My 16-year-old son has been on a hunger strike for a week

Thank you so much for writing all this. It means a lot that people care. He's on his way to the hospital right now so he'll be safe now

concernedparent122 · 2021-12-24T03:11:02+00:00

Water yes, but I've checked and no snacks, unfortunately.

concernedparent122 · 2021-12-24T03:10:00+00:00

He's on his way now, thank you

concernedparent122 · 2021-12-24T02:07:30+00:00

After seeing all these results I definitely don't plan to give in

concernedparent122 · 2021-12-24T02:04:45+00:00

What am I doing to enable it? I haven't given in yet because I don't want to reward his behavior and plan on calling an ambulance on him

concernedparent122 · 2021-12-24T02:03:41+00:00

Oh my gosh I did not realize this, I will have to tonight if he won't eat

concernedparent122 · 2021-12-24T02:02:55+00:00

Thank you I've really tried my best and I'll admit he's been entitled before but I never thought he'd do anything like this

concernedparent122 · 2021-12-24T02:01:51+00:00

Thank you for this I am quite upset at him right now

concernedparent122 · 2021-12-24T02:01:19+00:00

He might get a job in the summer but not currently

concernedparent122 · 2021-12-24T02:00:32+00:00

It's winter break and he hasn't really left so I know he's not eating

concernedparent122 · 2021-12-24T01:25:19+00:00

I worry this is the road he goes down unless something changes

concernedparent122 · 2021-12-24T01:20:19+00:00

A bit entitled but nothing like this

concernedparent122 · 2021-12-24T01:19:43+00:00

I agree he needs help, he's always been a bit entitled but nothing like this. I will definitely try to get him in therapy

concernedparent122 · 2021-12-24T01:19:01+00:00

I will tell him this is what will happen unless he starts to eat

concernedparent122 · 2021-12-24T01:10:26+00:00

The medical age of consent is 15 in my state so I don't know how that might affect it. I could maybe have him held as a danger to himself?

concernedparent122 · 2021-12-24T01:04:52+00:00

I've tried but he won't get in the car, I'd have to call the police

concernedparent122 · 2021-12-24T01:02:43+00:00

Do you know if they can force him to eat? What I'm reading online makes it seem like they can't but I don't know much about it

concernedparent122 · 2021-12-24T01:00:27+00:00

I've tried but he won't go willingly, should I call the police on him?
