You get a phone call from your 13 year old son’s school. You get to know that he has a gun. When you go to school and talk to his friends you get know

That he wants to join A gang, he likes doing drugs and other dangerous stuff. When you ask him what’s going on, he says stop bothering me. What would you do?
I just hope it isn't too late for a "tough love" intervention that should have been implemented years ago. You're going to need some REAL professional expertise with this. He is in a very brittle state of mind at this point. Please be careful.

@Grateful4you I looked at this as a wildly hypothetical post and not the posters reality.
Kinda like a “what would you do if you had 3 wishes “ type thing.
Surely there must be a problem that he hasnt talked to you about..... he either is scared of his own family or disappointed by it.....

If you find it worth saving him, then Keep him at home.... talk to him and become his friend.... it will take time and effort but make him feel safe at home and with his family.. then change your neighbourhood.... stay his friend and keep your promises that you make to him....

Pretty sure we would move away from there and seek counseling.

Remove him from school first and put him in counseling and put him in a rehab

Treat him politely with care and love, and try to realise him what is he doing its good things or bad things? Without hurting him.. and give him chance to back into his normal life, and try to explain to him, what he doing.. and motivate him to walk on path of humanity..

And try to know reason why he doing it.. who missguiding him and try to reach at his source who try to misleading him and work on it..

I would pull him out of school and we would be home schooling in the evenings.

I would take it as an epic failure of my parenting and as a sign I have seriously missed crucial connection opportunities with my child and do all I could to repair that relationship.
Question where i went wrong that i had no inkling of his behaviour and lack of confidence that he feels so desperate to fit in.
Then, try and fix it with connecting with him again. Learn and be interested in his life, while hoping to open up some bargaining space.
@OogieBoogie you’d make a good mother

What does this have to do with Donald Trump?
It’s his fault @RedBaron
