[QUOTE="MyFriendKita, post: 303031, member: 4888"] I think Janet's advice is dead on. I've done it both ways. I've reported my son, and I've not reported him. It seemed like when I reported him, he didn't learn anything. He saw it not as him doing something wrong, but something I had done to him. It was my fault he was in trouble, not his (from his point of view). When he got caught without my getting involved, he seemed to take more ownership for his role in the situation. However, if I thought it might be a matter of my son or someone else getting hurt or worse if I let the situation go on, I think I would go ahead and turn him in. But as everyone else pointed out, you know your child better than anyone else, so only you can make that decision. [/QUOTE]
