[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 537742, member: 7170"] No we don't beat each other up here, but I have shown up kicking myself in the :censored2: a few times. Having been thru the cps nitemare I have to disagree with the cps attitude only abused children exhibit sexualized behavior; knowing now that hypersexuality is a symptom of bipolar disorder and both my girls have it - I'll never know if their father did anything or not, but if I was on his jury they didn't prove anything. I think the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) would be a good idea because he needs more attention then you can give him at home. If he were an only child you could probably manage him at home but if he were an only you child probably wouldn't be here. Point being he's not the only kid in the house and this goes beyond putting a helmet on him so doesn't crack his skull on the stairs. There is a chance CPS may decide to put your other kids in protective custody then you get to cartwheel thru flaming hoops for a couple years to get your kids back and if get really lucky you get to pay child support on your kids that the state stole from you. Meanwhile you still have the ill child to try to get evaluated while dealing with cps. Would be much better if he could be evaluated in a Residential Treatment Center (RTC) where they are better staffed to provide 24 hour monitoring of him.
