[QUOTE="KFld, post: 36086, member: 2442"] Unless he decides to come clean and hasn't spent the money yet, you are probably right that you can kiss the money goodbye. Between the few forged checks my son stole from me, it probably pretty much amounted to the same as what your son stole from you. The reason I didn't report my son was because he was already in the court system and was waiting for placement in a long term drug and alcohol rehab. that he had agreed upon as part of his probation. We already knew he was a heroin addict, he already admitted to it and was going for help, so we felt that if we report him, he most likely would have been sent to jail instead of the drug rehab, which was not what he needed at the time. We knew why he was stealing, though it didn't make it right in any way. I wouldn't second guess what you are going to school for. If that is what you are truly interested in doing, then go for it. I have a feeling anyone in that profession would deal with things differently when it came to dealing with their own child vs. someone else. It's like a doctor trying to operate on their own child. That is why they don't do it. You have a totally different perspective on what is going on and how to handle it. Glad to hear the locksmith is on it's way out. Does your son have any idea you are chaning the locks or will you let him be surprised?? I think I would go for the surprise tactic. I didn't tell my son, then one day he came over and he noticed the different doorknobs and he said, what did you do, change the locks? I just simply replied, yes, and continued in the door. He never said another word. He didn't have to ask why???? Please keep us posted. Glad you found us. [/QUOTE]
