[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 271135, member: 6705"] Maybe I'm super sensitive about this stuff but something kept smacking me while I was reading this. [FONT=Calibri][COLOR=#000000][/COLOR][/FONT] We had a similar issue with difficult child 2. That said, you're "only the stepmom"... YUP. You may have no "legal" rights [I]to this child[/I], but [B]you do have rights[/B]. 1 - to live in a safe household 2 - to live without fear 3 - to your own property without it being stolen or destroyed 4 - to inform the authorities (psychiatrist, etc.) about your observations There's more, but honestly - you should let them know what's going on. Because the more points of view they see, the better they can treat the child. Get him into an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) as soon as possible. And tell 8-y/o - don't leave your stuff anywhere out of your bedroom. Can you invest in a lock? How is he getting hold of the cell phone? I wear mine all the time except when sleeping. husband's wanders - he never can remember where he left it - but it does not get taken. {{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}} You shouldn't have to live like this.
