[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 714867, member: 1963"] I agree with Susie. The games and screens in general need to disappear. Completely. He'll flip. If he threatens violence or suicide, or destroys property, call the appropriate authorities and have him transported. You've got to come down on this right now and come down on it like a ton of bricks. Believe it or not, parents have been KILLED by children over electronic games. I don't quite get the appeal, and I worked as QC and support manager for a gaming house when I first returned from Germany (that might've cured me actually). What you are seeing here is addictive behavior. What he did is no different than a drug addict stealing to support a drug habit. You have to start looking at it that way and dealing with it accordingly the first step is to prevent access to the "substance", the next and ideally simultaneous step is to secure ALL financial instruments, and anything that can be converted into cash. Secure all weapons as well, depending on threats of violence/suicide, consider securing sharps, too. Meanwhile, don't hesitate to pick up the phone. This kid has got to learn that this type of acting out means hospital or police, and that neither are any fun. [/QUOTE]
