[QUOTE="KitKat, post: 117031, member: 4518"] Re kickboxing etc my stepson was enrolled in soccer as a youngster. That went well except for when he was at his mother's house she frequently had "other things to do" and he missed his practices and games. Then we signed him up for football and the same thing - she said when he was at her place on weekends she wasn't going to "drag him all around town" and disrupt her own schedule. He always wanted to play hockey but in my area (famous for spawning NHL players) the game is violent and we didn't think he should be taught how to use his body and a hockey stick as a weapon. I tried to get him into red cross swimming but was told not to bother as he needed to be there on all weekends, not just half of them. We finally signed him up for hockey late this fall when he came back into town to live and his first game... guess what? Huge fight - gloves off. Since then it's been good - he's very talented and scores almost every game. The last two weeks however have been bad at school (suspended for total six days) and his case worker made us promise to cancel his hockey. I was not in agreement as it's the only good thing he does - but I didn't have a say. He does not answer to discipline, will not exercise self control and manages all of the members of his family. His mother alternates between throwing him out of the house and letting him live there but ignoring him when he is there. The time he spends here is structured and he receives discipline but balks at it and gets extremely aggressive. When he comes back from the facility on Friday he will be coming here as there is nowhere else to go. I have made plans to send my youngest to my Mom's this weekend (first time EVER that he will be away from his Mom and Dad) but I am scared that my stepson will do something violent. He has before. Calls to Youth Protection are not taken seriously as every time I call they say they won't do anything because he's not in a full blown crisis. What does it take?? An injury or what?
