[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 566445, member: 6546"] First of all, middle school stinks! I think most kids have a hard time in school at that age... Second - who is prescribing this medication? Don't they have to be seen by a mental health professional at least periodically to get these medications? Third - I think the violence really needs to be in a separate category from "not doing homework". Consequences such as grounding and missing out on fun things are fine for being irresponsible, like not getting school work done. Violence needs to be handled differently. in my humble opinion - you need to draw a line in the sand that will not be crossed. Violence is not acceptable. If there IS ever violence, absolutely call 911. Get your son transported to the hospital. If the medications are changed and he is still violent? Call 911 again. You let them know that you will call 911 each and every time there is violence - and DO IT! Every single time! Meanwhile, I am not in your area - but it seems like there should be somebody you could call to have these boys seen sooner rather than later. I hope some of our members in your area will have some ideas about resources for you. [/QUOTE]
