[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 321829, member: 1991"] Seriously - any punishment should fit the crime. He needs to understand the problems that this caused. You've already taken away a lot of his electronic stuff, I'm wondering if he took the phone so he could play games on it since a lot of the mobile phones have various hand-held games on them. If he's not got access to his own games then he did this out of boredom and thoughtlessness. In which case - you need to deal with both the boredom and the thoughtlessness. I do like the idea of using him as a messenger boy, take him back to how we had to cope in the days before we had mobile phones. Maybe get him to write an essay on the many uses of mobile phones and especially how important it is for someone who uses their mobile phone for business, to always have it available? Maybe he could write about the possible consequences of dad not having his mobile phone when it's the only contact for business colleagues... Just a thought. Marg [/QUOTE]
