Problems at home
My son has a friend (16), who seems to always be getting a raw deal at home. No matter what he does, his younger brother always gets away with everything. (even utensil fights). My son wants him to move in with us for a while. Good idea? Bad idea? I suggested a school counselor. What advice would you give?

there are arrogant parents out there who will devote all their time and love for a child and ignore other children , you must know this kid, do you want him in your home? if you have not met him yet get to meet him and if you think he is a normal kid or not or if it is all in his head

i dont know wot i been told
I think your suggestion as a school counselor is a very good idea. From personal experience with friends and my parents, I do not think it's a good idea to let him move in. It sucks that his friend isn't treated very fairly at home, but I believe that is something for his family to work out. Your son's friend's family may become hostile towards you and/or your son. I understand that I'm rather young and definitely not a parent yet, so I can't give advice from a parental point of view, but I hope everything works out OK

We were many children at home and my parents "lend" two of us to relatives for some years. One of my brothers even was adopted by his fosterparents. I think nobody was seriously harmed.
I think taking him in would be a bad idea. It's not your thing to deal with. A school counselor would be a much better idea.
