[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 307574, member: 1233"] Maybe you could call and have an officer come visit with you and difficult child to help him learn how to handle the situation and to help him see the police as his allies, not his enemies. Just ask for an officer to come to the house to help you and your son figure out how to handle a problem. Usually it is no problem if you can give them a range of times (several hours) so they can come at a time that they are not dealing with a crisis. Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) kids often really like rules. something hard and fast to rely on. So have the officer teach him how to handle things so difficult child will not get into trouble and can get this problem to stop. It is nice to have cookies or something so it feels like a friendly chat to your son. If the officer cannot enjoy them, maybe pack up a plate to send to the office or for him to take home and enjoy. It really makes you stick in the officer's mind as someone trying to do the right thing and teaching your child to do the right thing. Chocolate is a wonderful memory aid, LOL. Seriously, the more senses you involve the more you remember something. So if you have brownies when the officer comes, then make brownies (or thaw them if you want to freeze a batch. Just wrap individually in plastic so you can pull out 1 or 2 for a treat.)and let difficult child have one after each time they bully him and he does what the officer says. Not so much as a bribe, but as a way to keep "the rules" the officer gave him in his mind. After you speak with the officer, future calls to the address may be sent to him, or to any officer. But if you have asked for help and are then following it, the officers will go easier on difficult child and harder on the kids. It has worked for us. Give difficult child a hug for me. It is SO HARD to have all the kids pick on you. been there done that as a child. [/QUOTE]
