[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 557966, member: 1550"] Malika...you're right. This nine year old isn't "right." If he was, he wouldn't want to hang around with a five year old...that alone is a clue. In the US I'm sure he'd have some diagnosis; not sure what. Don't know enough about him. I think maybe it is best to keep J away from this kid. He is older and J may just be copying him and you don't need that. To hello with what the village thinks, by the way. Who cares? I do think that our difficult children have to be monitored as to whom they can hang out with. Sonic could not be with certain kids because they would take shameless advantage of him and he would all but do their bidding. If I told him that friends don't demand money from friends, he'd say, "If he's my friend, I have to share." Share my "bottom." He would end up with NO money. I think J would do best around "typical" behaving kids near his age. Maybe he could pick up some social cues. As for punishing for the action, that is a natural consequence. If the older boy does not understand this concept, he is indeed disabled in some way as he is old enough to understand. I think his mother should pay half the cost, since her child was involved. Hang in there. Sonic once broke the back window of our car at a time when we could ill afford the expense. He was tossing a ball around and threw it hard right against the back window...need I say more? [/QUOTE]
