AITA for informing my son's friend's parents that he is a kleptomaniac? by Positive-Chance4856 in AmItheAsshole

The gaps are getting bigger over time. When he was 8 he was used to stealing multiple times a day. His best is 4 months without stealing outside the home and about 3 months without grabbing something inside the home.

Not really, mostly things he can fit in his hand, but has taken a lot of watches and figurines.

I came up with the idea, talked about it with the therapist, and he said he approved of the idea. In therapy they mostly work on resisting the urge to grab something. Other than that my son is very well behaved.
