[QUOTE="troubled, post: 451609"] I was going to prosecute my difficult child at age 10! That was exactly what the therapist told me I should do about difficult child stealing. She began stealing from relatives and would not stop. I took her down to the police station and she sat there boldly stone faced while an officer yelled at her. I thought that was enough so I dropped charges. So later on, she ends up in jail for guess what? Stealing from someone at a homeless shelter. She claimed innocent but no one believed her because of her past habits of stealing and lying. I know for a fact she still is determined to get what she wants without working for it so I would not be surprised if she stole again - and ended up in jail again. I TOLD her when she was 10 that she would end up in jail if she continued to steal but did it do any good? Nope. I lived behind locked doors for the last 10 years until I evicted her. She hasn't changed and maybe never will. I did her no favors by letting her off easy when she was 10. She blames her problems on me and everyone else anyway but we all know why she doesn't have the money to buy what she wants. She doesn't want to work and earn things honestly. [/QUOTE]
