I voted to sell it, but I just bought a 360 and notice there were pretty extensive parental controls.
If you don't want to sell it, but don't want him playing it for a while, I'm sure you could change the settings to where he couldn't play it even if he had access to it. |

2. Password protect all purchases. 3. When he gets it back....the Xbox gets moved to where he has to play it where you can see. |

Can I change my vote to - "what you would have rather done to Thannon Tharpe when you saw him in public?"

My preschool daughter came home with 13 pennies from a boy on the bus and I made her give them to the boys' mom. My kids won't take things that aren't theirs and they will learn it as the opportunity comes.
If my kid stole 3 times, I'd beat their butt hard enough they would pray HARP Rings would bring aliens to vaccinate them with pit bull teeth to numb them. Not sure if I'd sell the Xbox or smash it in front of them. We have a Zero tolerance policy on theft here. No gray area. |

You know what... to teach him a lesson, don't take the entire xbox away. Just take his controller and hard drive. That way he will always see it but never be able to use it.

Just throwing this out there, and not making a judgement by any means. But, do you think not allowing them to have violent games and hoarding all the digital play devices in the living room is fueling a need to act out?

I think he should know why you are going to take a certain course of action because he committed a mistake. But the issue is that he seems to be "taking" things from people without their permission. I am not sure how taking the XBOX from him will fix the problem.
Take it and you surely need to do something else to address what he has been doing. |

This method should shame him into understanding that his underhanded actions are also repulsive. Also, try to setup something where he can earn his Xbox back through positive behavior. Something that would take 2 weeks to a month to accomplish. Problem solved. Your welcome. |

Making him return it, look them in the face and dealing with the consequences is a good start.
Call the mom before hand and ask her to tell him that 'she's very disappointed" in him and that he can't return for a while. All theft should be dealt with by hulk smash. I forgot a boy gave my first grader a dollar last fall and she had to return it as well. It's not hers, she didn't steal, but right is right. |
