My grandson has suffered lots of family problems in the past few years and I think has cut off from the real world. His parents do absolutely nothing with him - just happy to give him hand outs every now and again, and are just supporting him in this terrible lifestyle.. He has dropped out of various college courses, and just sits in his room all day playing games. Has no friends, doesn't want to work, . He comes to stay with us for long periods of time in the summer months, but this time I am very very worried about him. He has put so much weight on, doesn't talk or has no interest in anything or wants to do anything, he just sits there all day on his phone doing goodness knows what. Have tried switching off internet but then he just closes his eyes and goes to sleep. We've tried talking gently to him, and he does all the right nods and agrees with what we're saying but the next day he's even worse. The last thing we want is for him to stop coming here. Please any advice on how we should progress with helping him.
