[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 360010, member: 1233"] get a drug test and make her do it or take her to the pediatrician and make them drug test her. Check to see if there are any suspicious charges on the debit card and call the bank. Have school call the police or have the school resource officer arrest her (our resource officers are police officers who are stationed in the schools to do this kind of thing). talk to the therapist/psychiatrist to see what they say. Remove as many privileges and non-basic possessions as you can. I would take all her electronics - phone, mp3 player, any stereo she may have, tv, computer, ALL of it would go for my child. Is she stealing from stores that you have caught yet? My son did that. Twice. Once was from a dollar store in a city over an hour away where we stopped after I had an appointment in town. husband drove him back to the store to return it, pay for it, and take whatever consequences they wanted to give. The manager is an idiot because even though they have signs posted that shoplifting will be prosecuted, she kept trying to process a return and give them money. We were not amused with her. The second time was from a used bookstore that I LOVE. My fave bookstore in the WORLD. I was embarrassed and LIVID! This time I drove him down. We went in and I made HIM tell them what he did. The lady who talked to him is amazing. She used to be a biker, helped her SO raise his boys, has seen and handled everything. She actually made an impact with him. I rose to from good customer to preferred customer. The story of me marching him in is now almost a legend there. They deal with a lot of shoplifting because people think because it is used that no one gets hurt. Apparently many parents get angry with them when their little darlings are caught stealing. Even if darling is a teenager. Make her face the music. If she steals from you then YOU need to press charges. This is so hard to deal with. I am sorry. [/QUOTE]
