[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 286791, member: 1233"] If money is not a problem, then go online and find an educational consultant to help you find the right Residential Treatment Center (RTC) or EGBS. Residential Treatment Center (RTC) is residential treatment center and EGBS is emotional growth boarding school. What he can do is help assess your situation and then find a program that will meet his specific needs. It isn't cheap to use a consultant, not when you first look at it. However, using a consultant you greatly increase the chances you will find someplace to truly help difficult child's specific needs. Choosing a placement because it is cheaper or more expensive, or because of the location, is usually not the right way to get a program that will fit his needs. And no matter how much money you spend, if the program isn't meeting his needs he won't be helped. He could even get WORSE. I think you need to get him into a locked facility where they can figure out what is going on and really HELP him. Not throw medications at him until he can't stay awake, or treat him like he is in boot camp, or whatever. With the family history he really NEEDS specialized treatment. I hope this helps. If not, we can find other things that could help. The alarms for the doors should be INSIDE her door so she can get out and OUTSIDE his door so that after a certain time he will not be able to get out to do whatever. It will go off if he opens it, and it will wake the entire family. But he will NOT be able to sneak into one of your rooms to hurt you, or to attack the kids. Have him use the restroom right before you close the door, then when you are up he can be out again. Oh - your quotes were just right! [/QUOTE]
