Step-son took my daughter's underwear... what should I do?

Hey everyone, my 15-year-old stepson stole some underwear from my 11-year-old daughter. I’m really worried about what to do next. Should we consider moving out? Any advice would be appreciated.

Oh wow, that’s a tough situation. Have you talked to a counselor or therapist about this?

Yeah, DEF. A professional might help address the underlying issues.

Good point, GHI. Therapy could provide some guidance for both kids.

Is there any specific reason you think he did that? Understanding the motive might help.

Not sure, MNO. It’s pretty confusing to us too.

I see. Maybe observing his behavior more closely could provide some insights.

Have you considered setting some boundaries or rules at home to prevent this from happening again?

Yeah, setting clear boundaries might help. Communication is key.

Is your daughter okay? Make sure she’s feeling safe and supported.

Absolutely, YZA. We’re doing our best to ensure she’s comfortable.

That’s good to hear. Keep the lines of communication open with her.

Do you think moving out is the best solution, or are there other options you’re considering?

I’m not sure yet, EFG. Moving out is a big step and I want to explore all options first.

Totally get that. Maybe start with counseling before making any major decisions.
