  • Have you asked for medication for him?  I would have thought that would be something to consider before putting him in care.

    You need to document (perhaps video if you can) his attacks.

    I have a lesser form of this with my 8yo daughter so I know what it is like.  She decides she's angry with me and repeatedly lunges at me and threatens me and I often also have lots of little bruises over me from her.  She is very solid and heavy and is all over the place when she's like that, and I feel a bit like a punchbag too - although your son sounds more severe.

    Have you actually asked for specific help for this issue from services yet?
