[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 411693, member: 1233"] The DV center cannot take custody of your child. They CAN help you figure out what your rights are and how to enforce them - and it doesn't matter if the abuser is your child. THey can still help. THey can still go to court with you, help you find a lawyer, help with any/everything else. You say he hasn't "hit" you but has pushed you? THAT IS ABUSE JUST AS MUCH AS HITTING YOU IS. If you were a woman and your boyfriend pushed you when he was mad you WOULD be considered an abused woman (esp if you were hurt when he pushed you or you hit the wall, fell, etc....). My son headbutted me during the last rage he had in our home. In HIS mind it was "just" a headbutt, not hitting or being violent. He pushed me violently back into the edge of the bar and I had an awful bruise all along my back from where I hit. The cops said it was very clearly assault. Abuse isn't just hitting someone. Violence doesn't have to be dished out with a closed fist. They are much broader. PLEASE get an attorney and go to the DV center to get help. If you cannot afford a lawyer, or don't know how to find one, go ask the DV center to help you with this. Remember, you MUST protect the other children. Period. If your son hurts them and you ahven't done all you can to prevent it, you can be charged with child abuse or aiding child abuse (not stopping it is illegal just as child abuse it). So you are in a really TOUGH spot - you still have responsibilities to your child even though he is violent and abusing the rest of the children. This is why you NEED a lawyer. Add in the complexities from being a teacher and you cannot afford to NOT see an attorney. (((((hugs))))) [/QUOTE]
