[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In addition to all of the great suggestions above, OP and her husband should go to the school and talk with the son's guidance counselor.  They should make sure that their son is not in classes anymore with any of the boys.  They may need to dramatically change their son's schedule so that their son is out of contact with these boys.  Sure, the boys may still be in contact on social media and phones but that will die a rapid death once the other boys don't see the son as much.

Tough times call for tough measures, OP.  If your neighbor decides to press charges you will be shocked at how quickly things will escalate.  You need to get your son back on the right track.  This is going to require diligence and effort by you and your husband.  You need to be backing up your husband, not undermining him, and you need to present a united front.[/quote]

Do you really think a guidance counselor is going to change a student's schedule in late March? The vandalism happened outside of school hours. Parent your child.[/quote]

I’m not the PP, but vandalism and theft are both criminal activities. Depending on the value of the items stolen, it may even be a felony. Pretty sure the school would work with you if at all possible when a child has turned into such a bad apple and it may still be possible to right the ship. Or at least prevent it from going under entirely.

The mom seems to be in denial though, so I don’t have high hopes unfortunately.[/quote]

FP.  Yes, the school absolutely will change his schedule, especially a public school.  At a smaller private it may not be possible but a public school definitely will.  I agree re the mom.[/quote]
