My stepson recently got his son to live with him well he has not seen him in a few years and never really was there for him the boys mom and grandmother tried to raise him but they did some things that was wrong they locked him in the closet and who knows what else well just this year the stepson got him back back in July the son did ok at first but he kept on telling lies so the dad and girlfriend would take things away from him thinking that would help well before he started school the girlfriend had help cleaning their house from the dads sister they was over there the boy somehow got a knife and threatened to kill the ones that was there they called the other aunt she called the cops on the boy and the dad had to come home from work the cops said the boy needed help so then the dad got mad at the family saying it was their fault now keep in mind that the girlfriend has a 2year old in the house the dad did not think about the other child. What would you do if you was in their shoes and alot of people say if he was raised right he would not be this way.

One I would like to know what the age of the child is? Two did they lock him up for this behavior or did the mother and grandmother cause it? This is very sad and this child needs a lot of help to control his anger and hurt. I would move my little one out of the house if he was living with me but the father should stay.

The kid needs help on the psychological level to learn how to deal with what has been done to him. The longer he goes without help the more of a danger he is to himself and others.

The fact that this little boy is having the problems that he is having is not something that is his father's fault alone. The fault for the issues that this young man is having is something that can be attributed to both his father not being there for him and also the abuse that he received at the hands of his mother and grandmother.
The really sad thing to say is that I don't really know if there is a way that the damages that have been done to this child are something that can be reversed.

It does sound like he needs help. Hopefully the law can see that, as I am sure, they will stay involved now. He has no right being mad at them, they have to think of safety first. He was abused and he does need help.

This is a difficult situation, but one that must not be ignored. This child is screaming for help and it sounds as if every one in his past would just shut him up by locking him in a closet. Children need love and discipline. He may be so traumatized from his upbringing that he may need counseling. The father must take responsibility for the boy. His priority must be to him. If his girlfriends 2 year old is in danger, then she should find a new place to live. He had his son first and his obligation should be with him. Trying to figure out how the boy might be like if he was raised differently is purely a waste of time and energy. Energy should be spent on how the boy can be helped now. Pulling a knife on someone is a big red flag, I would not hesitate another day to get that child help.
