How do you know when stitches are ready to come out?

My parent's don't care that my step brother got in a fight, and needed stitches?

• ------------------ I asked this a few days ago: Someone cut my step brother? Last night he went to some party, and he was planning on drinking. This morning I saw him change his shirt, and he had 2 huge cuts on his stomach. There was one that went up and down then the other one went right to left. and it covered his whole stomach. There was a bunch of bruises all the way around the cuts, and it looked really deep. He said he didn't do it, and he said he doesn't remember who did(but I can tell when he's lying) so I know he remembers who did it. Should I tell his mom? Why would someone do that?(he's 14) Or should I just tell his 17 year old brother?... he could get it out of him. ---------- I told his brother, and after awhile, the 14 year old said he got in a fight, but he's fine. And not to worry about it. Last night he went to another party or something, and when he got back at like 3am, I heard him come in, so I went out and he had a really deep cut on his face, and he looked like he was gonna cry. I freaked out, and asked him what happened, but he didn't answer. I went and got his brother(17), and the 14 year old wouldn't tell him, so his brother held him down and made him. He said he got in a fight with an 18 year old, but he wouldn't say what his name was, so his brother just got off of him, and he told me he's gonna figure out who it was, and kick his ***. His brother took him to the ER and he got 9 stitches in his face. When our parents found out they were like, "he's fine, boys fight." And they went back to bed. Why don't our parents care?

• Answer:

  that's really messed up. honestly, hes lucky he has a brother and a step sister who care about him. your parents shouldn't of even let him out that late.
