My 15yr old son had ADHD and I go months without having a single problem with him, but on seldom occasions he has outbursts of anger. His main problem is he does not understand his anger nor does he know how to cope with his anger.  He has been through a lot in his life with his father and I divorcing and many other issues that he has been through. I just don’t think that calling the police on a child who is acting out because he is confused and does not understand how to handle it all.  I do have him in counseling and I am doing all I can as a mother to help him.  We live in a small town and pegging him as a bad kids is not my goal, so calling the police would be the last thing I ever do to him.
