12-year-old son has become increasingly more aggressive at home, has been biting and beating up his younger sis. He is getting bigger and too heavy for me to physically remove him to time-out. I am at wits' end with him, don't know how to make him stop his violent behavior.
I have had a talk with him, that sooner or later his actions may cause someone severe or permanent injury, and that we have to find a way to stop this behavior now before someone ends up being seriously injured or dead. I said next time he does anything I may just call 911 and have him arrested for assaulting his sis.
I think this may be a good wake-up call for him.
Just want to hear from others who may have taken such a step in the past, is it a good idea or not?
thanks!
P.S. We live in the state of NY.
