[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 343823, member: 6546"] Hello and Welcome-- When you say the police told you "Jail or nothing"...that might have been the only option--AT THAT MOMENT. No juvenile is ever arrested and taken immediately and permanently to jail. I think the police were asking whether you wished to press charges or not. And if you [I]had[/I] allowed the officers to arrest him and charge him with a crime--you might have had the opportunity for the court to order hospitalization depending upon his diagnosis. Is there a way you could contact the police department (not for an emergency) but just to ask a few questions about what sorts of options might be available to you? They might be able to give you a few suggestions about how best to handle these escalating behaviors in a way that will bring help instead of incarceration. --DaisyFace [/QUOTE]
