[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 724070, member: 1550"] Anyone who knows in the mental health field would be a mandated reporter. I think I wrote about the boy who admitted at age twelve that he was attracted to young girls. He had an eight year old sister. I do not know if was the reason, but he was put into residetial 24/7 therapy and did have visits home. It was do e to protect their daughter, I assume, not to punish the boy. He had not acted on it, as far as I know. Think of it that way...nothing is a punishment. It is to protect your daughter, if in fact it goes this way. She is the one who needs protection while your son gets help. Our son got help in residential and I hope it worked. He was charged in court because he had already acted out on kids six years younger than him. Another possibility is that CPS, who probably will be involved, may be fine with him staying home if you are willing to put a night alarm on his bedroom door, lock the other kids in their rooms at night and agree to make sure Son is not ever alone with your other kids, especially Daughter. Daughter is seen as a potential victim who needs max protection. It is not a bad idea, if you have the funds, to contact a lawyer and tell and show him all so that he can tell you what he thinks will happen and the best way for Son to get help. I do not believe a lawyer is a mandated reporter, but I dont know for sure. Do get assistance. This can tear a family apart. Please protect your family unit. Dot let this happen. Love and hugs.
