Feeling like having son put into care his behaviour is so bad

CharliesDad over 14 years ago

Hi,

My wife and I are seriously considering having our 7 year old son taken into care, his behaviour is so difficult to live with.

Everyday he's agressive and attacks my wife, her hands and arms are covered in scratches.

He won't stop eating or asking for food, when we say no he attacks us.

I obviously don't want to send him away, but he's making life a living hell for us. I getting very worried for my wife.

Anyone got suggestions with what we can do?

Hi CharliesDad,
It sounds like right now you're in a very difficult time coping with your son's behaviour, we're really sorry to hear that and I hope other member's are able to offer you some advice.
Can we ask if you're already getting any support for you, your wife and your son? Have you already looked for help through education or social services?
We'd recommend contacting our helpline on 0808 800 4104, or look at some of the details of other ways to contact the line on the webpage -
