Mentally Ill Abusive Teen and Legal Rights
I met my now wife 12 years ago, she had 2 children at the time. An older daughter who was 8, and a son who was 4. She left her abusive alcoholic husband, she moved herself and her daughter to live with me. Her ex moved to Florida and took the son. The ex then ended up killing an infant and is now serving life in a Florida state correctional facility with no hope for parole. My wife of course went to Florida and got the boy. The boy just turned 16 and for the past 4 years has been in and out of mental health facilities, seen numerous doctors, counselors and psychiatrist. Hes been diagnosed with everything from ADHD, Bi-Polar, OCD and Aspergers. He steals money, breaks into his sisters room and steals her things, we turned the house into fort knox basically. Every door has a dead bolt on it and lately he's been becoming violent. He threatens us and the dogs. He has real mental problems. Every person we have spoken to from police officers, the DA to judges tell us nothing other then admit him to the hospital again for another round of observations. There has to be some sort of help for parents of dangerous mentally ill teens. Do we have to wait until he kills one of us in our sleep?
