[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 76548, member: 84"] Oh, my! What a scare!! Travis got the brilliant idea to take my rent money out of my purse to "show off" to his classmates when he was in the 2nd grade. Fortunately teacher caught him and the several hundred dollars was taken for safe keeping to the Principal's office. They spent the day trying to reach me. husband and I were grocery shopping so didn't catch their call til about 1pm. I was shocked and livid. I told principal I was going to pick both Travis and easy child up early, I had a surprise in store for him. I said nothing when husband and I picked him up. We simply drove straight to the police station. Travis confessed and started bawling as his complexion suddenly turned various shades of grey. I took him inside. The officer's according to prior notification and arranged by me, went thru a very convincing and rough mock arrest. They played it to the hilt, even putting him in an empty cell and locking the door. While locked in the cell the officers explained the seriousness of what he had done and what happens to people who steal, even kids. Never had another incident like it again. [img]:grin:[/img] But I knew with him it had to be something with more impact than a normal type punishment to get the idea to stick and stay stuck. If you call your police dept, chances are they'll find a way to help you get the lesson to stick. They are usually very cooperative. Hugs [/QUOTE]
