Please help ! My step-son is a mess. I banned him with electronic tablet to have him clean his bag and got back at him yelling, disturbing the peace. How can I respond to that? Thx

Oh my, that's just sad, mate.
The kid needs help, and you have to always keep your cool.
thank goodness you knew what to do this time.

You know that's not a legal question right? You might want to go to a stepparent forum or parenting forum.

Oh and you might want to talk to the boy's mother - who you are married to - about his behavior and then she can talk to his dad as well.
