But it's not really as clear cut as we would like it to be. They are very, very close, nearly inseparable. It can be genuinely hard to say after the fact who is responsible for what. Particularly as my son has reached an age where he can make plenty of bad decisions in his own right, without help.

Sit down with the little one and explain to him while he can still be saved. He needs to know that what he's doing is irresponsible and that you are losing trust in him. Maybe he'll develop a conscience and a sense of shame in doing things wrong. I'm not saying Your daughter is a hopeless cause, but she's most definitely a bad influence. Make sure the little one knows that. You say it’s both of your kids that have this problem, but really it’s your little one following the older one.
