anybody else have a destructive child

[Guest guest]

My 9 yr old nephew who lives with us is extremely destructive. I can hardly even let him go to the bathroom by himself. I know if he has been in there too long I better check on him. He is always making a potion. I have removed almost everthing out of the bathroom which irritates my 16 yr old son. He takes the screws out of the light switches. Lastnight I caught him taking the wires out of the phone jack and trying to "rewire it". It seems he breaks every toy he gets. I try to keep him busy and with me most of the time. I am wondering if anyone has anything they give their child to keep them busy. He is very interested in wiring and elecricity, and anything to do with science. Also his birthday is the 23rd of this month and I am at a loss as to what to get him. Any ideas!?
