so, yesterday this kid who lives up the hill from my house went to my brother's house and knocked on the door asking for food. his family is pretty poor so my brother just gave him a couple cans of random food and sent him away. (my brother lives next door to me) a few hours later, he comes back and asks if he can use a can opener, and my brother just says sure and goes to get it out of the kitchen
this kid, he's like 14 years old i think? he is also really slow in the head. he has trouble talking and forming thoughts, which is probably why he couldn't grasp why the following is unacceptable behavior. He justlet's himself in my brother's house as he goes into the kitchen to get a can opener, and starts going through the desk in my brother's living room and was taking the cigarette butts out of the ash tray and just pocketing them. Needless to say that's pretty fucking weird, and my brother caught him doing it and told him to get out.
After that, michael (the kid's name) just walks into my brother's house. Doesn't knock, doesn't say anything, just walks in and sits on his couch. this was about half an hour after he asked for the can opener. My brother's dog starts freaking out about it and claws the kid, and then he bit my brother's dog and my brother had to pick him up and carry him out of the house. he told him if he came back he'd call the cops (which is a total bluff just meant to scare him)
So that was all fine and dandy, he seemed to have left after that, but now my mom is worried that he's going to come into OUR house wanting to steal food/cigarette butts. I am a night person and was in the kitchen at 3 am to get a drink, and my mom was awake walking around the kitchen in the dark thinking she heard someone. It's unheard of her to be awake that early so I know this has her really freaked out. I won't know what to do if he comes in my house and attacks one of my dogs, I'm 17 and huge, and he's like 5'6 100 lbs so i'm not worried about him attacking me but if he bites my mom or my dog or something trying to steal from us idk what i'll do.
i kind of want some way to put my mom at ease cause she really doesn't need to be stressed about this fucking day walker coming into our house and stealing/possibly attacking one of us, but i sleep like a rock and have an inconsistent sleep schedule so she's worried he'll show up when i'm asleep
also nobody in my family likes the police due to how they treated my brother after his girlfriend committed suicide, so I doubt she would call them if he came in just because of my brother's ordeal after that incident.
Edit: a family friend named Steve went to michael's house, his dad was too drunk to stand and his mom was high on something (her pupil's were apparently soccer balls)and michael was just walking around their yard playing catch by himself. That was like 3 hours ago and I saw a cop outside my brother's house talking to Steve. (Steve lives with my brother due to being homeless since he can't find a job out of the army)
