Long story short, he thinks he has the right to hit me and break my stuff, and when I come at him, even if its just to walk to him to tell him stop. He will scream bloody murder like someone is stabbing him.

I've had the cops called on me twice because of his foolishness. How do I get this brat to understand that he has NO RIGHTS to hit me and break my stuff.

Can you lock him out of your room?

I live in an apartment, seperate from my mother and him. She brings him over to my apartment whenever she wants to do her thing with men from the internet.

If I locked my apartment bedroom, he would destroy the rest of my apartment.

Is there any that you could maybe like...brat-proof an area of the apartment?

Hopefully they catch her in the act of having sex with men she just met on the internet and deem her an unfit mother and my brother  get sent into child services.

If she still doesn't take note of what you are saying and how you feel:

2. Don't give her the option of dumping your brother on you. Change your locks. Don't let her in if she has your brother with you.

I don't know the situation and I don't mean to cause offense but if he's quite young then try to ensure your mother is looking after him enough.

Finally, whatever you do: if you say your not going to tolerate something or you are going to do something, follow through with it. If the cops have been called on you three times then something needs to be done; you're risking your future for no reason whatsoever.

You should take the time to talk to your mother, say it plain and simply: "This is unacceptable, and I will not involuntarily be your babysitter." Go on further to explain that he is a disrespectful little twat that refuses to be reasoned with. He has no right to mess with your things, or to touch you, explain this to her.

If she refuses to accept this, don't take him into your care. She is a parent and it's her responsibility to find childcare; leaving him with a sibling just because is not right.

But, just so you know: when I say to not take him into your care, I don't mean for you to go and take him to a part, or neglect him. I'm sure you're not thinking of doing this though, that's just irresponsible.
