My son6 has a friend his age who lives right next door. They've been playn together all summer. Well I asked him where is ur DS game? (He only has 1) and he told me the older brother took it away from him n said it was his! I know I'm going to have to to talk the mom now. I just don't like to confront by saying ur son took my sons game? When the little boy came over I asked him where my game was n he said his older brother lost it. How would u handled this situation?

i think that you need to speak to the older boys parents and ask for the game back because the child must learn that he cant steal from his friends. I know its hard but i think that confronting the parents is the best way.

That to me sounds like an excuse and it doesn't sound Like a joke either I think she may be covering for her brother

Hi friend, sad to hear about this, as they both are little kids and don't know anything, since they are kids, we must forgive them for their mistake. But it is good to tell about his mistake to his mum, she will guide him in a good way

My son n his friend r 5 n 6 BUT the older bro who took his game is 15! I went over had his mom wake him up bc I told her I needed MY game back. He brought it n said he was jk! And of course its all forgiven now n good but he can't joke w my Guy like that bc my son believed him. He's 15. He grown in my sons eyes.

There is really only one thing that you can do about a situation like this and that is to talk to the parents of the other child. There is a chance that they will return your child's property to you if they know about their child showing up with something that they know that they didn't buy for them. However, there is also the chance that the parents of the other child are just as dishonest as the child that stole the game.

I did get the game back ty for ur reply. I was just mad bc my son is 6. His little friend is 5. They r both in kindergarten going into 1st next yr. Then this really older kid takes his game? The kid is 15 and in my sons eyes he's a grown up. My son isn't going to argue with an adult so I had to for him. Why joke like that with a little boy? He's not one of ur 15 yr old friends!

Many children did this , my daughter was have a small kangaroo , her aunt gave her a gift , neighbor's daughter take it to play with, after some weeks ,I was surprised one day the daughter of another neighbor playing it .. I asked my neighbor that took it at first, she said to to me have disappeared have not seen for some time, told her I saw him and, and qualified to the girl's mother ,the child came with it from inside her home and gave it to her !!!she told me that her daughter (she was did not exceed 3 years) was play in the entrance appears to have taken it and stayed with them until I saw her play with it . Go to the child's mother and ask her about your child game

Well, it is a complicated situation but if it was me, i would still have to confront the parents. When doing that, i would be very gentle of course as not to make a simple situation become more complicated. About the lost, i would either just forget about it or at least talk nicely to the parents for some kind of compensation.

midnightmom44 If this happen to me and I knew for sure it was my son's game. I would'nt care about confronting the mother right is right I would ask the mother about it and if she seem not to care about it then my next step would be court because if the kids and the mother don't seem to care I would go to court to make a example of them.

I would go straight to the parent(s) of the one that took it. They need to know how he is acting towards other children in your neighborhood. I am gonna guess it isn't the first time he has taken something.
