I agree with approach of giving him purpose to work toward or helping him find that elsewhere. I also agree with working this through one of the other family adults in his life.

Funny you mention that, and thanks . This same thought crossed my mind . This kids older sister, has transitioned into a man, and this kid seems slightly lost about his identity maybe ?? When I mentioned " off " above, that is what I was addressing.
When I picked him up, my son was with me ( I was taking him to school ) On the way home, I thought that maybe I should be careful about being around him unsupervised.
It would really grind my gears to get wrapped up in some weird situation or get accused .
My other thought is to protect my young son. You just never know.....
Its a shame we live in such a **** world .
