To call hostel on DSs behalf?

I’ve posted before about off the rails DS (18, drugs, going out and leaving door unlocked, doesn’t work or go to college, weapons in the house, gang stuff, fights and now he’s told his mate that he’s buying a samurai sword).

Long story but anyway, I told him he had to call hostel this week and refer himself. So naturally he’s stayed away from the house all week to avoid it. WIBU to ring them on his behalf and say he needs to be out of here by the end of next week?

Do the police.know about weapons in the house and the plan to buy a sword. If you believe.he is.a danger to himself or others you can ring the.police.

No don't ring them. He needs to do it.

Change the locks instead. And as for buying a samurai sword? Report him to police.

It's time to get serious.

Agree dont call the hostel, it may not be the right place anyway if he could.be violent. Pack his stuff, change the locks and tell him to leave if you dont want him at home.

The police are the ones who let him go after he committed an unprovoked attack on an unsuspecting man whilst high on speed/coke.

He is an adult
He s clearly found somewhere to stay
Tell police and protect others...he needs consequences and having weapons talen

Tell him he has 48 hours to pack his stuff and leave, and book a locksmith to change locks when he has left or at the 48th hour, whichever is later.
Be prepared to ring Police if he kicks off. Do you have someone who can stay at your house during this time for protection/security?

Maybe.call the police.anyway and speak to the.senior office in charge.

No, don't call anyone on his behalf. Leave that up to him.

If you've told him that he needs to be out by the end of the week and he's been staying away for this week then I suggest that you change the locks. If he turns up again just tell him to go to the hostel as planned. If he starts getting violent trying get back in the house then don't let him in and call the police. If he's demanding his stuff then I'd bag it up and pass it through a downstairs window in order to avoid having to fully open the door and risk letting him in.

Be strong OP. This is a really tough situation but you need to stay strong.

Christ, don't do that, it gives him 48 hours notice to help himself to whatever he fancies from the house. He'd have nothing to lose at that point.

The rest of my post advises OP to have someone with her during the 48 hours...............that way he can't just take stuff that doesn't belong to him!
