We all agreed theivey boyfriends are no good. They cannot be part of a househnold.
I've run into this situation before. Adult daughter has children but uses herself. She parks her teenage children at grandma's house. The mom stays out all night, gone for days. Maybe attempts to parent by text and cell phone. Meannwhile the teenage children are out of control (thievey boyfriends, etc). The child is very loyal and codependent on the wayward mom. Grandma has no trouble saying that the adult daughter can no longer live at their house. But what about the 13 year old?
It's a huge mess. Directly related to drug use. One of the myriad ways where drug use messes up entire families.
Daughter blames mom for not 'helping'. Meanwhile thievey boyfriend is removing the valuables. Grandma tries to set boundaries with 13 year old. Child defiant. Likely scenario is that 13 year old ends up on street. No social services available.
When you have this one figured out, let me know.

Do the grandparents fell physically safe in their home with the thievery occurring? That is, is this a threat to their personal safety? The answers should be no and yes. Given those answers I would recommend getting a domestic violence protection order. These DV PO's are not limited to a potential victim but can apply to family members that fell threatened also. Once a DV PO is put in place, the police have to take action if a report is called in by the grandparents. Note that the terminology for this legal process is exacting, a "no contact order" can only be initiated by the court. A DV PO can initiated by a citizen.
