My 16 yr old son has caused us so many problems over the past year and a half - the usual i guess - drugs, stealing from the house, staying out all night without telling us where he is etc. it got worse with the police being involved, first shoplifting, but more recently with street robbery. This was the final straw that caused us to tell him he could no longer live at home. He comes round occasionally for food, and a change of clothes, and is very confused and out of it most of the time. he needs help but won't accept it. he is in the system in that he is on a supervision order, and there are resources available to him, but he is choosing to beg and live on the street.
it's causing me so much heartache, does anyone have any advice?
I should say that we are a very 'normal' family, he has a younger half brother and sister, step dad has been like a father since he was 1 year old.
