You might even keep a record of your child's incidents at home so you will be able to provide a mental health professional with a detailed description. You can even go online on your computer to find out about mental health professionals in your state. Many states now require mental health professionals to have their qualifications and specialties posted as well as whether or not they have had malpractice charges against them. They will provide you with qualified professionals in your area who specialize in children and adolescents. If your child is aggressive or depressed, consider removing all dangerous chemicals and guns from your home.
Some parents say their children even start fires.
Yet these same parents will continue to keep guns and dangerous chemicals such as gasoline around the house. Amazingly, this woman and the boy's father were allowing this boy to shoot rifles and even lock them up in the gun safe at night. Naturally, I told her this was a very bad idea. Guns certainly have their place in the hands of a responsible adult or teen, but for a child who is unstable or impulsive, they can result in tragedy. Also, remember that children and teens are very good at finding guns that are hidden.
