[QUOTE="rc606, post: 638582, member: 18472"] Update: So, the State police wanted to take difficult child to a juvenile facility, but the judge said that he wanted that as a last resort and ordered difficult child to stay with my parents until Friday. We have a meeting with the court designated worker to determine a course of action for my son. I was worried that I had some legal liability due to the fact that I defended myself and hit a minor. The state trooper listed me as the "victim" of a class IV assault/domestic violence. difficult child kept screaming at the cop saying that he wanted to press charges, but the cop said "it doesn't work that way son". The reason I'm concerned is that difficult child is saying that he never struck me, which is an outright lie of course. The trooper even took a picture of my jaw. I've talked to the court designated worker to determine what was going to happen on Friday. She tells me that we will decide what to do with him and what treatment program/counseling to set him up with. I explained that I'll do anything to help him. Of course he hates me now and doesn't want my help, oh...and I'm stupid. smh difficult child told my parents that on Friday he's going to ask to be emancipated so that he can just "live on my own". I know that's not going to happen, per the court designated worker. He also said that he would go live in TN with his other grandparents, who incidentally are high powered attorneys (which makes me nervous...always has). That being said, that would be the worst possible scenario for this out of control kid. More freedom and less supervision is NOT what he needs right now. Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated [/QUOTE]
