[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 351478, member: 1991"] NO, there was no legit reason for him to be outside at midnight, not under the circumstances. A question - did difficult child know that PO was away for a few days? It gives him time to do what he wants, plan to have a spree and then talk you out of reporting it (so he might think). Or as you said, time to come up with a story as to why it's not his fault. Did you warn him that you were going to have to lock the house? Also, what would have happened if you had all gone to bed at a civilised hour and locked up, then later at midnight difficult child decides to get up, unlock the door and go out into the back yard? Can he do that or do you lock up by deadlocking? The only other option I can think of (and safety could be a problem her but I'm sure there are ways around it) is for you to instal deadlocks on all windows and doors and lock them all, every night, then go to bed with the keys round your neck. No spares available. He shouldn't be out of the house on a school night after midnight anyway, not with his shaky situation. Marg [/QUOTE]
