[QUOTE="Crayola13, post: 750043, member: 21066"] I'm going to be nosy and ask how he spent the proceeds from the sale of the jewelry. You mentioned that he previously stole £2 from a friend's mom. It seems his stealing gradually escalates from small things to bigger things, which is concerning. I like the idea of him having jobs to do and not being allowed to hang with friends before basic training. I would be a real hard ass, old fashioned parent in this situation. He would be going to school, put to work, and doing penance in the form of hard work, such as a minimum wage job in which he has to Scrub out garbage cans, clean commodes, and all the other things no one wants to do. I don't blame grandma for writing him out of the will. Kids in my family have been written out of the will for habitual behavior of this type. That really shook them up and made them stop and think about their behavior. It sounds like your son has a guilty conscience, which is extremely important in all of this. [/QUOTE]
