[QUOTE="DDD, post: 538815, member: 35"] On "the streets" stealing is rarely looked down upon and often is a source of congratulations. on the other hand taking [I]anything[/I] from a friend or the friend's family results in huge disrespect and often exclusion from the group friendship. Ten years ago or so I had a teen difficult child live with us for a week or so. He was attracctive, polite, clean, took out the garbage and brought in groceries with-o being prompted. I just thought he was bubblegum. Coincidentally on the last day of his stay with us I got my first "flip phone" and was really tickled to have the new toy. Before we pulled out of the garage I noticed my phone was missing. The three of us looked and looked and looked for that phone. I don't know where the difficult child hid it because we went through everything. BUT...he sold it the next day and easy child/difficult child and his pals all eliminated that boy from their inner circle. They all knew he was a thief. They did not know he would steal from "family'. His Father told me he started stealing before daycare. Weird and Sad. I assume that is why your son is being ostracized. Sad. DDD [/QUOTE]
