| How old is he now? beatings are not a good way to go, tempting as it is. Too late now, don't apologise however. I think the correct route is to embarrass the hell out of him. Make him admit to his crime in person to the cousin if possible, in front of as many people who know him as you can find. Ask if the cousin if he wants to press charges, get the BiB to pay him a visit. Every time something is missing ask him if he has taken it, everything new you see him with ask him where he got it from, start locking things away and he might start realising what it is like to be treated as a criminal.
It isn't an easy situation, but you might turn him around. |
