It sounds like there's no man in your son's life who can talk to him right now, and like many teen boys, he doesn't want to listen to his mother. Is there a pastor or anyone he might pay attention to? If you truly feel threatened, you may need to contact police and have your son taken into custody. That will, in the short term, remove him from his current acquaintences, and it might get him into a drug treatment program. I don't know if places like this can offer assistance: www.drug-rehabs.org/Wisconsin-drug-rehab-treatment.htm

Some more information would be helpful. What state do you live in? (in some states, he is consider grown) What kind of drugs is he or you think, he is doing? If you can not control him, you need to "protect" your other child and you. I am sorry, i can not be of more help at this time but i feel sure other members, will post. please W/B Laura
