We have noticed more and more that our middle son is stealing. It was just little things before. But the other day we found a $50 note in their room. Our son is 8 years old

We have yet to question him as to where it came from (as he is at his mother's house).

We have tried banning him from toys, making him take the item back to the owner and telling them what he done etc but nothing seems to be working.

He stole a present for his mum for christmas and was proud of the fact. We don't know what to do. We dont think smaking him is going to work. We want to get on top of it now before it gets out of control and turns to something really serious.

Has any one been in this situation before?? How did you handle it??

.

the constellation of the seven stars forming the pleiades appears to be the crowning center around which the known systems of the planets revolve.... it has been suggested, and with much weight, that one of the stars of that group is the dwelling place of jehovah and the place of the highest heavens;..... the constellation of the pleiades is a small one compared with others which scientific instruments disclose to the wondering eyes of man.

but the greatness in size of other stars or planets is small when compared to the pleiades in importance, because the pleiades is the place of the eternal throne of god.. j. f. rutherford, reconciliation, 1928, p. 14.. .

Could you trust someone who has been sexually abus

abused to babysit for your children???

i was thinking about this today, in light of my son's well being, being questioned.

stats show that people who have been sexually abused go on to later abuse someone else.

kelpie

I too was abused as a child and there is no way that I would ever do that to another human being.

I think it comes down to the fact; get help, counselling, whatever and you can deal with the abuse, it doesnt then rule your life.

In my opinion (and this is just my opinion) from what I have seen from the person that abused me was that he was abused by a priest constanly for years starting at a very early age. In his childhood he thought this was the normal thing to do. By the time he realised that this was wrong, it had warped his sense of right and wrong so much that he continued to keep doing it until the day he died basiclly.

The reason?? he didnt get any help. Those are the people that I think are more liking to abuse once they have been abused.

I hope this makes sense.

HEALER (Submissive Extrovert Concrete Feeler )

Like just 9% of the population you are a HEALER (SECF)-- caring, good with people, and patient. You are completely selfless and full of love. As a concrete feeler, you do well with your emotions, which are very strong. You understand and appreciate *why* you feel the way you do, and for the most part you're at peace with yourself.

Suffering in the world really pisses you off.

In relationships, it's easy for you to get hurt. Avoid all kinds of dominant (D***) people, *especially* in dating or marriage. You are a motherly figure, even if you're a guy. If you're a girl, make sure you're a mom some day. The world's children need people like you. If you're a guy, don't even think about it. Most pedophiles are HEALERS.

On the rare occasions when you try to assert yourself, you're cute and awkward, but highly effective.

Ok I am happy with this one. first time I was a helper and it just wasnt me. so I took it again and this one describes me so much better.

Kelps who loves to heal.
