[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 746518, member: 1550"] I wont tell you what to do but you probably already know where son is headed. Residential may be best. 24/7 watch and lots of therapy. If not he will end likely end up in prison if he is robbing people on the street. People wear cop/body cams these days. He WILL get caught eventually. Cameras are everywhere. My daughter works in Corrections. The inmates in her jail are usually identified by street camera. Crime is not as easy as it once was. Many petty thefts that once were impossible to pin down are getting pinned down now. And there is positive ID. This is some very serious stuff your son is doing. I strongly suspect he takes hard drugs as well as pot. Pot smokers dont tend to steal at that level. Addicts who get withdrawals. Most try to hide from plain sight, unlike your son who is dangerously reckless. . I am so very sad for you and hope he can get the best treatment possible. If it were me I would take advantage of any offered treatment before he turns 18 and then he is legal age and you cant help and the law gets tougher on you. I am not you so you do what you like with son. Nothing is right or wrong. I personally would be too angry at my kid if he or she hurt others that way to be good positive support. My kid would choose seriously inpatient long term treatment or I could not be there. I would not be able to be a rock for anyone doing what your son does unless he was very truly remorseful and begging for help. Then I could. Only then. I would have to love and pray from a distance. But.....I am not you! Follow your instincts! Many hugs! [/QUOTE]
