[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 185096, member: 1550"] Did you son have proper, horrified reaction, Terry? Did he cry? Did he seem to know why he was in trouble? Do you think this acted as a deterrent? My son was caught shoplifting once and they called the police, and in our small town it is a man he knows VERY well. He bawled like a baby, but he went back to the store and shoplifted again afterwards, so it didn't have the proper effect. Fortunately, due to this being such a small town, and the cop being almost a personal friend and knowing our family so well, no further action was taken. He was banned from our local service station, and, to my knowledge, he has not shoplifted again. If he has, he has not been caught. I loathe CPS, but, as you have read, not everyone does. Have your ducks in a row for CPS. They can be helpful, but (not going to sugarcoat it) they can be scary too. It's best not to sound defensive and to be cooperative, even if you are seething inside. (((More hugs))) [/QUOTE]
