Hello,
My oldest child revealed to me yesterday he had thoughts of killing people at the school.
From some kids this might be just a threat. BUT my child has a history of mental health issues, and is currently in the state children's jail system.
Now that I look back at how long he has been in the jail system and what the judge has not let him out due to unsatisfactory mental health facilities here where we live, it all makes sense now.
Is this something I should tell someone about? He says he is not in that frame of mind now, since he has been in jail for a time over his mental health, it is not something he wanted to talk about but he opened the door, so he must of wanted me to know.
Is jail the place for this kid or is a mental hospital? Am I blowing this up out of proportion? Other parents what would you do?
