I have WHAT in my yard? :
My wonderful DH had an older half brother who was abusive. His father never protected them from him and even allowed the man to stay when he was a man and had pulled a knife on DHs mother. DH, as a result has very clear ideas about violence and to whom he owes his protection.
Violence is never okay.
Adults are supposed to protect children from violence no matter where it comes from.
I vote for a call to CPS on behalf of the daughter. Some parents cannot see that while we do have extraordinary obligations to our children, especially our sick children, you cannot throw the rest of the kids out on the curb to protect the ill child. The family is a ship and it cannot be allowed to sink because one member is drilling holes in the bottom.
The boy is going to a 6 month program out of state but he is on a waiting list right now, should be leaving January. As for his sister, she is already over 18 so CPS is not an issue for her but she is also leaving for the ARMY in a few months for training. I helped my friend out with research and all and found some programs that would help and she made the calls and found the right one. Hope things get better.
Oh by the way the phrase
VIOLENCE IS NEVER OKAY
She made him write that 100 times and told him if he throws another temper, it'll be 100 more. With a little support and back up, she is now gaining a backbone against him. Her cousin is now in the police department and said he'll help out whenever needed. Things are coming to a big change around here.
