My mom took in an 11 year old boy..Got custody of him, out of the goodness of her heart..He was abused by his dad and left by his mom..He has be to therapist so many times..My mom had a wreck in July and he knows she cant fight back.He has gotten in her face, hit her several times and pushed her in the wall the same day she had surgery on her spine.He has now stolen all her knives out of her Kitchen and has even threatened my mom and sister.He is scared of my step-dad.The court system and law will not help her in any way, they tell her she has got to wait til she goes back to court in October.But I am scared that one day I will get a phone call saying she is in the hospital or worse..I live in Arkansas and she lives in Louisiana about an 1 1/2 hours from me..Please help me help her on what she can do..He is acting out at school and threatening classmates, but the law and court sytem have failed her in everyway..She is desparate for help and wants to get him help.She is a Christain.

She has called them on every occasion and still no help..She is at her wits end..I just got through talking to her and she is really upset and scared for her and my sister..What can you do when the law tells you there is nothing they can do..We have tried every angle..

My mom does love him and that is why she took him in..I know his real parents dont..She has done everything to make him feel like apart of our family and he refuses..

What you are describing is abuse and you need to call the police. He can be arrested for what he is doing. He needs to be locked up, have anger management classes, and more therapy. The police should be called every time until they do something about it.
Also let your mom know that by not calling the police she is doing him more harm than good in the long run. He needs to be stopped while there is still a chance to change him. I had the same problem with my nephew who we raised because his mother was a drug addict. It is a long road.
Good luck your family is in my thoughts.

I really don't know how to help. I am sorry to hear all this. Can't she give him back, through the social services? Can't she call the police and report the fact that he attacked her? I think she could do the latter, but she doesn't want him to go to juvenile jail or something. But she shouls do it, she gave him an opportunity and he just can't take it.

Think about it. The problem with the boy is that no one loves him and ever one turns their back on him. Find a way to deal with it research seek help from someone who will listen and help.
