My teenage boy of 13 yrs has been stealing from my husband and myself recently.
We have noticed since this summer while school was out that he digs in our pockets for money and goes through our belongings in our bedroom to find money. I'm afraid that it is becoming compulsive as we have talked to him and he still does it.
What do you do about it, and how do you effectively discipline before it gets any worse. I am afraid that no matter what I say or do, it will just get worse. He is a bright student at school but was not attending everyday like he used to.
I'm afraid that he may be into drugs. Here in our town we do not have special services/programs or specialists that can help with these problems. I'm so afraid, I don't want him to get worse, and I'm afraid to say the wrong thing.
Please help me, anyone. I am desperate for answers.
