DO NOT take covert pictures or tape conversations of unless you have obtained legal advice before taking the action. Such actions can be illegal under the laws of the state in which they are done (taping phone conversations is also controlled by federal law).
Keeping record of incidents can be helpful if they can be attested to by a third party. "Third party" does not mean the children, judges do not look favorably on any parent who involves their child unless there is absolutely no other choice.
DO NOT call the police unless you have valid proof that the children or other persons are in immediate danger.
Retain an attorney give him or her all pertinent information and let that person handle the situation. DO NOT attempt to handle the situation on your own or with the help of individuals who are not trained in such matters.
If obtaining legal representation is not an option contact the state's division of child protective services or the state's department of family and children (DFS) services for assistance
I stay away from children.
An unruly act breaks a law that only applies to children.
A lot
They are at the age when children start to date so it is quite possible.
It depends how serious the condition is and if there's a history of violent behavior and such. Rules vary from agency to agency.
Yes, and an "active" alcoholic can also have children.
We can force all children to watch TV for hours on end. This will lower the attention spans of the children making those who have impulsive behavior attention deficits or behavior problems look tame. We would also have to make sure none of the children watch CSPAN or the Discovery Channel. Spongebob and Pokemon would sufficiently lower everyone's attention span.
Yes. Alcoholism is a family disease because everyone in the family is affected in some way by the actions of the alcoholic. Children may feel responsible because in their immature minds, they believe if they were better children, the alcoholic would not drink. Spouses may inadvertently promote the drinking without understanding how they could be doing it. Also, when an alcoholic goes into treatment the only thing that changes is the alcoholic. If the family dynamics don't change, the alcoholic is returning to the same toxic environment. While the family is not the cause of the drinking, a slippery slope exists giving the alcoholic an "excuse" to go back to drinking. It is important for the family to remember that they did not cause the alcoholic to drink, they cannot control the drinking and they cannot stop the alcoholic from drinking.
We shouldn't. Sure media and friends can influence a child's behavior, but ultimately, if a parent sets a good, healthy environment for their kids, good behavior will follow.

Boarding schools do have a proven effect on behavior. However, it tends to have similar effects as any other total removal from an environment which produced disruptive behavior.
What do you think? It's really cold out today. I think I will stay inside where it is warm. This is a slant on health care reform! Obviously!

There is some evidence that schools can inadvertently enhance ADHD-like behavior. For example, one study found that children who were in environments with more stimulating and complex visual displays (e.g., classrooms with lots of posters and materials on the walls) were more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD. It is possible that these children are simply more sensitive to their environment and that the stimulating environment may be over-stimulating for them. In addition, schools often require children to sit still for long periods of time and to pay attention to lectures, which can be difficult for children with ADHD. Thus, it is possible that the school environment can exacerbate ADHD-like symptoms in some children.

Nothing. Once you separate, you don't have anything to do with each other, unless there are children involved in which case one parent will have custody and the other will have access.
