[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 590058, member: 1514"] I read your post but I didnt read the other posters replies because I felt I needed to reply to you without anything blurring my thoughts. I think you need to press charges on the theft of your funds...I take it they were done on a credit card. Let the credit card company go after him for fraud or whatever it is. You say your son is 21. He knows right from wrong. I can tell you this because I did what Im telling you to do at the exact same age to my son. My son stole my checkbook and forged $1500 in checks from me. I had him arrested and because he did it in 3 separate checks, he got 3 separate felonies. The fact that I charged him and he got convicted put a stop on his downslide. I think I saved his life to be frank. He would probably be in prison today for heaven only knows what. Instead he is on the adventure of a lifetime with a really great job he managed to land. He pulled himself back up after several really miserable years. Now he is the happiest young man around. We are so proud of the changes he made in himself. We had to stop him. You have the power to stop your son. He may not like you right then but he will know you did what you had to do. My son will tell anyone that we did the right thing in charging him. He wishes we hadnt had to but he knows he did the wrong thing in stealing from us. [/QUOTE]
