[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 686646, member: 18958"] I cannot imagine a psychiatrist saying this about a 10 year old. This is a child being driven by something he does not understand nor control. Have you thought about calling Child Protective Services? Your other children are in danger. They need to be protected. Your son needs to be protected [I]from himself[/I]. Even if your son needs to be placed out of home in a specialized setting, this would be for his good, and that of the family. What I might do is call a family attorney and discuss the options with them before you decide on any one course. The school district has obligations here too to pay for residential treatment, to educate him in a setting where he can learn and others are safe. The last thing I think is that your son is choosing this. Something is happening within him that he cannot control and cannot understand. He needs help. You know that. I know that. I believe that first, he would need to be contained in a setting outside of the home. Think about the stress [I]on him [/I]of what is happening internally and the stresses of wanting to act it out. He could not as a 10 year old child have [I]intent or understanding of the things he fantasizes or plans to carry out. [/I] I would take him to a regional Childrens hospital. There you will find neuropsychologists who will give him a battery of tests, psychiatrists and neurologists all specializing in children. I would not rule out something neurological, even a tumor or seizures. [/QUOTE]
