He is supose to be in 4th grade but because of his age he is in 7th. His teachers want to kick him out of school , a couple of days ago he threatin his mother with a knife. He calls his mom a b*tch when it was mother's day . Also they have 2 younger children and when she's working she scared that he might do something to them [ages 8months and 7yrs.]Everybody in the family tries to help but we don't have anymore hope for him.

Answer 4

Sounds like my sisters kids, but they are 100 times worse. She has been these situations and much worse, So I know where you are coming from.

Problem is....... it is the "MOTHER" who needs to do something with the kid. If the mother refuses to do anything the kid is going to keep getting worse.   Someone will have to tell this kids mother that if she wants help with her kid she needs to be calling the authorities or a juvenile system that can handle these types of situations.  It may even come down to him being committed for a while and / or put on medication.  But anything is better then having people hurt because they refuse the get help for the kid. Being scared of the child is not an excuse. There IS help out there for people who need it.

Sorry to say, but.........Until the mother realizes that they need help and makes the call, there is nothing anyone can do until this kid hurt's or kill's someone. Then it will be too late.
