Have to get an AVO put on a 15yr old

[maz]

OH how sad that he's own mum said to do it

I hope nothing happens tonight hon

Big hugs to you and your family, Dianne. It's so unfair that you're being terrorised by a bleeding child, it's just awful How terrible that his mum either doesn't care or doesn't feel she has the power to control her son, I kind of feel sorry for the kid in a way, if he's got issues that are leading him to act out like this - just a real shame that he's picked your son and family to pick on
I know taking out an AVO on a child seems really harsh, but I have read what he's done to you, your kids and your house over the last few months and I have to say that if I were in your shoes, I'd probably do it. What other option do you have, really? If the safety and wellbeing of your kids is at stake, forget that he's a 15-year-old - he's definitely old enough to know better and NEEDS to know that he cannot continue behaving in this manner. Taking out an AVO may be what the authorities need to be able to handle him, their hands are usually tied when it comes to minors but if there is an AVO in place they can take action if he disobeys the conditions of the order.
Big hugs to you, I'm really sorry you are going through this and are being forced into a corner I hope the matter is sorted out soon and you get some peace.

I would definiently do it, i think? Youve spoken to the mum numerous times about rocking your roof and such, so i think there has been sufficent enough warning. You, your son, your family comes first. Maybe this will make him stop, hopefully and just see what he is doing.... dont know if you can lift the AVO once its been placed but maybe if he stops, you could lift it, so its not there for life for prospective job opportunities? How old is he? Same age as your DS? What a horrible situation, hope you DH gets better!

Ring the GEelong Courthouse first thing Monday morning and make an appointment. Is it you that the boy is annoying, or your son? If it's your son, he needs to go down with you and you (as his mother) can make the application on his behalf.

The Children's Court sits at Geelong - same magistrates etc as the Magistrates' Court, same building - they just announce "Children's Court" at the start of the case rather than "Magistrates' Court".

The Police Officer told me to place the order so that he can't come near our property again and also have it placed on DS as the threats to kill were against him. So not sure if it's the one AVO or two seperate ones..

Regards,
Dianne

You poor thing, I hope you get AVO all sorted out asap. Hugs your poor DS.

Sad that the mother encourages you to do it, she must have no options left herself.

Hugs Dianne, I hope it all gets sorted & you get some peace it must be horrible for you right now.

I understand feeling bad about it but you have to put your family first. It might be that this is what this kid needs to make him sit up & take notice? and it does sound like his mum is ate her wits end too.

best of luck.
