[QUOTE="sushideluxe, post: 713812, member: 21956"] Thank you so much for the responses. Obviously there is a detailed long list of bad behavior crossing into criminal behavior. Here's what we have done so far: Changed the passwords on all electronic devices. Removed wii and Xbox (he was watching YouTube through one of them) Searched the house thoroughly for contraband (problem is there are a lot of potential hiding places) Locked up his bike for the summer (he is very bitter but with money missing and ongoing behaviors, we do not trust him to be cruising around town unattended) Provided him with the "dumbest" phone possible with no internet access and very labor intensive to text. I have drug tested him twice, both negative, but you can't test for vapes. Purchased a small safe for medications and cash. Got rid of all the beer in the basement fridge (just in case). I have also been trying to avoid confrontation (reading the explosive child) and focusing on the top three behavioral priorities. Also spending quality time with him with lots of positive reinforcement. I thought we were making some progress there. My husband and I gave him an ultimatum last week. Zero tolerance, no vaping/dealing of vaping, no pornography, no stealing, no using other people's electronics without permission or commiting internet sales fraud. If he does any of those things, even once, he's not going to sleepaway camp next month. (I know he doesn't deserve to go anyway but I really need a break. This morning when I came downstairs, daughter's phone was missing. She said she didn't have it and hunted around until she found it in the dining room. Also, the kindle charger was missing. He angrily denied our questioning of him and accused his sister of setting him up. They do get into it occasionally but she has never tried to set him up and he has in the past lied about her doing so and later been caught in the lie. Not often but once or twice. I later found the chargers in the basement but no device. They both admitted to seeing each other downstairs after lights out. She says she was getting water, he says she must have been getting her phone. He has been enjoying Lindamood Bell this week but today was in an angry, foul mood when I dropped him off. I feel like he has violated the terms of the ultimatum; my husband thinks the evidence is circumstantial. Sigh. Thank you for your feedback. [/QUOTE]
