How do I stop child from taking my son's toys from our home?

Question

there is foster children who come and visit us on occasion and I know that the boy has taken some of my son's toys. He is pretty good at it and I am not at my best health-wise so I cant catch him in the act--and given their situation I'm not really wanting to much of it. I just don't want my son's toys disappearing.

I am going to do outside playing but I need a good excuse for them not to use my bathroom. I just do not have the physical energy to watch this little boy.

the people who take care of the kids are not the full time foster parent-it is the husband's mom. And these folks do not seem to in tune to the little things that these kids do physically or mentally.

Answer 1

i recomend you buy the theiving kid a toy and hope that keeps him at bay and mayb keep an eye out and tell your son to aswell as i cant see him being ok with sum other kid pocketing his toy hope it helps :)  

Answer 2

tell the little thief to stay off your property,

Answer 3

I would try to teach him why this is wrong and help him with his life. There has to be a reason why he is doing this!  

Answer 4

Just say "no" to him coming over at all.

Answer 6

i would speak to the child(ren) directly, the next time that he comes round to your house. like, as you welcome him in the door look him straight in the eye, and say: "i know that you have been taking (your son's name)'s toys. i just want you to know that this is not okay, and i wont allow it in my house. from now on you can only play outside because you cannot be trusted." and thats it. just let him know, and dont feel guilty about it! he is the dirty little theif. also call his foster parents and tell them to bring your childs toys back next time he comes over.

dont feel guilty about speaking up!

good luck :)

Answer 7

tell the people that come to your home that if they don't plan on replacing your son's taoys then they have to keep a better eye on their kids, if not then they're not welcome anymore. Poor sweetie! i wish you were in better health cuz my answer to that would be turn into robocop and frisk the lil criminal at the door. ( he's probably packing some heat if you know what i mean!!!) LOL get well soon.

Answer 8

Easy. Just before the child is schedule to leave your house, check his clothing and overnight bag if he has one. You can do this without being blatant about it. Check the bag in private while he's in another room or outside playing. Then set it in a spot where he can't reach it before he leaves. Carry it outside to the awaiting adults yourself. Before the child leaves your home, give him a great big hug, and discreetly frisk him. Tell him you have a little treat for him (a tiny toy car or a piece of candy is ideal). Tuck it in his pocket YOURSELF. And while you're "hugging" him, pat his pockets and other hiding places. If/when you find something he's taken, remove it and have a talk with him about how it is inappropriate to take things that belong to other people.

Answer 9

I would tell the parents about this I would want to know so I could return the toys and make him realize that what he is doing is wrong and let them deal with him

Answer 10

You should speak to his parents about this, because sometimes even parents may not notice obvious things about their kids. This will be a very important move from your side, because by taking things of other kids he may really get into a trouble one day because of that. I think his parents must be aware about that, as well as they should return all the toys to your kid!

Good luck!
