They don't listen much at this point. The school did not find it so they can't do anything and it would have NO EFFECT on him at all if they did find it and deal out the punnishment. It only hurts the parents.

I agree with a lot of what you say. BUT, I'm the
stepmom - I can give advice, but ultimately, it's not up to me. I'm for corporal punishment, but at some age it stops working, and I think it was around 8 or 9 for my stepson. So, I don't think a spanking did much good. (my hubby did spank him last night).
The bus driver found it - so, technically, he was on school property... She just happens to like him, so she called his mom rather than turning him in... Who knows? Maybe she will turn him in today when she gets to the school...
I like the ideas of touring the jail - scared straight - we know some LEOs, see what we can do....
Thanks for all the input! We would really like to turn my stepson around before he really heads down the wrong path....
