[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 448288, member: 84"] ((hugs)) Kathy Nice to see you here again, just wish it was better circumstances. A felony is a serious deal. But on the other hand, so is what she did. It's not the amount of money, it's the act itself. And you've yet to know if she actually used those other checks. I'd be searching her things to be certain she doesn't still have them to use at a later date. I understand you wanting to help her, I really really do. But on the other hand, I don't see where she's "getting it" at all while you're helping her. It's like most of it is zipping right over her head, and she's still believing she's just a kid (on one level) and can do as she pleases with your stuff. You're stuck in a tough situation. For me, it wouldn't be tough. Her butt would be sitting in a jail cell. At 26 there is no doubt she knew what she did was serious, yet she did it anyway believing as she did you would not press charges against her. At some point you've got to decide when enough is enough. Given her track record, do you honestly think that if you don't press charges, you give her rent money ect that she'll stick with this job? Will it be worth the loss of a natural consequence for her actions? And what will you do the next time she forges a check from you? Because it will happen again, eventually. Those are what I see you need to think about. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
