My other half has a 15 year old son who lives with his mum and only spends weekends with us. To keep things short, they recently discovered he has smoked weed and he has gone as far as selling it to his friends or other kids in his school. The mum and dad have been trying to get the truth out of him and get to the bottom of the matter but he has lied to them and admitted lying claiming he did so because he knows how bad things are. Yesterday, both my other half and his ex went through my step son's phone with him around and I have been told what they discovered was really bad, him and his friends (so many of them) talking about weed/ drugs and stuff. His mum wants to involve the school and report it to the police too but dad wants to protect his son and give him another chance to sort things out. And that when he messes up again, he will proceed to take things to the authorities and also move him in with us. I don't have a problem with him living with us (well that was before things of drugs were discovered). I have a toddler and another one on the way, it scares me exposing them to issues of drugs and personally, things of drugs scare me too much. My other says it's only weed at the moment, that if it involved other drugs, it would be a big big problem.
My other half asked for my advise on the issue whether to report or give him another chance but I told him I didn't know cos to be honest, my worry is more to do with me, my kids and what my step son situation means for us. What if his drug issues get more serious and he brings them straight into our home and harm my kids? To be honest, am rather scared.
Please advise as am a confused and worried.
