I wanna encourge shoplifting, but not sure if that's a good idea since that might get the person killed...
(Should be encouaging them to shoplift?)

Fully aware - we've tried it before, but it didn't stick. Probably implementation issues or limitations here. They do this in his school with great success, and I think part of it is that he's so extroverted that when there are other kids also competing, he finds the process more engaging. At home it's just him so it falls flat. Maybe if me and mom were also on the chart earning smiley faces it would hit harder. Sounds kinda fun too.
Daddy made it to ten, get ready for an episode of Loudermilk!

That sounds like a fun twist on it! I like the idea of including the parents, it shows that we're all responsible for our own actions, as well as capable of mistakes and improvement regardless of our ages.
I totally get what you mean about him being more motivated when other kids are around. I've worked with kids in a number of different positions over the years. Sometimes it's easier to handle a group of 20 than a single individual, specifically because peers influence each other.
I can't offer much more besides my support from afar, but from what I've read in this thread, you're doing a great job. Either way, raising a kid isn't easy, but it sounds like you've informed yourself and are doing the best that you can. Thank you.

Wasn't it a £50 note?

See, the guy is better prepared for carrying cash than I am. Here you go

He is thinking of panhandlers, they sit on the side of the road with signs and often get aggressive with people. Same scam as the people with the squeegee bottle and the towel for your windshield. These people uaually aren’t homeless and are just scamming.

Yeah. That's my experience, not everyone begging is homeless, and not all homeless beg. Some 30% of homeless people have jobs.

Well I've been a home. 2 families lived inside me

He's clearly choosing how to respond.

My spouse was recently asked for cash by a woman when walking down the street. We never carry cash. The next day that woman was in the news for armed robbery of a convenience store.
I am not sure what to make of that. The people asking definitely need it though. You could be preventing them from doing something desperate. But at the end of the day it's your bit of money to do what you want.

Ah, in that case this may be a difference between the UK and the US. We get pan handlers and windscreen cleaners here too. And yeah, some are probably a scam, but most windscreen cleaners I've seen at traffic lights will just smile and move on if you just shake your head or hold up a hand and smile. Pan handlers are generally the same here. Not a lot of aggression, but I'm certain there are a few exceptions to that around.
Thanks for the answer btw, I know you aren't the person I originally responded too, but I was genuinely curious to know what they were thinking about
