[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 390992, member: 1157"] I know this is difficult, but I really think you ought to consider contacting the police about the thefts. It's also really important that you be prepared to follow through on threats to throw her out, because honestly, you lose credibility by catching up to her 2 blocks away and letting her come back. In the meantime, I suggest you lock up your valuables if you choose to let her stay in your home. Sometimes our difficult children need stiff consequences for their actions, in order to be spurred to change their behavior. It's never easy as a parent to turn in your own child, but I really don't think we do them any favors by excusing illegal behavior in our homes. [/QUOTE]
