[QUOTE="seriously, post: 434389, member: 11920"] While I am not generally in favor of sedating kids, if he's running or might run then that may be what you need to do temporarily to keep him safe. it's that or psychiatric hospital in my humble opinion. So yes I would call the doctor today. It's always a judgment call when to up the interventions but I have realized that, at least in our house, we tend to wait too long because once you are into a difficult child-crisis it's hard to step back and get the perspective needed to say "ok, we shouldn't try to handle this on our own." Safety is always the bottom line at our house and the decision point whenever we are deciding between hospitalization or trying to maintain him at home. Since his separation anxiety is so triggering I would understand why you would not want to hospitalize him. Have you considered getting an electronic monitoring anklet for him and an alarm system that alarms when the doors are opened? That way if he takes off the police can find him. [/QUOTE]
