jail or freedom, a disturbed child, what do i do?
103772
If you ask me, it's a big leap from "disrespectful" to jail.  Given the lack of thought that went into your question, I'm not surprised your kid is disturbed.  Don't send your own kid to jail.  If you have really exhausted all other option (which I doubt you have) you could consider in-patient treatment, but kids who go into juvie usually come out wose than they started.

i don't know about Texas but if you go to jail they don't charge you in Louisiana. so my suggestion is go to jail and spend a long time there. maybe by the time you get out you will be willing to accept your kid also :-)

Sure the hell is .do you have a court order? let his P.O know if he is not living up to it get help from family services ,he should be getting"hits"which should sent his ass to jail or prison which is where he belongs if he wouldn't take care of his kids.

Your first phone call should be to a domestic violence agency. They can assist you by offering you counseling, safety planning, and even more importantly they can assist you in refiling for custody of your child. They can help you through all the steps of filing for a custody modification. And they can assist you through the whole court process. They can file as an emergency if you fear for your safety and the safety of your child. \n\nThey can also assist you in finding housing, getting safe shelter, apply for an order of protection, and getting your life in order.\n\nGather your police reports and all important paperwork and make the phone call today!\n\nFor more information on resources available to you in Michigan...check out this website:\n\nhttp://www.mcadsv.org/mrcdsv

Good luck, maybe you could talk to Social Services about being scared about the childrens safety. For the sack on your family don't let them know it was you that reported it.\n\nDoes your wife want to stay in contact with her brother?  If she doesn't just tell him not to contact you. I hate to say it, but out of site out of mind. You can't be charged with anything that you didn't know anything about.\n\nI know someone that has the same kind of problem. He attemped to rape a girl in High School. After 7 years he got out of prison, but he still had the mind of an 18 year old. I think the prison needs to do more then just let there brains roit in prison. His sister just doesn't have much to do with him now. He is in another state too. Distance helps.

Well CookieMonster my advice may not be that ethical but I would suggest that you enroll your son in some sort of self defense course.  As a parent and previous kid yourself you most certainly must realize that if you get too involved that it will only work against your son and he will get the beats more often.  It is very sad that he was beaten so badly that he had to be hospitalized and I would hope that the school he attends has a zero tolerance on violence and that any child who becomes physically or emotionally abuse towards another is suspended.  My advice for self defense course is because it will help to build your sons self esteem as well as better prepare himself in case of future attacks.  He might really enjoy taking boxing lessons and actually get to meet some new friends also.  I cannot speak of this other young man who is suppose to be a friend and whether or not he set your son up, but if he did then it would be wise for your son to stay away from him also.  But if he is sitting with one of the bullies as a measure of his own self preservation then he just isn't mature enough at present to understand the meaning of being a true friend.  Hopefully by involving the police in this latest incident you have somehow put some fear into these others who might want to attack your son and so this will cease and desist.  Kids can be very mean and think they are so tough by beating on younger or weaker kids.  But Karma has a way of balancing things out and hopefully in time they will learn that what they have done has consequences.  Best of luck to you and I hope that your son is going to be alright and gets many well wishes from his real friends while he is in the hospital.

Child of God, you have to stop him, and you need help to do that.\n\nGo to someone that you TRUST who will BELIEVE you, because you need support from an adult.  You may be hesitant to talk to the police or a teacher at first about something so private.  Do any of your close friends have parents they can talk with?  That might be a supportive environment for you to start to get help.\n\nThe important thing to remember is that no matter how hard it is to talk about, or what other people's reaction might be -- it will be much worse for you if this situation continues.\n\nMay God bless you and watch over you, and guide you to the person / people who can help you.

File for a restraining order, or:\n\nTalk to the law authorities that were involved in your uncle's arrest and sentencing. Tell them how you feel about him being released, and ask if there is something they can do to intervene. Not in the sense of keeping him locked up (rulings are official and final), but in creating a legal "barrier" (other than a restraining order) between your family and your uncle. If his crimes were heinous enough (they sound that way), then there may be something more the police can do. Plans like this are often made especially for people / families who are victims of a stalker if and when their stalker is released from prison.

Your son is almost at the age of consent. Sit him down and let him know that you are not confortable with this situation. If need be, approach that young lady, politely, pull her to the side and let her know your feelings. Descretely and politely, let her know that your son is still under that age of consent and she can be arrested. Yes, this is a threat, but done correctly it can come across more as a concerned parent.

there are several missing items from your question that would certainly help us to understand better.  You can't write two sentences and expect normal answers.\n\nThe first question would be:  is he actually locking the door from the outside so that you cannot get out?  This is never okay to do.\n\nSecond:  what room is it?  Your bedroom with a VCR, TV, stereo, cell phone, etc?  Or is it a closet, empty room, basement, or what?\n\nThird:  Is this the only punishment he has used?  Sometimes parents feel like there is nothing else they can punish with.  If they do not hit or abuse, maybe this is all he knows.\n\nFourth:  what is your age?  It sounds like you might be old enough to converse with him about what the problems are.\n\nGood luck to you.

They can contact the general jurisdiction court of your county.  File the proper paperwork that is provided by the court and a hearing before a judge.  If the judge feels it is the best interest of the minor, they will be emancipated.
