[QUOTE="klmno, post: 372017, member: 3699"] According to PO, difficult child said he was proud of himself for being able to pull that off. He and a friend were out last night, difficult child gave $20 to some person he doesn't know to take them downtown. The guy took the money and dropped them off somewhere but difficult child didn't know where they were- it wasn't downtown. The pills- someone gave them to him Fri night for free and said they would get him high. He googled to try to find out what they were but couldn't find info except maybe they are some sort of vitamin (they don't look like vitamins) that if he took too many he would get constipated so he didn't take any. He might be a criminal, but he is still WAY too naive to be doing what he's trying to do. He could be dead from a pervert or a thief or from a drug overdose. Thankfully, PO also seemed aware and concerned about the "what if I'd had woken up" factor. And apparently, since he took the money off 'my person', even though it was less than $100 it is still a felony charge. I hated to do it, but I have filed charges for it. It's not the money or revenge (although I can't pay any bills now and might end up with utilities or communications disconnected, it was making sure the judge gets the point of how difficult child did this and it can't be me not giving appropriate rewards and consequences causing the problem- it was PO's rule that difficult child be on house arrest; it is the law here that minors not be out without a parent past 11:00 PM; it is the law for anyone not to steal money from another person. What reward and consequence could I have given differently that would have prevented this? And my bro is stupid enough to think he can parent difficult child when he has never parented any child or had therapy for himself, much less received any therapeutic training on how to help another.
