OP  -  If he is 14, are these kids in his classes or other activities routinely?   If so you and DH husband will need to be on the same page in consequences and in helping him gain the skills to deal with perr pressure.  With summer around the corner, you will want and need to have him in supervised activities
With little unstructured time to just hang out. It might be helpful to him to get him out of town some of the time to overnight camps.  Kids make bad decisions, but some need more support and oerhsps professional support to avoid making the same mistake again.

You and DH also want to be sure you are seen as taking charge of helping your son face up to all aspects of the incident rather than trying to cover for him in any way.  Personally, I think a direct apology with full restitution or payment for any repair should be done so the neighbor is not invoked in "the parenting" part of the event.  Then you work it out between you and your son.  again try an encouragr some new and positive outside of school activities.  AND, of course, you and DH monitor closely all electronic  use and will need to monitor his free time.  I would stress the main "Famiky or character issue" here is that trust will take time to be rebuilt.

You do not mention having any contact with the other teens who were involved parents, so maybe this is an indication that you will need to make a greater effort to know who he hangs out with.[/quote]
