[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 603376, member: 1550"] Punishing him won't change him. He needs professional help and to get away from abusive father. He is not a typical child. difficult children do not tend to learn from punishment and are very hard to raise because they also don't have respect for adults. With the beatings he gets from dad and the non-parenting he gets from Mom, and you not being able to do anything to get him help, things are unlikely to change on this child's part. I'm really stunned that mom isn't doing more for him. Seeing a counselor once a month isn't going to change him either...not one bit. Your own kids are going to have to deal with this child as long as you deal with him. He won't respect their boundaries either. Isn't girlfriend concerned for her two children who are younger than him, especially the four year old? [/QUOTE]
