[QUOTE="rlsnights, post: 410320, member: 7948"] Hi Discouraged Dad - Welcome to the board. Glad you found us and sorry you need us. You have a friend you don't know about in Washington state. She is in a similar position with their son and has been through much of the same things you are describing. She too is a newbie and here's a link to her post. [url]http://www.conductdisorders.com/forum/f6/newbie-quest-further-answers-38878/[/url] One of my replies to her included a link to a website with links to a wide variety of services for at risk/out of control youth in Washington. If you don't know about CHINS then you should be looking into that process. It is an acronym for Child In Need of Supervision. You will have to see exactly how it works there but it may be the next step in the process of getting your son out of your home. A lot of times children who need Residential Treatment Center (RTC) are placed there through the combined agreement of the school district (using an Emotionally disturbed identification) and your county or other regional source of funding and foster care services. You don't say where the school stands in this mess so I just thought I'd mention that. I'm sorry I don't have any answers really. You may want to talk to your local police about how to handle things when/if your son is released and he gets violent again. Taping his threats and violent behavior is a good idea in my opinion. Otherwise it is your word against his about what happened should he get violent and you have to physically restrain him or defend yourself and he gets hurt. I have twice encountered families that decided to live separately until the difficult child could be legally kicked out of the home. Both times one parent took the other children and lived separately while one parent lived with the difficult child in hopes of reducing the trauma inflicted on the other children and in response to safety concerns.
