I would keep the Xbox but obviously take it a way for quite some time. I would then line up chores and make him earn a certain "amount of money" to get the Xbox back so he knows the value of a dollar and what it takes to earn things.

When the Xbox is gone and he is really upset....that is a great time to say
"Hey Boy, How do you think the people who have their things stolen feel when they realize their belongings are gone?" |

I dont see the problem with the black ops. Kid should know the difference between real and fake. I played them all through childhood and I am fine. Now the stealing thing, thats another question. Sell his stuff.

Thats a possibility too. Most kids I grew up with that had very strict parents on tv shows they could watch, games and movies grew up to be more problems then the ones who had more relaxed parents. |

I have to stop reading here at home.
When this photo came onto my screen, my oldest who can read now had walked up behind me...didn't know it...and started laughing, reading this sign out loud. We used it as a 2 minute learning session....and had a discussion about about if it was ok to steal $.25 or $25 and what was the difference. There is none. now they are back to reading and the wild man is singing some song about Jake and a pirate so we're back to normal. I let my kids sit on my lap sometimes playing black ops...and make sure to remind them that is just a game and the cartoon fell down. |

when I was younger I had a case of the sticky fingers. My mom had me pack my clothes and toys, say good bye to my brothers because I would never see them again and had a police officer come to the house with handcuffs saying you better change or youre going with him. It left a mark for sure.
My girlfriend's son is developing the same thing and my solution to it, which has worked to date, was I told him I was going to show him what it felt like to have stuff stolen. I told him anything in his room would become mine if he stole again. If he steals again I'm going in his room, taking his tv, his xbox, and whatever toys are present and hiding them in my room. I wouldn't sell anything though because the reward should be getting what was taken away back. He should be given a chance to prove he's learned a lesson.

Definitely a pattern forming there. I voted sell. And that would just be the beginning.
I do have kids, 10 and 15, but I haven't had to deal with any criminal behavior fortunately. |

Multiple instances of theft plus lying? Sell it.

I brought you into this world, I can take you out. If my dad had ever busted me stealing stuff like this, he would have.... hell, I don't know what he would have done, but it would have been severe and painful. Personally, I'd take the Xbox out to a gun range and use it for target practice, while he watched, and there would not be a replacement for at least a year, and then only if he paid for it himself. Oh, and that would be AFTER his ass had become one with the belt. But that's just me. I assume going Office Space on it with a baseball bat would achieve the same result. Better yet, make him do it. It also sounds like you've got a serious problem child on your hands. Good luck nipping that crap in the bud. |
