[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 444598, member: 1550"] Well, I have a son who is also very young for his eighteen years and was young for his years at about twelve. In his case, when he shoplifted, it was taken out of my hands. He has a problem with chronic eating and he stole a bag of potato chips. He stepped outside. Then he had second thoughts, came back in and put it back. One of the employees at the gas station saw that he had stepped outside with the chips without paying so he told the owner. The owner, who knew he was on the spectrum, called the police THEN called us to tell us. Son cried like a two year old child,b ut the cop was firm and unsympathetic and told me t hat, whatever he has, he has to follow the law. I believe in being proactive because these things are not always in our hands. My son DID have the bejeezus scared out of him. Even though he was putting the chips back, the cop cornered him and told him he was NOT TO take anything out of the store before he paid for it or that was stealing. Our kids have to live within the rules of society. If they break the law, unless they are insane, they will not be coddled by the justice system. [/QUOTE]
