If you think for one second that a nine year old child is “innocent” and doesn’t know much yet about real life things, you might be living in a fantasy world, or under a rock.
I honestly believed that my 9 year old son was simply smart, and amazing in all things technology. And, I do believe that he still is just that.. But, there’s more.. He’s soo smart and tech savvy, that you now have to keep your guard up in all things.
He recently hacked into my “credit Card” and “Debit Card” accounts 3 times. I thought after the first time, it was solved. NO.. he did it again.. and now again.. I am struggling on this.. does he not have a moral compass? no conscience? does he not care about consequences?
As a parent, long-term life goals for my child do not include time behind bars… but, if this route continues, and he becomes more knowledgeable, and dangerous, I might add, we are in for quite the ride.. I am so nervous and sick about these recent events, that I am freaking out inside on how he will turn out years down the road. He’s disrespecting me in ways I just never thought possible. He has pushed me to my limits. I had to call on my dad this morning to help me. I just can’t bear the thought of losing his soul to evil, but right now, I feel that is exactly what he is. He doesn’t care about consequences AT ALL, as long as he gets what he wants. It’s just a shock to my system.
To my core, I have beliefs that children will experiment with little things here and there to push their limits, test their parents rules, and patience. But, honestly, this is just beyond those things to me.
I never would have tried to take my parent’s credit card and charge $1,200 to Walmart.com.. or buy multiple subscriptions for games, points in games, or spotify..
I plan on seeking more professional help beyond his current therapist next week, ASAP.
I understand that school based counseling IS available for private insurers, and I plan on requesting this help ASAP.
My day has been ruined, but his life is about to be changed in ways he never imagined..
Consequences are coming my boy..
NO electronics indefinitely, and they have all been removed from the house.
This just blows my mind…
sigh….
Hoping there is light at the end of the tunnel…
All in a Day
