[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 328439, member: 1514"] Well...if the cops arent working, then try a different tactic. Go ballistic on mental health. Who does he see for his psychiatrist? If no one, start him at county mental health and start up that ladder. I realize you say that the hospital keeps sending him home stating no danger to self or others. Ahhh...such a lovely BS statement. Get creative. When he does start his little rampages through the house and tears things up...well..he is in a threatening mood. You "do fear him". Say so. He is threatening you. Say so. I was once asked if my son ever hit one of his brothers with a weapon. Say a stick or something. Well...Im sure they meant in anger but I knew if I said no, they would deny him a needed service so I said yes. In reality, he had hit them with a stick but it was when they were all sword fighting with sticks in the yard. Just a slight exaggeration to get what I needed. You have to know the criteria for things and use it to your advantage. If danger to self or others is what gets him in, then make him be seen as a danger to self or others. My son ran from his last group home prior to being placed in the state mental hospital. I refused to take him home because I said he was not in my care at that time and that obviously he was a danger to himself if he ran from a group home and they couldnt keep him supervised with 24/7 staff. If they thought he wasnt a danger, call the group home to come pick him up. They wouldnt do it..so find a psychiatric hospital. You have to get creative with the powers that be. [/QUOTE]
