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

CharliesDad

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?

  • Thanks for the reply, very helpful. I spent a good hour at his school discussing what could be the cause of his anger at the moment. His school we very helpful (they even witnessed him having a massive blowout at school).

    There are a couple of things we're going to try, checking that he's not in pain is the first thing. Next month we are getting a home visit from a expert in dealing with agressive children. So hopefully that'll help.

    The big problem now is convincing my wife that all this is not pointless and that things will get better and having a child with Autism is not the end of the world, something she feels at the moment.

     

    Thanks for the help.
