[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 398766, member: 1233"] Yup. It really hoovers to be robbed. in my opinion it is far worse when a family member does it. I cannot count the times I got blamed for stealing because I had $$ (I worked from age 14 and had awesome (for me) benefits from my job so I didn't spend a lot and usually had cash on hand.) and gfgbro had no money. He either said I stole as a cover to take my money or he stole and then said I did because I had money so I had to steal to have it in spite of having a job. My job was in a used bookstore and I got my snacks/soda and all the books I wanted to read for free so I had very few real expenses and very little reason to steal from anyone. Even now he takes things from my parents and then blames me or my kids. It is one reason we don't go to my parents often. If we haven't been there we cannot be blamed for stealing. Wiz now gets that blame. He knew he would when he chose to live there. Until your son gets some idea of how it feels to be stolen from - without apology, though that is HARD to do as a parent - he will NOT stop. Even that may not make him stop. The cousins may have to call the police if you really want difficult child to stop. AT difficult child's age it will be a juvie record. It may not help or it might. A lot depends on what the "system" does - they can react the way klmno was treated or they can react in a sane way. I cannot say what they will do. I can say that it is going to take a LOT of ugly consequences to get difficult child to stop stealing. I am sorry you have to deal with it. [/QUOTE]
