[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 741476, member: 18958"] Hi Sumsky. I have a different take on things. I know your influence has been steady and strong but I am aware that you are in a position where your voice needs to be moderate and subtle. I worry stepson might be mentally ill as well as morally compromised. Clearly there has been intent and ill will in what he has done. But the recent spate of misconduct sounds like he is losing control, and that he is suffering. Has the possibility that he may be suffering an acute mental illness been considered? Could what you are describing point to a loss of control and impaired judgement. I hope that stepson can see a child psychiatrist. I wish his father could see this as treatment as opposed to punishment. Clearly the interventions such as they have been are not working for HIM. He is at risk here every bit as much as your daughter and his other victims. If anything it is his life that has the most to lose. If his father could see that his behavior, the escalation is a cry for help.... That the family paid for the headphones as a way to circumvent police was a disservice to this child. At what point will his needs, as opposed to theirs, take precedence. You have called this right every step of the way. I know this is no consolation. [/QUOTE]
