I was just wondering if any of you moms out there have or know anyone with extremely violent kids. I'm talking about children between the ages of 6 and 12 who physically fight with their siblings or parents to the point of serious injury.
I have my suspicion she is not telling the whole truth with the therapist or CPS or anyone else.
I think if the mom is behaving badly that might be a reason she is trying to cover things up as much as she can and why things may not be improving, she is trying to cover up her own faults as well... Sounds like a tough situation.
Quoting Anonymous:Yeah she does to me to. I really feel that cps needs to really be more involved and have thought about reporting her during some of his violent episodes, but i know she's trying. But she can only do so much and i really believe she needs to think about placing him in an inpatient facility.
Quoting thetrollcat:If someone has not done anything then perhaps the family are not being completely honest about what goes on at home?
Like I said before it is only a matter of time something is going to go wrong and the state will have no choice but to step in (and really step in).
BTW the mother sounds bi polar too.
Quoting Anonymous:Sorry i should have clearer. The boy is medicated, the father is not. They have in home therapy like 3x a week and he is like this when the counselors there. Cps is involved, but not sure how much.
Quoting thetrollcat:I work with troubled kids while I am not a psychologist or therapist or psychiatrist I have had my fair share of hearing parents share their troubles with their troubled kids.
Considering the home environment it does not sound good. if the boy is bi polar and not on medication the boy will continue to be unstable. Sadly bi polar is a mental illness and the boy cannot control his behavior and with all the stress and activities with his parents is probably making it worse.
They really need to get him in to a psychiatrist and a therapist and get him on some medication. I must also add, if the family life doesnt improve the boy is likely going to struggle even on medication.
Sounds like a very sad home situation. I just know after my friend adopting this boy (unwanted family member he is now nine too btw) I thought I saw it all. This boy scares me (my friend) because he can be a charmer but there is also a dark side of him. He too comes from unstable homes (thats right HOMES with S on the end).
Quoting Anonymous:My friends son, who is 9, was diagnosed with bi-polar. But there's a lot of yelling and violence within his home. His dad is no longer in the home and is bi-polar also. He is not medicated and off the wall and his mom yells all the time, threatens suicide in front of her four kids and hits herself in the face when she loses it. It's all so sad.
Quoting thetrollcat:I have read documents and such about kids with violent behaviors and currently know of a friend that has a child that displays violent and other odd behaviors due to distatchment disorder.
I'm not sure if he's ever hurt animals, but he is violent in someway every day and in my heart as bad as it to say i think he will kill someday too. He says it all the time and has even gone after family, babysitter and several others with knives. Don't get me wrong i've been with him one on one and he was mellow then, but he can snap at any moment and you never know what set him off.

Wow yeah i wouldn't let her around my baby either. This is also what i had to do with my friends. It pains me because i do like the boy and he is always stuck at his house, but as explained to her my kids safety comes first. Also my kids were starting to get violent.

My sister was the same as kids she duct taped me to a stool and tried suffocating me, she would tie me up to the bed and leave me there, punch me, chase me with knives I was always afraid for my life finally when she was 17 she was put in a mental institution but my mom took her out after begging she is a pathological liar and has 2 kids that show the same anger as her. Her youngest likes to bite the cat until it bleeds and I have caught her with blood all over her face (she's 2) she punched my baby (now 5 months then newborn) in the head because my dad was holding DD.. My niece and sister are never aloud near my DD and my nephew has it on and off I feel bad for him he's 6

Quoting Anonymous:I totally understand that and he has a great mom to help him through this. My friend doesn't want to admit her son because she is afraid it will make him hate her, plus the closest facility is over 150 miles away and she has no transportation to even visit him.

I just don't want my small child in a psychiatric hospital. My dh and I agreed we'd do whatever we have to do to keep him out even if it means living in two seperate homes to protect the girls. If we felt we absolutely couldn't keep him safe we would reconsider. But for now at least it's not an option.
Quoting Anonymous:May i ask why inpatient is not an option? Not judging, just wondering.
Quoting Anonymous:
He has mood disorder NOS and ODD. He is on medication and in therapy. There isn't a whole lot else we can do but have him go to inpatient. That's not an option to us so we deal the best we can. Consistency, discipline, and lots of one on one combined with his therapy and medication as well as constant supervision.
Quoting Anonymous:What have you done to help him? Has he been diagnosed with anything?

The majority family.
Quoting Anonymous:Is his violent outburst aimed at everyone or just immediate family?
