[QUOTE="Praecepta, post: 690703, member: 20025"] Yes, CPS and placement by them into a special foster home would be the option I would pursue. There are group foster homes designed just for these kinds of kids. The problem is he needs 24/7 *constant* supervision. And a "regular home setting" can not provide that. I think I've read it takes 6 employees to provide that level of supervision. That is working 8 hours a day and time off - you need that many people! So if you are exhausted, no wonder! For now I would provide for your own protection. Plenty of smoke detectors in the house, an alarm on his door and a lock on your bedroom door. There are "driveway alarms" which have a wireless "motion sensor" and separate alarm gizmo. You could place the motion sensors in rooms you don't want him to be in unsupervised. Or just outside his door. [/QUOTE]
