Who is dramatic? your only concern is the advanced salary you paid to his parents please give that child hope and future you owe him that

Our house boy steals   Too much. And he also lies. He is about 12 but he talks and acts like a wise thief. He cannot be sent packing because his salary has been paid in advance. His mother is not ready to for go that, instead she says we should beat him seriously when he is caught stealing and lying (i dnt really ascribe to beating because hand don dey pain me ) . How does one punish a little thief ?

send him back to his family. ask them for a refund.

A 12 year old is a baby preparing for adolescents. Teenagers are full of trouble but its understandable because its their time to find themselves not be employed. I do not care whether you are taking this child to school the fact is you are not supposed to employ a baby. Rather adopt him, care for him and teach him the way of life. Why would you even want to employ such a little baby. Go anywhere in the world and you will see that the contitution is against child labour. Serves you right for making a baby do a grown man's job. May that child keep stealing for you until you realise that its your job as the adult to protect that child and not exploit him. Shame on his parents for even giving him away to you. Be ashamed all of you.

Hello everyone,

A 12 year old who is streetwise is not the same 12 year old you have kept at home. Please be careful not to wait until that so called 'Baby at 12' rapes your infant son or daughter. Yes they rape infant boys too...

Please flog that 12 year old very well but please also let him or her understand why they are being punished, not because of hatred but because they have to build a better character in order to stay and work with you.

Please also try to talk about a future with him in terms of school and dreams... Flog when necessary, shot when necessary and love as human, as per someone's child.

Let him know that he is getting old enough to be sent to prison for some certain things.

The truth is life is not a bed of roses for millions of people, child and adult, so much to deal with, so so much, just to survive.
It is either unfortunate or fortunate that he or she need to work harder that their peers in order to go to school or survive. Encourage them to know that stealing is not the answer. They can actually ask for something and get it...

Do your part, if it does not work, send them packing to their family.
