Elyse Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 I'm assuming you've given them a talking to? Try to explain that, when they steal money from you, then you have less money to buy food and toys, etc for them. They'll understand.

Andy Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 How far is it ? They live in Northamptonshire. Probably about 3-31/2 hours drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunc Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 They live in Northamptonshire. Probably about 3-31/2 hours drive. Not from me you clown Ring 101 and ask for a community police officer to call :wacko: Ignoring it hoping it might go away by doing nothing might be costly for you and IMO cruel to the child Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lebe03 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 My Ex's daughter was stealing money from her mum and even when caught red handed she did nothing other than send her to her room. A few weeks later she made the mistake of stealing money from me and I insisted my ex contact the Police or I would. She did call the Police and they called round and gave her a stern talking to which had the desired effect of no more stealing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterchillz Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Hopefully they'll send the guy who's about 6 foot 10 and big as an outhouse. Not the pretty blonde on a bicycle If they don't send that guy I'll start stealing too! Jokes aside, a stern talk should fix that, I remember (shame on me) I stole money from my aunt once to buy a truck toy. Dad figured it out, broke the toy and had a pretty nice discussion with me. Didn't steal anything since then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeonah Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Louise, you are doing totally the right thing. My son got caught stealing by Lyn from the shop across the road. Bearing in mind that my Mrs grew up with Hells Angels you can imagine the temper she has and she beat the living daylights out of him, I had to step in stop her, but he never did it again. Those were the days when you were aloud to chastise a child without fear of ending up in court. These days your not aloud to do that, you have to pussy-foot around them for fear you may end up in prison. In my opinion a good slap never hurt anyone. Bring back the good old days. As far as the law allows these days your doing the best you can lets just hope it works. Gary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahjng Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Kids are horrible ( the bullies, not yours) and I know the old saying is school days are the best, but not for everyone. Let's hope the school deal with it properly, good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
