[QUOTE="Fearofsuccess, post: 750007, member: 22905"] Hi Lady Bear! I don't post a lot but I read a lot. The boards helped me as we dealt with teens/young adults. My daughter did a dumb thing by finding a wallet and using the card in it to buy a pizza....and have it delivered....to the same place she found the wallet. SMH. They were not going to press charges but she kept the gift cards from the wallet claiming she wanted to return them herself (she wanted the drama) , but when they found those gone they did press charges. The worst part was she JUST turned 18. SHE had to pay for an attorney herself who was able to meet the charges with diversion and then expungement later. The reality is that she was, and still is to some extent, very immature. She is now 20 and has come a long way in just 2 years. Your boy is only 16. My family doctor says kids are dumb from 15-25. Maybe he's right. Really at this point, this sounds like a one time incident. If indeed he is remorseful perhaps he truly is needing just some support and attention. This will become evident as the months and years go by. Have you considered a counselor that he and also you at times can go to? It can be so beneficial to be able to talk to a neutral third party who he will see is on HIS side. (Kind of like this group for us.) Blessings to you both. :notalone: [/QUOTE]
