He's 12, but one of the most hard-headed kids ever. You would want to say that he's a typical boy but he's not. He steals from my parents, curses, and hits them. The same with me. I'm 18 and ready to move out to go to college. I don't want to leave my parents with this kind of kid. There have been many times where I wanted hold him by the neck and pin him against the wall and teach him a lesson, but I can't. He recently stole $100 from my parents and spent half of it buying food for the other kids that live down the street. Now...these kids aren't poor, their bullies. My parents are immigrants and my brother is the youngest. Makes sense? My older siblings grew up to be great people and I've got a great future ahead of me. All of us grew up in the same neighborhood and we all wonder why my younger brother's having the toughest time staying out of trouble.
With the stealing money issue, I thought he crossed the line. I told my parents that I know people from the police department who could teach him a lesson. I threatened to have one of my officer friends come in and take him to teach him a lesson. All he said to me was, "I don't care. Take me to juvie." At that point, I was speechless and wanted to cry because I felt that both my parents failed to raise a respectful child. I feel that having a police officer to come in and talk to him is our last resort, but my parents won't budge. I don't know what else to do. I'm a girl and for him to grow up with a good mother and two older sister's, he shows no respect for women. Please help me. I don't want to leave my parents with him like this. What are some suggestions? I don't want to give him a beat down. That's the last thing I want to do. The officer that I wanted to talk to is busy most of the time, so how else would I approach that situation? Thanks in advance.
