    Default Son Is A Danger To Himself And Others

    I don't know what to anymore! Let me tell you my story and then maybe someone can help. About 5 years ago my oldest son Matthieu started playing with fire. He would start his top bunk on fire and play with matches. He was 12 at the time. We put him on a pins program...after trying everything the councelor at PINS told us to put him in a Mental hospital and have him evaluated. So we did. That started a long string of hospital stays. He started to play with knifes and got a thrill of stabbing his younger brother and sisters beds while they were sleeping. Finally we placed him in RTF(Residental Treatment Facilty) and he did alot better! He then was released to back home to us. Within a week he was hiding in his sister's closet and threatening her with a steak knife, he would terrorize the children. We then took him to the ER and they readmitted into a State Hospital he was there 9 months and then was release to another RTF closer to us! He would come home on the weekends and we didn't know at that time we could refuse him!
    He was so dangerous it wasn't funny! After several AWOLs and sex insidents i had him transfered back to the first RTF. Well he came home for winter break and preceded to hold the children hostage by knife point all night long! It was one of the worst nights of my life. NO charges, he just went back to the RTF and they admitted him into a hospital for observation. Well, since then i've refused to let him near the other children and have had no contact with Matt. To be honest i'm scared of him and the children are terrified!With hubby breaking his back twice i'm worried about what matt could do to him if he tried to protect us! He has written stories on how he will put all of us into the ground and kill each of us very painfully

    Anyways what i need help with is he's now 17 and can sign himself out! He has tried to AWOL twice in the last week and both times headed home once with a 12" knife he stole...he wants to hurt us!!

    Hubby and I have decided to move to NC from NY(we live in NY) in June so he can't come anywhere near us. And we can try to heal and live in peace!.
    I want to leave but what do I have to make it so I don't get into legal trouble..we are both disabled so not much money! Any help would be so apriecated!!

    Thank You so much!

    This will be no easy issue and likely complicated you are going to need an Attorney

    Unhappy Re: Son Is A Danger To Himself And Others

    Thank you! I've gotten advice from attorney, if he signs himself out i'm not responsible for him. He can then go to other family if he chooses but could also stay in shelters. Why he would want to do that i don't know.
    But if he decides to go back to the RTF then i cannot leave the state as it would be abandonment.
    My husband and I have done so much for him in the last 5 years. I guess it's his turn now! He can't get better unless he wants too! It breaks my heart to do this but I don't have any choice. If he signs himself out we are moving out of state so he can't get near the children! I still feel he's only 17 and just a child but like hubby and the drs have said he has a very dangerous and vile mind. They said it wouldn't surprise him if he became a serial killer. How could they let someone that needs this much help out of a mental hospital just because at this moment he's calm....i don't know if this system is working!
    Thank you so much for your help!
    God Bless
