if this "child" is big enough to be a physical threat to others then the police should be taking action now, not waiting for the outcomoe of a court case. That said, action would probably take the form of informing the father that HE is legally responsible for a dependent that woudl not be recognized as competent in the eyes of a judge/court who is living and under the care of said parent.
The father, while I sympathize with him and his family fully, needs help - and I know in this culture this type of "behaviour" for lack of a better description, is kept private wherever possible, the father needs to recognize and accept that his son is a danger (and he is a danger if he is indeed breaking and entering) to others and that HE (the father) either has to take steps to control his son or ACCEPT the legal consequences.
