[QUOTE="Ironbutterfly, post: 676801, member: 19951"] I went through this with my son when he was 8. He would become very violent with me and other two children. I did get a behavior counselor, counseling. She would come to the home and watch and teach when he had an episode. Usually every time it was become he was told no about something. I had to sit on him for an hour or so when he would act out until he calmed down( 0ne of the recommendations). All recommended behavior modifications and techniques failed. I had to sacrifice this child for the safety of the other two. Lot of things happened to cause us to derive at the decision (upon recommendation from doctors and counselors) that he needed a group home where he could be monitored 24/7. We placed him in boys home for emotionally, physically impaired boys at 12 and he lived there until age 18. We would bring him home once a week and weekends and Holidays. He did very well and was higher functioning then others there and had a lot of freedom others did not. He could have lived then in a home where adults would occasionally monitor but he left and wanted to be free. Fast forward at age 35 and 17 years on street life is chaos. We did have our son diagnosed at early age by professional testing and was being treated by Neurologist and on medication. For you I worry about your safety. If not you, someone else could get hurt. If she picks up a bat or hits you next time, call 911. She knows you are afraid and will feed on that. You have to nip this in the bud now. She needs help be it counseling, residential treatment before it escalates to the point of no return. Our other two children suffered from the constant outbursts from our son; their safety became the decision to place him in a home. It was a heart breaking decision. [/QUOTE]
