[QUOTE="witzend, post: 123932, member: 99"] Is he on medications? Can you do a signature with diagnosis's and medications and treatments? I'm wondering if you have other children, married, etc... You can do that at the top of the page by clicking on "User CP". Is it possible he's selling his medications? I would be all over the school to coordinate with his PO on the truancies for violation. Your son sounds a lot like mine at that age. His IQ tested at 135, so the world owed him. Sorry, babe, mine tests at 142 and I have a lifetime of experience to add to that number. Trumps IQ and naiveté every time. When we would tell him to just do his homework and get a decent grades and we would send him to college to be whatever he wanted, he'd sneer at us and say "I want to be a prostitute selling my body on the street to fat old men so I can support my crack habit." He'd say it as though that was what we expected him to be if he didn't get an education. In classes or therapy when they would talk about careers, he'd say wanted "to be a pirate or a gangster." This was before the Pirates of the Caribbean movie. After we had moved him out of the house (when he assaulted his dad) we were attempting a reconciliation with him (because it was required of us by the courts) and his homework for the week was to think about what he wanted to be so he could do some college planning, and it couldn't be a pirate or a gangster. He came back the next week with "philosopher." I really liked the therapist we had at the time. He didn't pull any punches with any of us, and "philosopher" didn't make him blink an eye. He asked M how he was going to use that in a job? M said "Well, I'm going to go to Japan and teach." Teach what? "You know, my philosophy." Well do they have jobs for that? "Yeah! You know! Like Aristotle! A philosopher!" We pretty much knew then he was an egomaniac and it was hopeless. If ever you feel threatened either by word or deed, you need to call the police and have him arrested. Tell them that you feel unsafe and he can not come back to your house. They will find him a bed. Get the school on board that his PO needs to violate him for non-attendance. They probably have a policy of suspension or to expell after a certain number of absences. The PO could not ignore a suspension or him being expelled. You will need someone on your side, and it sounds like the other agencies won't be there unless you force their hand. You have to find a way to do this. [/QUOTE]
