Answer 1

Have we all Lost our kids, to these Dark Days...? It should not be this way... But, We can't do them any good, just being a willing or forgiving Victim, when they are that Wrong... Yes, the Authorities Must handle someone who is (probably) Asking for It. I have struggled with this too. Pray for them, Pray for You... My best Advice is - Love them, don't abandon them, But don't allow them to Step all over You, because that's not the Way to teach them, or Reach Them... (This One has a Long Road of Darkness Ahead...Protect yourselves - don't let Darkness Pull you down, along with those who are Drowning...)

Answer 2

I know it would be a hard thing to do but I think she should.It might teach her a lesson.How old is she?

Answer 3

to me this is not acceptable, yes she should be in jail

Answer 4

I would give her the option of returning it and not associating with her until she straightens up, or tell her you will call the cops.

Answer 5

In a New York minute!

Answer 6

Of course she should be in jail!  She committed a crime and needs to pay the price.  If she isn't placed in jail then she knows that your family is a bunch of pushovers and you can't act shocked when other things go missing.  Punish her now and move quick.  Perhaps prison will help teach her the way towards responsibility.

Answer 7

Why did your granddaughter have $1300 on her person.  Either way she need some discipline and seeing how you daughter can't do it then may be a couple of months at a juvenile jail would do the trick.
