my son is mates with a boy up the road whose parents are smack heads, its a right shame for him. his parents have ripped the bathroom suite out of the house and sold it, along with the fire and central heating system. recently the two boys bought a car between them. sons mates dad came banging on the door earlier to borrow it, coz hes built like a brick shithouse and both boys are frightened of him they gave him the keys. lo and behold the boys dad nicked it and its now in a cube at the breakers yard !!!!!! ive took the kid in as hes frightened of his parents but what the fuck makes people act like this !!!! this poor lad has fuck all at home. most days theres no food in the house. its heartbreaking to see and its all down to his parents drug problems.

Theres your answer. Drugs. Thats what they do. Sounds like the parents are no longer the people they were. Like you say, its a shame but what can you do other than what you are :)

you have to get a linsence to drive a car, and anyone can have kids. I am so glad God put in that childs path. Sound the heating and air from the house, gee, I have seen addicts do some crazy things, but that is one for the books for me.

zaza,these are rented houses, the dad will get on to the housing and pretend hes been away and he will say this has been done in his absence. the landlord will replace everything only for him to do it again at a later date. its a vicious circle.

that is horrible even for an addict. I've seen them sell the furniture out of their house, especially small portable stuff, like computers and tv. Usually those are the first to go. And desperate enough, sell the furniture too.

thats really sad, although a lot of people are addicts where i live and ive seen kids with no shoes in this day and age. its really shocking ...

Drugs and parenting dont mix at all. The drugs always seem to take first place eventually. I am glad that you have taken the boy in lil. You may be the only normalcy he will ever see.
