[QUOTE="ducky8888, post: 574724, member: 15714"] From my limited experience the use of the police is in extreme cases. I don't see using them as "punishment" as much as using them as defense. With my girlfriend's son, he does not respond to her threats when he is in a meltdown. But when someone who has authority (not me, he has made it very clear he knows I cant do anything) like his father, his grandmother, or the police are notified he responds much, much differently. Those are people he fears and he does not want them involved. So, he has the ability to control his behavior to a degree, he just chooses not to use that control with certain people (mostly his mother). For us, the police are the last resort, when he has gotten violent or is making physical threats, and when they are called he immediately calms down, and is rational again by the time they arrive.
