I asked him a lot of pointed questions, denies source of stupid idea. I suggested he watch and see how soon until a squatter is shot dead and their carcass is dragged out of the home.
“a squatter is shot dead”
I can’t believe it hasn’t happened yet
My son came home from school recently with the idea that squatting was okay, if the owners aren’t living in the house, they don’t need it, and others should move in because there is a housing shortage and squatter rights outweigh private ownership rights.
When your son is out of the house, go into his room and take 3-4 of his most prized possessions. Store them away. Wait for him to state they are gone and simply tell him that he wasn’t using them so you took and sold them. After this discussion goes on for a while, point out it is the same with people’s houses. Stealing is stealing and it is clearly wrong, no excuses, no claim of need or lack of use can justify stealing.
