[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 185036, member: 3626"] I'd suggest you make an appointment to meet with either an officer or juvenile lead at your police department. Give them your son's background, a hypothetical of IF he were to break into someone's home, etc. and see what they would do in such a situation. I did this when my daughter went through her stealing stage. They really did try to work with me and help her. Sadly, nothing they did worked (including putting her in a holding cell for 3 hours). She just kind of outgrew it around 14 or 15. He might actually be taking more in than your think. Again, mine would react like yours -- deny even with the evidence laid out in front of her, accept the consequences and then just go about doing whatever she was doing previously as if nothing had happened. It took her turning into an adult before she told me that she was truly heartsick inside but just didn't want to show the world she was guilty. I wish we all had neighbors like yours. A little carng and understanding by those around us makes a huge difference. I would try to get the undies back and return them to her. She may not have the "oogie" factor going. I would if I thought he had worn them or something but if he just took them, there wouldn't be the yuck when I put them on. No matter what, a gift certificate would be a nice gesture. I'm with the others. You truly are doing a super job with a very difficult situation. I hope you get some answers and some way to get through to him. [/QUOTE]
