[QUOTE="klmno, post: 185094, member: 3699"] Terry, I'm finding myself getting really emotional about your son so I'm going to have to detach to some degree. I think there are many different things that could be contributing to his actions, but they won't be solved or cured by the legal system, in my humble opinion. It appears that because these policemen handled things the way they did today, you are comfortable that they will be there to help keep things on the right track in the future. I know you want testing and I hope you get it and get a second opinion on your son's diagnosis. I mentioned the jest of this post to my son because he wanted to know why I looked so upset. You probably won't be comfortable with this, but my son said he could talk to your son and tell him some of the things he's done and why he wishes he hadn't and where these things could lead your son. My son also said that your son is [I]probably[/I] thinking that because the police didn't do anything serious today that means they never will. And, he said that "the parents" now will probably start being stricter on the kid, then the kid will just try to prove he can do what he wants and get around the rules. He said the boy probably realizes that he has some issues, but is thinking that all kids have issues so his probably aren't that big of a deal and that the kid probably has no clue of what he could do about his issues anyway. So, the kid just gets caught up into how to get by doing what he wants to do- because he doesn't understand his own issues, much less have a clue of how serious they are or what to do about them. That might not help your son at all, but my son just told me all this and it has helped me a great deal to hear this from him. If you do want my son to talk to yours, PM me. [/QUOTE]
