[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 708750, member: 18958"] I agree with Lil's option to call the bank (and credit reporting agencies while you're at it) to report the checks were stolen and that there are more out there. The account has to be closed. They can do this immediately. Recently I had to do this with 2 credit cards, and they change a digit right now and that means the existing checks/cards cannot be used from that moment on. I agree with this too. You do not know it was him. Now the thing is this: Nobody can judge you or will. The purpose of this forum as I see it is to find the wherewithal to protect ourselves and be effective with our children.' To overlook a crime of this magnitude would hurt your son. This is what it would teach him: that you are his mark, and so is everybody else. That he can get away with anything he wants. That there are no consequences to actions. That there is no incentive to change, because there are no costs to bad behavior. If you call the bank to tell them the checkbook was stolen and the funds stolen, it is quite possible that all of the money will be replaced. (This happened to me on two occasions--and I got the money back.) You would not be calling the police on your son, you would be reporting an objective occurrence. You would be telling the truth as you know it. The bank will likely ask you to file a police report. I agree with Lil. You do not know with certitude that your son took the checks. You may suspect and fear, but you do not know. Reporting a crime is not the same as accusing a single person. I am very sorry this happened. [/QUOTE]
