I dont know about Ohio but in Kentucky a judge has to order a child into boot camp. Try finding other ways to deal with him.

Great I see another person is going raise a non functional juvenile delinquent, ADHD is just something that was made up as an excuse for children who do not receive proper discipline at home and are unable to function properly in society, and in the process helped out the drug manufacturing companies, because the quack doctors over medicate the children into zombies, how about turning your home into the boot camp and making him listen who is the parent here, the child is 8 I think it's time he learned who is running the house, now the question you need to ask yourself is WHO IS RUNNING THE HOUSE?
He doesn't need boot camp you need parenting classes!

8 years old? He does NOT need boot camp, he needs counseling! You can ruin his self esteem by putting him in boot camp. There are plenty of councilors in your area, so use one before you make up your mind. If he were 13 then boot camp is a benefit but right now it would do more harm than good.

I may be outside my limits for answering..,
BUT..,
Please make sure that you ( and all involved.., including son), examine all avenues of solutions.
I, [WE] sent my step-son away.., court ordered,to a boot camp in Jersey.
I am no longer in contact with them, as this was 12 years ago.
The immediate results "seemed" to show good results.., I do not know the longer term outcome,however.
Your son WILL feel that he is being further rejected by you and society.., that is, me going upon the supposition that his acting out has already caused him to be placed on the fringes of society. Schools, other parents.., society in general does not accept acting out.., Hence, I used the term "further".
He may be emotionally young, but everything still needs to be laid out for him, thus he may understand "cause and effect"
Good Luck

I raised a son who had ADHD, Bipolar and Attachment Disorder. The more research I did on the boot camps the more convinced I was that my son would probably die in one.
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE NEVER WALKED IN THE SHOES OF A PARENT OF A "SPECIAL" CHILD. STOP JUDGING THIS PARENT. THESE CHILDREN CAN LITERALLY TERRORIZE YOUR HOME AND REST OF THE FAMILY. WALK A MILE IN THEIR SHOES THAT THEN ANSWER THE QUESTION. OTHERWISE DON'T BOTHER ANSWERING! YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO DO SO!!!
Seek out other help. Sounds like he may have some attachment disorder issues. Best of luck to you. I feel your pain!

ADHD is a fake illness designed to test drugs out on children. Ritalin is 400 times more addictive than pure cocaine. If a kid gets enough Ritalin, they will be unable to get a buzz off of cocaine and will need to resort to heavy duty designer drugs just to get a buzz.
What is really the probably is that your kid is SO bright he outshines everyone else on the planet. You need a place that is designed to take in the super-bright and let them have free reign over their futures.
Why does your kid act the way he does? For two primary reasons...
(1) He is BORED
(2) He is getting his amusment from messing with the stupid adults around him
For some minor help in this - you really need to find a good support group and find a school overseas for him:

Well, 8 is a little early to send him off to the military... Here are a few suggestions, though.
1) Some children behave badly because they don't really know how to behave correctly. The number one most effective way to make a problem child into a good child is not to discipline them more harshly but to offer a system of rewards for behaving well. Pick a specific set of tasks you want your child to do and set gradually increasing goals that your child has to reach in order to do something he wants. Suppose you want your son to eat his dinner, clean his room, and do his homework and your son wants to watch his favorite program on television or spend the weekend with his friends. Start by requiring him to eat a certain amount of his dinner, spend a certain amount of time on cleaning his room, and spend a certain amount of time on his homework. When he does this, compliment him. Tell him how glad you are that he is behaving in the way you want him to and what a good boy he is. At the end of the day, if he has met the goal for the day, let him watch his tv program, and if he hasn't, tell him that he will have to try harder tomorrow and don't let him watch television that night. At the end of the week, if he has met his goals at least three nights, let him have a reward like spending the day with a friend. When he consistently shows he is able to reach the goals, increase them. Gradually build until your child behaves correctly. When he has reached a good level on one of the goals, you can add new goals. Don't be afraid to work with his teachers and have them send home records of the number of times they caught him out of his seat and the number of times he raised his hand and participated positively in class.
2) There can be different reasons for children to be hyperactive and have trouble focusing their attention. One of them is that he may be bored with the material in class. Many teachers don't even consider this possibility because it challenges their abilities as teachers if they are unable to recognize the distinction between a child that is below average intellegence and a child that is above average intelligence. If he hasn't been tested already, I would suggest speaking to your school's counsellor about testing your son's intelligence. If it turns out he is above average, you may need to provide him with extra enrichment, tutoring, creative outlets, and could find out if he qualifies for any programs for gifted students.
3) Of course, if your child does have ADHD, he should be on medication. If medication fails to help, though, it is likely he was misdiagnosed and you should discuss it further with your family doctor.

ADHD is something that was made up for people to use as an excuse for being a bad parent....Here's a way for him to be less hyper...less caffeine and candy! Maybe you should discipline your son instead of letting him run your life. A boot camp is not going to fix your problem because he will still come home to the same environment he left from. You need to change the underlying cause of the problem before you can fix it.

He's 8! Why don't you just spend a little time with him - quality time. Keep him home, hang out with him. He doesn't need a boot camp - he probably needs attention, and a change in his diet - and some discipline/consequences.
If he has ADHD, give him some chores - nothing too big or complicated, just some little stuff - some responsibility. It will help.
Remember, he's you're kid. You love him. You should want to spend a little time with him - one on one, just you and him - and show him that you love him and care for him - he'll come around!
