[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 549423, member: 84"] Dcgirlia, Welcome :) That situation for me, would be cut and dry. I have my limits and stealing is a line my kids not dare to cross. I'd have pressed charges. Many parents here have been forced to do so, it's certainly a very hard thing to do, and it can take a while for a parent to reach that point. Living in a small town wouldn't influence my decision. (and we do happen to live in a small town) I taught my kids "If you do the crime you'd better be prepared to do the time". Mom would never raise bail money either. You have to stop and think about it this way, they targeted you for their crime (and it IS a crime) because they don't believe for a moment you'd press charges........so you're a safe target. But that is why setting up your own boundaries and making a thought out plan you can live with when they get crossed is important. Instead of just reacting, you take thought out steps instead. Hugs [/QUOTE]
