I agree with SM.  This boy is in crisis and needs help.

Do you have a self-paced graduation program in your school district?  He needs to get back to regular classrooms or a special program for students who are at risk.

He sounds depressed.  What interventions have been done so far?

What do the dad's say about this??  

Usually a kid at 16 that is dropping out of school, stealing and lying is a kid in crisis that needs intervention.  Is he using drugs, for example?  Has he been bounced here and there between homes?  How are things with his primary parent (or who has him the most?).  


For an 8 year old with adhd, how are you handling the adhd symptoms?  Is this child as well receiving intervention?
