I empathise mama. I think I would rather sell the bike than let any kids of mine ride one.
I also agree that bike is ridiculous for a novice rider.
He's not likely to give it away tho.
I think the best thing to do is to insist your son enrol in what they call defensive driving courses here....something that teaches him how to be a responsible bike rider
It's the best way to make sure he knows how to ride properly and how to deal with other drivers, cars, and dangerous situations.
Pills won;t help. Running away from this will not help you or your son.
What does your husband think?
