[QUOTE="HMBgal, post: 655276, member: 13260"] Well, a week has passed with only one horrible meltdown. The language!! The rage, the tears, the irritability. Lord have mercy. I'm re-reaading The Explosive Child. It's so Difficult Child. He's a little older than the first time I read it, so maybe some of the techniques will work better for us. In any case, CPS. I am a mandated reporter because I'm a teacher, but I've never had to call them. I'm in California, so maybe how things like this are handled differently elsewhere, but the CPS person came out to the school and interviewed both my grandkids at their school. I can only imagine that when news of this gets to Difficult Child's father and and wife, it's going to get crazy. Has anyone had experience with this? How much do they listen to what the kids say? They are 6 and 8. It apparently isn't a horribly urgent situation in their minds because it's put on the 10-day track instead of the 2-day track, whatever than means. The kids are in a safe place, there's no bruises or anything, so I don't know what happens next. The kids are both adamant about wanting to stay with their mother, but I'll bet they hear stuff like this all day long. I'm guessing that they'll interview Difficult Child's father and wife, and some of the allegations made are against Difficult Child's father being rough with one of her little boys. Yikes. All I know is that when Difficult Child is in his rages and saying such terrible things, out of control, screaming, etc., it's really hard not to put your hands on him. So, a woman in Baltimore is made out to be Mother of the Year when she smacks her son around, drags him off the street, and uses really foul language. Can you imagine if we did that? Here in California? That mother would probably be locked up. For the record, I hope that kid stays off the street and protests in the proper way or he'll end up dead, too. Which is what that mom was thinking, I'm sure. [/QUOTE]
