What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio
My son is 16 and was taken to juvenile after he refused to go to school. We called the police on him and he still would not go to school. He claimed the school was attempting 'mind manipulation' on him. We did not know this, but apparently he has not been to school 8 days straight. The school did not notify us that he did not show up. We saw him walk off to school them 7 days so we figured he was going like he usually does. Anyways, when the police arrived, he refused to go and hooted and hollered at the cop saying "**** the thought police they call teachers!". The court ordered a psychiatric evaluation on him in the juvenile, but he ripped it up and refused to take it. The juvenile wrote him up saying that he said "**** you, I know what you are trying to do with me!". He has always been sort of a free-thinker and has always had straight As, but lately we have noticed some odd behaviors from him. First he buried our TV in the back-yard because it was, as he said, "teaching us kids violent behaviors". Second he has become very obsessive with Buddhism and shaved off all his hair to help him meditate. He very rarely leaves the house anymore and has dropped all of his friends because they "have drank or will one day drink alcohol". Other things of this nature also. These strange behaviors have been going on two months now. He was arrested an taken to juvenile the Friday before Thanksgiving. My mother was schizophrenic and hung herself when I was young so we have thought something like this may have passed on to him. We've been attempting to have him hospitalized rather than in juvenile, but the judge ordered him to stay in juvenile because he has an attitude problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
