[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 535106, member: 1514"] Malika I think now is the most important time to really start pushing the time about stealing because he is 15. At 15, he is still a juvenile and would be dealt with accordingly through the courts if caught but very soon it wouldnt be and he would be dealt with as an adult. If he were in NC, at 16 he would be tried as an adult and have an adult record for theft if he stole something. If he steals from a friends parent, they very well could call the police. I would. Terry, I have a suggestion. Why dont you go in and "steal" something that is important to him. Dont tell him you did it. Act shocked and dont give it back. Let him feel the impact of what it feels like for something of his to get stolen. Sometimes that is the only way to get through to them what it feels like to have a crime happen. [/QUOTE]
