Your child could need a Beyond Parental Control (BPC) order if he:

Is a serial runaway, staying away from home for a day or more

Behaves violently, beating up classmates or family members

Regularly plays truant from school and returns home late at night

Regularly gets into fights at school or is rude to teachers

Has begun smoking, drinking, glue sniffing or experimenting with drugs or sex

Is beginning to get involved in gangs

Faces a moral hazard. Recently, there was a case of a young girl who thought her older sister's sex life involving multiple partners was 'glamorous' and wanted to emulate it.
