[QUOTE="Malika, post: 445055, member: 11227"] Well, now, in one way I agree with everyone who has posted and underlined the seriousness or potential seriousness of this and has urged that the goods be returned, the shop alerted, etc. It is what I did with J when he was about three and came out of a sweetshop beaming with a bar of chocolate he had "found"... At the same time, shoplifting is such a standard teenage phenomenon. When I was about 13, and at an exclusive private girls' school (girls from wealthy homes with few social or other problems), a small band of us had a shoplifting phase. No-one ever found out and it did not last long. I vaguely remember the thrill of crossing the boundaries in that way. And I have (of course) never stolen from shops since and would not dream of doing so now. So... I feel you can take this with something of a pinch of salt. Of course take it seriously. But it doesn't necessarily mean your son is a future thief. [/QUOTE]
