Called 911

Hello everyone!
My 17 year old flipped out last night. He threatened my dad and then knocked over a shelf with stuff on it. Well, we've been told my many to call 911. I just have never done it. Everyone wanted me to call 911 last night. I just couldn't do it, so my husband did. The police came out and talked to my son. We told them he hasn't been takin his meds in a few days. The police were very nice. I was suprised lol. They understood they were dealin with more then a defiant teenager, that he had underlying problems. I have to let his therapist and school know what happened so they can document it. All I did was cry when the police came. I didn't want to get involved, but I had to answer questions. Now my son won't even come out of his room if his pappap is upstairs. He posted on his Facebook that he hates his grandfather and wishes he dies a horrible death. I just can't wait till this all blows over. Hope it does! Thanks for listening. Julie Posted on 10/24/09, 12:10 pm |

It seems like it was for the best that your husband called the police. They seemed really supportive, which is exactly what you need. Very refreshing to see! I hope things are a bit better now.

Hi Julie,
Please feel confident that calling the police was the right thing to do. Threatening his grandfather and damaging things in the house cannot be tolerated. If you must, call the police everytime that it happens. It may be hard for you, but in the long run it will show your son that you will hold him accountable for his actions, and that threats and violence will not be allowed in your home. Towards anybody!!! Stay strong..(hugs)
