[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 261322, member: 1233"] When my difficult child was hurting people we tried everything. He just kept hurting his sister, making her hide the abuse from me by threatening to kill thank you, who was between 2 and 4 years old. she hid it for a LONG time, but I got up one night because I heard a noise and went in and found him choking her. He was 12 and it took ALL my strength and screaming to get him OFF. I even woke husband up and he could sleep through anything. At that time we were already not letting him be in a room with anyone else with-o one of us in that room. Otherwise Jessie or thank you got hurt. Not so much thank you as Wiz was protective of him. So we got alarms. One was put on the door to the room jess and thank you shared. Jess also had one she wore around her neck at all times when she and Wiz were both home. It didn't do anything to stop Wiz from attacking her, but it startled him and got an adult to the situation ASAP. It also got us up in the night if he attacked her - that was when most of the abuse happened. At night after we had gone to sleep. The alarms were only until I could get a bed in the psychiatric hospital for him. it was a long term facility and they kept him for 4 months. It made a big difference because the other kids made him own his behavior. One kid punched Wiz in the mouth for refusing to take responsibility for trying to kill Jessie. (Staff wanted me to press charges. The other kid was Wiz size, not a bigger kid, so I refused. I WANTED to by the kid a present, but I didn't do that either. This was what actually got through Wiz' head.) Anyway, I think you really need to push for Residential Treatment Center (RTC) if she is that violent and nothing gets through to her. If she is hurting her sister then the police need to be called to transport her to the hospital. Period. Physical violence just can NOT be tolerated. Hurting someone is Basket A and should be immediate 911 call. Here if you do not do that to protect the other children you can lose custody of the kids who are being abused. They won't take the violent child, they take the OTHER kids. I am sorry she is so ill. But hopefully enough psychiatric hospital visits and you can get an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) bed.
