Okay so here's a a little background. My cousin Tiffany got pregnant when she was 18. The father of the baby broke up with her after he found out. (he's got 8 other kids and he's only 22) He moved to Idaho after that. Anyways. My cousin for the first few months of her sons life was an awesome mother. Than all things went bad. She started with smoking (ciggs and pot), then drugs (cocaine, meth), stealing and even tasering a 80 yr old man for $30 (drug money)!!!
For the first 3 1/2 years of my 5 yr old cousin, Kee's, life he has been living in hell with his mother and her drug addict friends. several times leaving him at home by himself or with someone who is not physical, or mental there...
About a year and a half ago my cousin Tiffany was caught tasering a 79yr old man, beating him and stealing $30. He survived. He pressed charges. My cousin got caught but her accomplise/boyfriend got away. When she was arrested she was also 1 month pregnant. Later she gave birth and put him up for adoption to a really nice family who are court ordered to take the new Baby Ethan to see her once every month. The state gave custody of her other son Kee to my Aunt (his G-ma) who has been raising him... for about a year now. He's 5 now. His mother Tiffany is in prison for 5 year with 3 yrs probation and with 50% chance of getting custody back. She's only done 1 1/2 yrs so far. So...
Here's the problem... My 5 yr old cousin has been stealing... everything from money to DVDs and CDs. HOW DO WE GET HIM TO STOP?!
He even got caught by a security guard and it didn't phase him. he did it with my Aunt watching him...
We don't know what to do with him!!! He's been a perfect little Gentleman anywhere we take him... But now we are faced with him... ending up like his own mother. By the time he's 10 he'll be in Juvy if he keeps up!!!!
ANY ADVICE?!
