    What if my son is stealing and abusing cough syrup
    My son is 16 years old, has a criminal record including class D felonies, has been stealing and abusing cough syrup. He is currently on probation and has a court date pending for failing a urine screen for marijuana. What should I do?

    Me personally, I'd turn him in... he really needs to learn there are consequences for his actions.

    Its clear he hasn't done that this far.

    Ignoring the problem only enables it to continue.

    Your hands are tied,he is 16,still your responsibility as the adult.

    Your actions have to be the adult decision, if someone breaks the law, they need to be subjected to the consequences.

    This behavior needs to stop before he steals fro you and yours.Stop enabling and make a stand.

    Please, please turn him in. Is the court date soon? You could call his PO and he/she could have him come in for a random drug test if you feel the court date is far off. Good luck!

    I know what you can do, let me tell your son to dip while he can because his father, and society wants to **** him. You should at least kiss him on the cheek and tell him you love him, BEFORE YOU **** HIM.

    Society - 0

    Your son - 200 (assuming he is stealing the tussin' as regularly as he should)

    P.S
    Just a side comment, discretely place two bottles of Robitussin gel caps on the table. Assuming he can reach a 4th plateau from two bottles. Wait 3 hours after he ingests them, cut the power to his room, dress up as the grim reaper and scare the **** out of him... just for kicks of course.

    I think you should spank him and tell him he's a naughty panda.

    Of course with a unnecessarily long wooden spoon.
