6yrs into taking on my nephew, and it's just escalating by the week. He has been diagnosed with a few things ODD, INSOMNIA, CONDUCT DISSORDER, RAGE, LEARNING PROBLEMS, he has also suffered more trauma than any child should ever have to bare. poor kid didn't really have a chance he was damaged in the womb, n it's been an uphill battle since he was born. He has always taken things that don't belong to him, it used to be food n small change toys or anything that was shiny or rusty for that matter, nothing of real money value, I used to think he was like a Bauer bird but as the teenage years creep in he has moved on to bigger things, Which makes some kind of sense seeing as he only gets $10 pocket money a week and is drinking n taking drugs, he needs to steal what he can to make money to get these thing.
So bikes n Nike shoes, portable speakers money jewlery you name it what ever isn't locked down n worth anything he will take, now the problem is he is known as a thief so now people are coming to the front door looking for their property or revenge on him, n as he can take off for days at a time I'm the one who is answering the door, I have no control of him n he has no empathy for me he has no idea what of the real danger that he is putting himself or me in, he just doesn't seem to care, I really don't want to give up on him but how the hell do I keep, keeping on with this. Wiping snot on the walls, burning the walls poo on the walls stealing my undies cutting up the furniture damaging property at home n out in the streets. Fml, he is 14 n we have so much further to go. What to do...?
