My 13 year old brother has been stealing money and lying to our family since he was 11 and my (29F) parents are struggling to figure out what to do or how to go about punishment or what to do.I’d like some parenting suggestions as we’d like to go about this in the most healthy way as possible, but we’re all pretty shaken up about this. My little brother 2 years ago when he was 11 stole $200 in cash from my older brother to buy skins for fortnite. He got in trouble and things passed.Recently my boyfriend left his xbox at my parents and let him borrow it, my boyfriend found fraud on his bank for a purchase. He let my little brother know he is not allowed to purchase anything and to not do it again. This past week he gets another notification for a $200 charge going through on the Xbox.That same day our dad found another $100 purchase for a game. Safe to say he’s grounded and has no access to any games anymore. THEN, we find out he charged $300 to a credit card that we cannot find right now, someone else’s credit card that is no ones in our family.THIS MORNING, we find out he found his tablet and bought $400 worth of games..... after he’s already in trouble for lying and stealing the money mentioned above.$1k+ in purchasing for gaming and lying about it still.He has fessed up to some of these and is making up lies and saying he doesn’t know where the other purchases came from even though it literally says his name as the purchase.It’s good to note that he’s been emotionally distant from the family for a while so we’re trying to find out what’s going on there. We have an enormous family and he’s the baby, but we’re all extremely happy and love each other.I’d love advice on what to do via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2HWXla5
