[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 84255, member: 3419"] I would not call the guidance counselor. I'd keep it between you and the other mom or grandmother. Also, since I don't know all the background with-this girl, I would try not to scare her too much ... you don't want her not trusting any adult at all. Kids do dumb things. They have no idea of the value of money (they just know what they think is a lot, and a lot of fun!) I don't know if I'd even tell her that if she won't let you talk to them, that I'd drive over. It sounds like a threat. Maybe you want it to sound like a threat, but I think driving over with-o warning is a better bet. My only experience with-this was when my son was in 2nd gr and a 5th grader coerced him into giving him $20 for a candy bar. Up to that point, I had noticed ones, fives, and tens occasionally missing but didn't worry too much--you know how it is when you get busy--and apparently difficult child had been taking $ from my purse and giving it to this kid, in exchange for candy. I can only hope it was once or twice and not weeks! I told the teacher, and said I couldn't recall the name of the kid, but she knew immediately who it was and she put it to a stop. (Funny, how teachers know these things! [img]:smile:[/img] ) Good luck. I'm sure you'll get it cleared up. [/QUOTE]
