[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 747720, member: 1233"] I would call the cops and INSIST on pressing charges if he harms you in ANY way. If you keep doing this, and don't drop charges, eventually they have to do something. If he hurts the other kids and you do nothing, CPS can and probably WILL take your other children. They won't take him because he is almost 18 and they don't want to deal with him. You can call CPS and try to turn him over to them, but it likely won't work. OFten they threaten to take your other kids instead because they don't want to deal with a kid his age. When does he go to court for the felony? Go to court and ask to speak to the judge or to testify. Speak up about how violent he is and how scared you are. Let them know that you do NOT want him to given probation and you cannot allow him to live with you because he is dangerous to your other children. Write a one page letter to the judge and prosecutor if you can - use bullet points to make it fast and easy to read. Maybe you will get lucky and he will get some jail time or he will be so angry he will refuse to stay with you. Sadly, one of your best bets is to make him so miserable that he refuses to stay with you. It stinks and may be wrong, but if you keep hassling him, he may just leave. I hate that this is the way things sometimes end up, but often there isn't any help and all you can do is save the younger ones from him. How soon until he is 18? At 18 I would refuse to allow him into wherever you are living. Just refuse and leave his stuff outside for him to pick up. It seems cold and will hurt to have to do, but as I said, sometimes there are no other options. You have gotten him help for years, and he doesn't seem to want it. I am so sorry about this. [/QUOTE]
