Parents Support One Another @ MyOutOfControlTeen.com/support = I need help with the following issue:
A 15 yo son who lies and steals. 3 years ago he stole a signicant amount of mom's jewelry and gave it to some girl. Her parents were no help in retrieving it. He steals money... more recently a parents ipod and sold it to a friend, that was retrieved. He lies about any and everything. Conversations ranging from he controls himself, no one controls him, not even his parent and that he has to deal with the consequences of his choices.... consequences of taking things away, extra chores, talks with law enforcement...the "cat and mouse" mind games are exhausting..

You need to take your son and get counselling for him , you need to get to the bottom of it.
punish him the way you usually would.. take his stuff away.. or.. does he have something that he absolutely cant live without? a toy? game? etc. try hiding it on him, and when he asks you where it is, tell him you dont know.. let him search for it, and then after a few days/hours etc. show him you have it and then ask him how he feels about that, and how he thinks the people he steals from feel..
I've had the same problem ...my son lies about everything, and he keeps denying, i ask him more then once if he was lying or stealing and he keeps denying and swearing he didn't do it, and the way he denies it makes me believe him..but later i would find out not from him that it was a lie.. my son is 9 but this started when he was 6.
