Morning JustUs,
My son has recently found a new group of kids to hang out with. This group of boys are very bad influences on him. When my son was arrested last week for stealing, I asked him what was he thinking. He reply was that they dared him to. I do not think these so called friends are a part of a gang, but it does worry me because their actions are not well intended by far.
My son was always well behaved, and made great grades in school. It has only been year that he has started to act out. I have tried talking to him about his actions and the consequences that could occur, but I just get a shrug of his shoulders. He is 14, going on 24 in his eyes. I can not get through to him. I need serious help and fast.
His father is not active in his life at all nor do I have other male role models to step in. I placed him in the Boys and Girls club once but he was highly neglected being there was only 1 male in a team of 6 women looking after over 50 children.
What would you do?
