[quote=Anonymous]A close family member of mine has a son who recently turned 18 and is a senior in high school. I've known this kid his whole life, and he's always been respectful and loving towards his family, but as soon as he turned 18 its as if a switch went off in his head. He has been disrespectful and rude, breaking house rules on purpose and then laughing about it when confronted, and eventually moving out after continuously disrespecting his parents and their rules. He's now living with his girlfriend and her mother, his parents have taken back the car and he doesn't have an income. The girlfriend's mom gave him her credit card in defiance because she is supporting this rebellious behavior for some reason.

This is all a lot to handle, but recently it was discovered that this kid is also involved in stealing people's credit card information and has been taking photos of his own family's credit cards and using them to transfer money into his accounts and his friends accounts. 
I think him and everyone around him need to be taught a lesson and that the cops should be involved, but apparently my approach is considered over the top. What would you do if you were in this situation (as parents or close family)?
