DS physically attacked me

[boxingday]

We came home after spending the day with family and got into an argument. DS (15) put me in a headlock and threw me onto the floor. He hurt my ears, knees and elbows. He refused to go away from me or let me get away from him and just continued arguing with me. Then he did something else, I can't quite remember what happened, but he ripped my earring out of my ear. We are supposed to be out today but I'm just sitting at home in tears. He said it was all my fault, and I was angry with him but I think it is unacceptable of him to be violent like this.

This morning I took his phone out of his room and have hidden it. I don't know what to do now.

He's 15 now and did this to you his mother give him 10ish years what could he do to a partner could you live with yourself knowing what he could do?

I would also call the police. You aren't helping yourself or your son by not informing anyone of what happened. He needs help and so do you. It's never a one off believe me. Even if you don't want to prosecute you won't be made to but they refer you to services and support that can help you.

Honestly OP please call the police.

He wont get a custodial sentence. Most likely course of action would be a caution and a YOT worker and maybe a mentor. Youth offending team/service will be able to help your ds restore with you and take responsibility for his actions. A mentor will be a good role model for him and help him learn to regulate his behaviour.

If you don't take control your life will be hell until you do and your ds will cross further and further over the line. Don't let your ds believe it's ok to hurt his mum.

We’ve told her.

I think she won’t take our advice but some day will wish she had.

Boxing Day doesn't owe us an update. It's an awful situation to be in, have a bit of kindness.

Op I work with child to adult violence and you must act now in some way or this will get worse.
If I'm honest it could go either way with the police depending on who you get and the worry is if it's not handled well by the officer then your ds will be cocky and the threat of police will lose its power.
Call them and see what they advise.
Your local child mental health team should be teaching non violent resistance and you can access this via your gp or social services.
Have you got good pastoral support at school? Because they maybe able to refer your for early help and thus acess some support.
What I am saying is that going down the police route is ok but you also need help to manage this long term and find out what makes him act this way.
For now tho keep the phone and reiterate to him why and this behaviour is not acceptable and you will not accept it.
