Off the start, avoid agenda-driven third parties (e.g. police, social services, ad nauseum). Have a neighbourly chat with his head i.e. mother. Then you 'll know what you're dealing with.

A Thought that comes to me, have you ever done vollunteer work with your son.

His actions require hands on time.

Many may tell you paddling the rear end is the way. As a foster/adoptive father, taking time to be with the child is the best way. And while you do things with your kid, talk with him about those bad behaviors.
 
Dear Sister, @Twistie
I thought about a scared straight program for OK, but I believe he is being 8 might be too young for the program. However, the mom could check with local law enforcement about that type of program. They could make an exception.

There are bootcamps etc. that could also help. Places like Boy's Town, and even Catholic Church has places for errant boys who haven't yet reached the level of adulthood criminality.

Getting the boy involved in activities/sports/martial arts could also be helpful. Not having a solid male role model, or one that is willing to tan that hide, can be a problem.

I was a child like that. My dad died when I was 10, and my mom couldn't control me at all. So, my mom had me arrested while I was sleeping in bed when I was in my teens. Spent 1/2 year in detention (worse one in the US/now closed), and then a Catholic organization that my mom contacted had a Boys Home which I went to for a couple of years. It stopped me from doing worse things, that could have gotten me incarcerated with the big boys. After that the military, changed me, but ultimately the real change didn't happen until the Lord called me while I was stationed in Germany. Still I've fought God tooth and nail, being a bit of hardheaded dummy myself. :)

Most especially keep the boy in prayer! Asking for avenues to be made whereby he can be helped. Our God is able! Most times we just don't ask, or don't ask rightly enough.

With the Love of Christ Jesus.

Sounds like you are reaching you're asking for support a form of prayer. Remember Christ in us is the teacher. . keep preaching show yourself as friendly, trustworthy.

So you have some rapport with the older brother. He might be able to lead you to the boy's authority. It's similar to a version of doing a "Matthew chapter 18."

It's not the best option, because you're dealing with the issue of authority. Satan will continue to invade those areas where the authority issue is fuzzy, confusing or nonexistent. So it's paramount that you discover who is the ruling authority in the boy's life, and then work it out from there. It's a wasted exercise swatting flies in the kitchen when the back screen door has been left open.

If you don't reach the boy (by activating the proper chain of command), then the enemy otherwise will (in the absence of the proper chain of command).

That's ok, as long as there is also a "neighborhood grandpa" covering you, who is in agreement with your actions as the "granny."

God's kingdom is a kingdom of order. What gets the job done, is when proper spiritual alignment protocol is followed.

Without leaning to my own understanding, I'll just ask you and you can give me understanding. Seeing how you know God and you're in good standing with God, how come you don't ask him for his advice, instead of asking these people for their advise? I understand that council from God or being led by the Holy Ghost, would far exceed any advice of anyone on or off the internet. Do you agree with my understanding?

I can see where you r at n personally I got real life issues Lord told me that many think they sit comfortably in the Light but they run amok in darkness Lord also tells me not to throw my pearls to swine or pour into a cisterns with holes..
Only one can help you n that's the Lord Himself..

With that I say.. May the Lord rebuke you may He pour out His Truth upon you n give you the spiritual strength your gonna need to accept n digest it..

For the Light either blinds one or enlightens one.. ya can spend time with the Lord n Let Him reveal to you or ya can keep walking in darkness stumbling n trying to cause grief n divisions among brothers that your monkey n your circus..

Have a good one hope ya choose the Lord ways over ya own

I can see that you hate correction and resist it. You will never go nowhere with the Lord without being corrected. Why are you resisting my correction? I'm trying to help you out the Lord is never going to rebuke me for correcting you.
 
In fact the Lord is going to reward me for trying to correct you and set you straight.

I love the rebukes of the Lord. May the Lord rebuke me every time, no exceptions before I even think about doing anything, that is a sin.
And may the Spirit of correction always abide and reside within me and on me, at all times.

See, you are my blessing from God
I love the rewards of God. I live for them everyday all day long.

You didn't do anything,
it was the Holy Ghost that did it.
It was the Holy Ghost that
helped me, not you.

My days are always better than a good day, because the Lord is my God.

In fact, just the thought of my God, makes me invincible, and undefeatable. I've never lost a battle never ever, I have never been defeated. Because the Lord is my God and I don't mind telling you, in fact I want you to know it.
