[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 554573, member: 1233"] I honestly think you might do more to stop this by selling his possessions instead of taking the $ from his account. I completely understand your thoughts as to why you took his $$, and I would probably have done that also. But selling a game or game system or movie or possession of HIS will make a MUCH bigger impact on him than losing any amt of cash/savings will. When I was at my wit's end with Wiz' stealing and I took his items and pawned them for the $ he stole from me plus an equal amt as the penalty for the emotional cost of the betrayal of having been stolen from, it hit him hard. Partly because I gave no warning, and I did it with-o telling him. His stuff just disappeared and there was a pawn ticket on the fridge. He was majorly unhappy that his belongings were 'violated' and finally it got through (a few days later) that I felt exactly the same way when my $ disappeared from my wallet. My kids know that if they steal they replace double the price of the item. If it is an item, like a pack of gum, they don't get the gum. Something that would be used up like gum or candy they don't get again for months and when they ask for some, they have to tell me why I won't buy it for them. THey have to go to the store and pay the cost of the item times 2 because just paying for the item simply didn't make ANY impact. I STRONGLY STRONGLY STRONGLY suggest reading or rereading "Parenting your Teen with Love and Logic" because the methods in that made an absolute impression on my kids, esp on Wiz' Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) thought processes. I also know several families here with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids who had excellent results using those methods. [/QUOTE]
