I was advised to call police by my sons therapist. The end result was that after a few of these calls the DHS caseworker decided to remove my son back into foster care and put him through residential treatment programs. My son will never again be able to live here at home again due to this states foster care rules that any case open for more than a year parental rights are revoked and child is adopted out of the family. Due to the fact that he is in care because of his own violence parental rights have not been terminated but the state has custody to do with him what they want until he turns 18.

You don't want to lose your son then don't take the foster care and police route.

I have friends in new york and I know that new york has some great residential treatment programs that deal with aggressive and violence of ADHD, Schizophrenia and so on in children.

You can locate them by calling your local mental health agencies and getting your child into therapy and then discuss the residential treatment options with that therapist.

By doing it this way your child will be able to earn passes home for over nighters, weekends and work towards coming home again.
