[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 244322, member: 6546"] Hello-- Our policy on harming another person's property--whether by stealing it, breaking it, losing it, etc...is restitution. The child must restore what they have taken from the other person PLUS return it with a bonus (eg, if you took someone's candy bar you must give them back [I]two[/I] candy bars)....and the child must earn the money to pay for the replacement items by doing extra chores. Additionally, if the person's property was harmed on purpose (such as stealing)--then the returned items must be accompanied by a nice, long handwritten letter of apology. This may not stop the stealing altogether--but if the child knows that there is this much work involved...they may "think twice" before stealing again. Best of luck! --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
