[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 564096, member: 1514"] J is a late 5 year old or early 6 at this point right? I cant remember his exact age anymore. To me, this seems pretty normal for his age. I doubt he clearly intended to break and enter your house and vandalize it. He just wanted inside his home and couldnt figure out how to get in. Pretty normal to me. At his age he doesnt have the capacity to think that far in the future. That is why they cant charge children legally for crimes before the age of 7. I think that is too young myself. Im not saying he shouldnt have consequences and discipline. He should. He should know he shouldnt leave school alone because it is dangerous. He needs to wait for mommy or whomever. He should not break a window because he might get hurt...evidenced by his cut. Now mommy has to replace the door glass so he needs to help do something for mom. Maybe take out the trash that the glass is in. Maybe he could draw you a picture saying he is sorry since he cant write well yet. Nothing extremely major. [/QUOTE]
