[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 286787, member: 1436"] The first thing you need to do is get a full pyschological evaluation. That can be forced through a Chins or a PINS petition to the court. He is 16, so you still have a few years to force his hand to get the treatment he needs. If you can get in front of a judge with a PINS/CHINS, the courts can force him to attend counseling and/or comply with medications if they are ordered. Sometimes the threat of being locked up can make a difference. With mine, he had to be locked up and that didn't really help much. Check your surrounding towns for Adolescent Behavioral Centers. They will sometimes take them without a referral from an ER---my local ER is not equipped to handle any pysch issues. We do have a local mental health office, and i have used them for admittance as well. Many of us here have lived with alarms on all doors and windows for years. It is a very stressful way to live, but sometimes you have to do whatever it take to keep the rest of your family safe. [/QUOTE]
