Wow! All I can say is I hope this all turns out for the better for you. I would call the police EVERYTIME they do something. Maybe after 25 calls they will FINALLY DO SOMETHING!

Legally no matter how many times she calls the Police this is a domestic matter - not a criminal matter. Unfortunate but the circumstances being what they are, that is the legal answer.
I would suggest against continuing to call the Police after being told they cannot assist because some day OP may need them and they will not take her seriously.
...and actually the police can get tired of them calling and fine them.
In my neighborhood the police come anywhere from 2 to 30 times a day for the same few families. Often they end up saying if you call us one more time we are fining you or taking ALL parties anyway involved to jail.

You're right - same in my neighborhood. Also same thing with alarm systems. They get called, they've been called before, no grounds, they write you up - I have no idea what the charge is.
At a point they are being destructive you MIGHT have a case but in the case of the pool police say it was their pool.
Most I can see is they could take them to court for $ damage of anything ruined by emptying the water ---maybe.

Man. You know, I think they should have a law class in High school instead of college. A class that is only for state and federal laws. To make people clear on each particular law and the most frequently abused ones. What the penalties are and so on. I think people sometimes break laws unintentionally and get severe punishment and then some people get away with all kinds of stuff.
There has to be SOMETHING that can help this OP. I can't imagine that it is totally ok for her son to destroy her property and trash the house and yard and be so horrible and threatening to her and nothing can be done. But if she did that to her neighbor, she would go to jail.
i will try to research any loopholes for you to get them out for you.

Attorneys and paraprofessionals do post on this board - there are no "loopholes." This is family law, not civil, not criminal.
Since the police will not get involved she needs to sue for $ damages of what they destroyed
Not that she will ever see a dime but it is about all she can do
Protection From Abuse order might work but....

Actually many high schools offer business or personal law courses - I don't know how in depth the classes are.
My stepdaughter (who is an Attorney) taught at the high school level as a volunteer but the school discontinued the classes because she was asked and gave advice on various topics - and then discovered she had about 50% of the necessary info and was being quoted as the legal authority - based, as I said, on incorrect advice.
She had no desire to be sued - nor did the school.
