If one of your kids lost his mind, and he threathened to kill you and your husband, what would you do??

Question

Say you had a daughter, would you let him come back in the house, knowing that he would NEVER recover and that you and everyone around him were placed at a constant RISK?

Answer 1

No, I wouldn't. He sounds like he might be prone to violence and you don't want to expose your other children to that.

I would first of all get him into a hospital to get a diagnosis and treatment. Then, once he's out of the hospital, have him stay in a half-way home. Try to support him as much as you can, but if you still think he's a danger, do NOT let him come home, especially after having threatened you.You have no way to gauge what he's thinking or whether he's taking his medication or anything. It's a huge risk.

IT's rare for that kind of violence to occur, but it does happen. The son of my parents' friend killed his sister because he was experiencing hallucinations encouraging him to do so. They didn't even know he was ill until it happened. You're lucky that you do know, so don't take the chance.
