Hello Experts,
I am posting on behalf of the affected family...
I need advice as to how to proceed against 15-year old for harassing his family. The child (only Child) scares everyone at home by his violent behavior and blackmailing that I will leave home if you will not fulfill my demand and also abuses and beats his parents.
He lives on his terms, so no healthy food or hygiene or studies... failing in school. It doesn't seem to be a matter of psychology and counseling has been tried in the past.
Who is the appropriate authority that can be approached in this regard?
Any hint in this regard would be highly appreciated?

Children who belong to the well-off sections of society, are also not free from problems. They are facing a different kind of problem either due to lack of adequate care or attention from their working parents or due to heavy expectation from them by their parents in a fiercely competitive modern world full of uncertainties in life. In cases of working mothers, children are placed in an entirely different situation. The demands of city life are such that both wife and husband tend to remain outside their home for work even at the cost of interests of their children. Working couples are unable to give proper care and affection to their children. Obviously, latchkey children of working couples are strangers to the sense of security enjoyed by their own parents. The system of surrogate mothers or the Montessori and Kindergarten systems of schooling has proved to be a very poor substitute for family as an agent of socialization. With the diminished role of family as an agent of socialization juvenile delinquency is on the increase. In the past children enjoyed security of a kind unknown today. Growing up under the joint care of adults made them feel responsible for all the extended members of the family, besides their own parents. Now children are at greater strain than ever before because in general parents intend to accomplish those things in their life through their children what they themselves could not be able to achieve, no matter how difficult they are. Children are put under great stress and stain to score high marks at schools to be able to meet the ever-increasing challenges of fiercely competitive world of education and employment. In addition to helping their children achieve higher goals of life, women,sometimes both the parents, have to work harder with a view to attaining economic independence and maintaining a higher standard of living of their family.
I am not aware about the exact reasons which led this child to behave which you posted but I can definitely say that there is no legal remedy to deal with such situation in India except to physiologically deal with such child. Sometimes, hammer is required to be used for a long time to break a brick.

LAW GENERALLY DOES NOT COME TO THE RESCUE OF THOSE PARENTS WHO SPOIL THEIR CHILD AND THEN REPENT.
You said it is not a psychological case. It appears to be a case of SPARE THE ROD AND SPOIL THE CHILD
The sketchy facts given by you give a hint that the child may be (I wish it is not so) a potential criminal.
If you really want LAW to help you then you can only be advised to contact Juvenile Justice Board.

As opined and expressed by experts above, it is not having any legal remedy except if he is found to be a psycho he may have to admitted to a mental asylum for treatment or remedy.
If is not under control or cannot be tolerated anymore, a complaint with the police abut his atrocities may be lodged so that he can be taken to a juvenile home, no doubt this would be very harsh but then you cannot have any relief by he continue to live with you to inflict all kinds of tortures every time and make you to live under fear constantly.

The author has confirmed he is not psycho (atleast what he believes/feels)
Law can only offer him to be lodged him in juvenile home because such like behaviour if not from psycho patient is from a spoilt brat a potential criminal.

Sometimes such rebellian attitude can be diverted in positive direction.
Take help of some psyclosist.

Physical violence against the parents definitely gives a legal right to such parents to secure their life and liberty through local police. Complaint can definitely be made accordingly.

Take him to Inner Engineering Retreats at Isha Yoga Center. It is there in many places in India, but the best is down there in the South. I assure you that it will do good to him.

Police complaint / legal action are extreme steps. Again it would be their parents who would suffer and would try for getting him out of such problem.
Such children are general in the society and definitely troublesome for the parents and the society.
A good psychologist would be able to find out and suggest right path.

This is a legal forum and he cam,e for legal views.
All the suggestion of given to taking to psychitiricts or to Yoga centre are not needed byhim.
he himself believe (rightly or wrongly) that child doe snot have a psychiatric problem.
He has nowhere stated as to how his parents have achieved to bring him to this conditions that the beats them inste4ad of being afraid of being beaten by parents.

Respected LCI members, there are some uncontrollable children in some effect the society at large, and there are Laws too too to deal with such problems. The best solutions for such problems is through spiritual touch and not the laws. Yes, the immediate remedy may be the law, but that is not the solutions, as what any parents needs is life long solutions not temporary solutions and the answer lies in spiritual touch. Isha Yoga Center is the best solution my friends in LCI..

In which class the child is studying?
Whether he attends school regularly?
What is the opinion of his teachers?
Though this may not be considered legal advice, however, he may be sent to some high disciplined school having hostel facility.

@Assumi! As we experts are confined only to the legal field, we are expected to confine to our expertise only, however, the matrimonial and children issues are concerned ;HANDLE WITH CARE; which also includes spiritual, traditional, psychological and other means.
As the author has already clarified that they have already adopted psychological means and want only legal solution then we are constrained to attend his query accordingly.
You are absolutely right in your approach and do appreciate it.

Sometime problem has to be treated through alternate route. Once Police complaint lodged,there would be a record for ever. Police complaint should be last route to be taken.
Extra affection of single child has to be thrown away, parents may adopt the route of high disciplined hostel help
However, such discipline may teach him to respect what he is getting today, once he is deprived of the same.

Expert Sudhir Kumar ji,
Sometime Police station can put such childs in crime line permanently.
There are examples, once gone, loose fear from such place.
