I had similar problems with my older son .... I called 911 when he threatened to kill himself. The police took him to the mental health center for evaluation (around 10:30 p.m.). They transferred him to a local group home (only temporary). This house was a good place for my son to go. They allow the kids to stay there for maximum 15 days. It really helped my son. I visited a couple times, just for counseling.
My son went to that home three times! He really liked it there, and learned some good things that have helped him. Maybe you could look into a similar program ....
