are you are planning to rehome the other animals? I hope you can find good homes for them. Not only for the animals, but every time he does something to hurt an animal it could reinforce bad things about himself....and he has enough to worry about. Just because he hasn't done it so far to the others, I imagine it does not mean that now that he knows how, it wont happen. Did your other son see that? How do you help him process it if he did? So sorry the residence is so far away but what a blessing you found a place with an opening. Is this medication reaction really different from how he was? I pray he will recover and that the medications were the cause of this break. No child should have to feel that. I hope they can help him understand he was ill and is not a bad person. Children always blame themselves for things.... I am sending you all the postive love and energy I can to go thru the holidays in a peaceful way. I hope that medication gets out of him quickly. How long has it been now? is he doing better off of it? so, just wondering, if he feels violent and like he wants to kill again, how do you monitor that? Does he have a check-in or how does that work? I am just wondering how kids learn to manage those feelings and when they hear the voices. My son had visual disturbances from seizures and it really bothered him, he said he wanted to die to make it stop so I have a little tiny bit of understanding how scary that can be for a child. This must be hundreds of times worse, my son always said he know everything was real, just that things looked fake. Kids just should not have to have such big, REAL life problems.
