I really need some advice and guidance here guys. SS8 lives with us. We haven't heard from BM in months, she's never taken care of SS. Lately, he's been on a roll with behavior. I caught him stealing $20 from me a week 1/2 ago, he's stolen money several times. Last week he called his teacher fat and hid the note she sent home so he got in school suspension. This morning at 5:30, I had a police officer wake me. SS8 had walked about a mile down the road to a strangers house. He asked them to give him a ride to his Granny's house. They called the police, and the officer brought him home. A few months ago he walked 5 houses down and asked to use their phone. He called BM and she told him she wouldn't pick him up. That lady brought him home and didn't report it. We assumed we corrected the problem after lectures and discipline. I'm not willing to risk him leaving again and having something happen to him. I am also not willing to risk losing my DD11, DD8, or DD3 because SS leaves in the night and I look like an unfit parent. I bought an alarm system for the house today and I hope that gives us time to figure out what to do. We've been trying to get him into therapy but it's been a battle, we keep getting the therapist's voicemail. DH is very involved but he's at a loss here too. DH works offshore and SS doesn't act near as bad when DH is home. I don't know what to do or where to turn for help. Please any advice would be greatly appreciated.
