atticuss role in Jem and Scouts relationship with boo is that he is trying to stop them from making things up about boo and to leave him alone.
Boo Radley Game:))
Atticus Finch scolds the kids for making fun of Boo Radley in Chapter 6 of "To Kill a Mockingbird." This occurs after the children enact a small play reenacting Boo's rumored life and the moment is a pivotal one in shaping their understanding of empathy and perspective.
Boo Radley saved the children from Bob Ewell. Atticus thanks Boo because if Boo hadn't stepped in to stop Bob Ewell, the children probably would have been killed. Atticus is thanking Boo Radley for keeping his children alive. At least, that's how I see it :)
Atticus thanks Boo for saving his children from Mr. Ewell.
In chapter 8 Atticus learns about Jem and Scout communicating with Boo Radley through the knothole. Atticus tells the children not to tell anyone that they had seen and been in contact with boo.
Atticus found out about the children's game involving Boo Radley when Heck Tate mentioned it during Tom Robinson's trial. Tate revealed that he had asked Atticus not to tell the children about Mr. Radley's courage in saving them from Bob Ewell, as it might prompt them to reenact the story. This indicated to Atticus that the children had indeed been playing a game about Boo Radley.
why do you think jem confessed to atticus about the childrens activites regarding boo radley
They show us that Boo wants to murder the kids, because he left a bomb, a knife, a jar of blood, and a gun. SPOILER ALERT, HE KILLS JEM AND SCOUT AND ATTICUS
He finds them playing "the Boo Radley game" and also trying to stick a note to the window of the Radley house.
Atticus teaches his children to have empathy and understanding for others, yet he acts differently towards their neighbor, Boo Radley, by not considering things from Boo's perspective. This can be seen as a form of hypocrisy, as he preaches one thing to his children but doesn't fully practice it himself in this instance.
Boo Radley killed Bob Ewell because Bob was trying to kill Jem and Scout. At first, Atticus believes Jem did it. Heck Tate insists that they claim Bob Ewell fell on his knife. Atticus thinks Heck is protecting Jem and he does not want to cover up what he thinks happened. When he finally understands that Boo did it he agrees to the lie.
He wants to protect Boo Radley from all the town gossip. he also wants to protect boo from getting punished by his brother
