Giving him up is the most impratcial idea and unlikely to work at all. I cant believe its the centre piece of this thread. Your greater concern should be for the child he keeps driving around with and all other road users that he may one day kill.

Agree with the majority Nick. Can’t help the bloke until he actually realises that there’s a problem - the only catalyst for that will be when he loses something (I.e. custody or freedom)

Don’t think there is any magic answer for the situation and hopefully he gets the help he needs before anything tragic happens.

I'm lost I.B....if I give him up...and he gets caught...wont that take him off the streets...that's what most people here want...For him to be taken off the streets...

I honestly can't report him to family services..But have no problems going to police...and telling them....Then if he gets caught and should as he is always DUI...its his actions and not mine ...that take his son away...

When he sits back and reflects on the situation...he wasn't dealt another bad card iin life...as I feel that's how he would see it..and it might push him over the edge..

He would have to take responsibility for his actions..and really could only blame himself...

As I'm not changing the out come...only making it happen quicker...

Hence removing him from the streets quicker..so certainly reducing the chance he hurts his child himself or anyone else on the road...

Does the childs mum not care? You said his parents don't care, He knows he has a problem does he care? Does he care for his child? And it sounds like your maybe the last mate he has who does seem to care. Tough. Maybe the best answer is to walk away as well. But get help for the child.

In WA they take your car away if you are a HOON, now I would have thought they would take your car away if you are a PISS HEAD.

Getting the car away from him is priority. Hide the keys, fill the tailpipe with expandable foam, disconnect a wire.

If he does not have a car then he cant(harder)to put the kid at risk.

He wont get caught from anything you do. Feel free to ring crimstoppers on 1800 333 000 and see how that works.

so your saying if I rang the local station in his area..they would do nothing....

Not trying to go off topic.....but if I said he was doing burnouts or speeding ..they would be down there in no time....Are you for real...in this situation they would do absolutely nothing...fool.gif

And I don't find the crime stoppers phone number funny either..

I'm in a situation I don't find funny...wanting a bum to have a good look at himself...wake the fark up and make his life better....if I knew how to handle this I.B..I wouldn't of posted it here...

that's the reason I posted it here..was to see what other had to say..

To be honest expected better from your responses..as I waited for you to respond..thinking you would come up with some answers....Sorry for taking you away from booking speeding motorists...

Roosters I feel your pain and have been in a similar situation.

The ONLY thing that I have found that can get through grog and druks is family especially family.

You are better to speak with the exwife and parents about what they have done in the past and if they want to help.

These are the only people who can start the process, as friends come and go, but family have a greater impact.

While IB is being a bit blunt, he is very correct, the police will not do anything unless he is caught in the act.

IF you want the police to do something, follow him when he DUI's again and call the police, so they can intercept him.

Just remember that the results of your actions may not have a possitive effect and may cause more damage.

I strongly suggest you approach the parents and exwife first and if they want to do something, then you have a much better chance.
