The kids are also scared of him because there are a lot of scary stories about him. He is said to kill people's pets and other small creatures. When people's flowers are closed, it’s blamed on Boo. He also stabbed his father’s leg with a pair of scissors in the middle of nowhere. Another reason they will not meet Boo is because he has not been seen in a long time.
Boo sees Scout and Jem as his children. Boo has watched the kids grow up over the years. He's sorta laid back and comes in with his “children” need him. At the beginning of the book Boo has already been characterized as someone he's not. More towards the middle he starts to show up more but still is out of everyone's way.
When he was a teenager him and his friends would drink, get in trouble, and more, but nobody had the nerve to tell Mr. Radley that his son was in with the wrong crowd, because he was not the socializing type either. He was in this gang with his friends that’s how they got away with a lot of crimes because everyone was scared of them. The whole family is pretty much on lockdown, no one ever sees them and if they did not like they would want to talk to that family anyways, because everyone was scared of them. The kids are scared of Boo because the house looks really mysterious; the doors are always shut, even on Sundays when everyone else’s doors and windows are open. They are also cared of the way he looks and all the stuff they suspect he does, like they think that he looks in other people’s windows at night but they do not know for sure.
R- he’s stabbed his dad G- This is why I believe the kids won’t meet Boo In the book I don’t believe the kids will meet Boo for two reasons. The first reason is the Boo has not been seen. We know this because he and
Later in the book we find out this fear that the reader, the town, and even Jem and Scout had about Boo was not what we all have imagined, we thought Boo was going to be some dark cave man guy but he turns out to be a very kind man that just wanted to play and enjoy life, but he was locked up in his own house for so many years. If we were to look at all of this from a different angle let’s say that the Radley house was pink with a lot of lovely, incredible flowers outlining the upright porch. Every day the sun would shine through the oak tree and hit the house at the perfect angle, and what if the book said the house seemed to be cozy and warm. Most of us would picture a peaceful man living life to the fullest.
Throughout the novel, the children befriend Boo Radley, since he is a shut in and many children of the neighborhood are quite curious as to what he does inside all of the time. Boo and Scout came specifically close, him giving her a blanket when Maudie Atkinson’s house burned down and at the climax point when he makes his initial known physical appearance as he saves Scout and Jem when Bob Ewell attacks them. After the Tom Robinson trial, Jem and Scout are finally starting to see from his perspective as Jem says “Scout, I think I'm beginning to understand something. I think I'm beginning to understand why Boo Radley's stayed shut up in the house all this time... it's because he wants to stay inside.
There is another factor that may contribute to why the kids are hesitant to see Boo; they are quite frightened of him. Evidence of this, is every time they have to go past the Radley residence, their first instinct is to run. Though, this does not, occur when they are together, the siblings still feel anxious around the house. Secondly, the stories and accusations of Boo have caused the children to become intimidated of him. Several Maycomb residents have recalled seeing him in the dead of night, staring straight at their home among other possessions.
He has not been seen since he was very little. Boo Radley rarely goes outside. If he does, it is when it is dark outside and no one can see him. He shuts the door and blinds on Sunday, so no one can talk to him after church. All the kids in Maycomb county are very scared
He could be locked up maybe because of when he stabbed his dad with a scissors. Its said that his father walked into the room while Boo was cutting things, and when his dad came by he stabbed him and just wiped the blood off the scissors and moved on with life. The sheriff wouldn’t put him into the jail with the negroes, so he got locked in the courthouse basement. The kids may also not meet Boo because they are afraid of him. They could be afraid of him because they always hear many stories about his house.

This selfless act exposes the depth of Boo's character, challenging the assumptions made about him by
To the children, so much as entering the front yard of the Radley house is a terrifying feat. At this time, the children do not understand Boo’s situation, as they have yet to meet him and know little about him apart from the stories. In the end, the children learn that Boo has been watching them all along and has even been a helpful presence in their lives. He was the one who left gifts in the tree outside the Radley yard for Scout and Jem, and he gave Scout a blanket during the fire. More importantly, however, Boo was the mysterious figure who saved the Finch children from Bob Ewell’s attack.
