In Need of Help

In desperate need of help! For the past two years I have been having problems out of my now 14yr old son. My older son was shot five times because, my 14yr old had a charlie horse and kicked dirt on a young man's pants while they were at a park. Since then he has been acting out. I have have went above and beyond trying to get help and conseling for him. He was on the honor role and started receiving failing grades because he refused to gto school. I have went as far as filing an ungovernable petition to have him court ordered to go to school, stay from certain places and so-called friends. As a mother of four young men I try to be firm, but fair. My requirements of my children are simple, go to school, keep your room clean, don't use drugs and Be a Something and Somebody instead of a Nothing and Nobody! On March 04, 2008 my 14 year old son was home after refusing to go to school. I then questioned him about being home once again. He then started yelling at me, saying that "he hate me", and telling me that "he will Knock me out"! I threw a paint brush at him and he balled up his fist and said that, "he will knock me out".After being threatned by my on child I called 911 and I waited on the police.Once the police arrived one of the officers said that , "as a mother you have every right to discipline your children especially if they are rude and disrespectful". The officers then left and a female officer returned to tell me that she was training the other officer and he was wrong and that "I did not have a right to discipline". I was on the phone with my mother and I was telling her what the officer said. I explained to her that I work everyday and that My Children Must Abide By The Rules. She then told me to hang up the phone, but she never read me my rights or told me that she was placing me under arrest. I told her that "I did not do anything wrong". She then grabbed my arm and yelled for another officer, he came in and stomped on my foot and slapped me on my neck pulling me down the stairs. After falling down the stairs I was told if I did not put my hands behind my back they was going to taser me. They took me to the police station, although they never read me my rights. I told them that I needed medical care because I had no feeling in my toes and they were bleeding. I was taken to the hospital, once examined I had to get stitches in one of my toes and the other one was broken. I was then taken to PBSO Jail and booked on domestic battery on my son who was very disrespectful to me. Now I am on a leave from my job, because once release I was seen by two other doctors who refused to let me work due to foot, shoulder and lower back injuries I sustained from the Officers using excessive force. All I want to do is be the best mother to my children. It's so much crime and gang activity where we live and I don't want my kids to become apart of that. I am in need of some financial help or resources. If you can Help me please send the prayers,financial assistance or resource information to Juanetta Lewis 182 East 28th Street Riviera Beach, Florida 33404 or email me at Lewis2davis@aol.com .Thank you in advance, pray for me and God Bless You!

There is a place in Mississippi that is free for out of control Teenagers! It is through the military base here. It is for boys and girls and you don;t have to be military to receive help. It's kind of a boot camp. But they teach them so much more. And it's a great chance for them to understand how things are going to go in life. They are housed right in the middle of the base, they DO NOT beat them down or bad mouth them. They use more teen on teen pressure. They helped my now 18 year old son. And I praise them.... Check in your area or call down here, Camp Shelby, Mississippi.........

Although I cannot help financially, as I am in the same boat as you there. I just wanted to say that I am praying for you. Being a Mom is one of the hardest things in the world, and it sounds like you have it a little tougher than most of us. You are a strong woman and loving Mom, you are doing the best you can do and that is really all that you can do.
