[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 596624, member: 6546"] I am sorry that you are feeling "admonished"....although I can understand that the advice posted here seems a bit harsh... Generally, the advice on this board is to support and protect innocent family members from the (often abusive) realities of living with a difficult child. That is our first priority. My daughter was officially diagnosed with NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) many years ago - and we found that there was no specific treatment or recommendation that could help...especially since the NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) was only one of several issues she was experiencing. Our number one problem was the fact that she was physically abusing her little brother - and not a single professional was ever able to successfully address that. In the end, we had to develop all manner of strategies for protecting our son from his big sister. So unfortunately, there is not any kind of therapy or discipline of which I am aware that could be requested of a judge that would be the sort of "punishment" that will make any difference for the 16 year old. The only person for whom I can see an impact one way or the other is the five-year-old. That is the reasoning behind my advice to recommend something that will take the 16 year old out of the 5 yhear old's life for a good long time. Sadly - that is the reality based upon my experiences. I'm very sorry... [/QUOTE]
