What to do about my daughter?!

Question

My daughter and I went to AJ Wright to look at clothes for school .. she didn't find anything she wanted (or so I thought). We got back out of the car and I notice her shirt is stuffed .. she lifts it up and a two piece angelletto comes out .. she stole it from the store apparently. How should I deal with this?!

Answer 1

You should march her back to the store, make her apologize and return the items. Then explain the consequences if she gets caught by security next time.

You may also want to ask her why she did it? You were there to buy her what she needed. There is no need to steal etc.

Answer 2

You really have to ask people what to do? obviosuly you should teach your kidd stealing is wrong. haha.  

Answer 3

Hide things in her room that say stealing is wrong, you could go to prison, taking something without permission and not paying is stealing. Guilt her into taking them back.  

Answer 4

Take her and the outfit back to the store, and hand it over.  She needs to learn firsthand the consequences of her actions

Answer 5

turn her in. you need to teach her shop lifting it wrong. make her re turn it then take everything out of her room but her mattress two pillows and a comforter

Answer 6

I would make her take it back to the store! My sister stole something once and my mom made her take it back up there and pay for it! Then my step sister stole something once and she got Arrested! I would make her take it back, have a talk with her about stealing and ground her butt!

Answer 7

Make her take it back and face the consequences...the store's and your own.  

Answer 8

She must return it to the store. Do not buy it for her. Do not let her keep it. There will be no legal consequences (store-wise) for her returning it.

Answer 9

You should have gone right back into the store and given it back! You should take her back there and have her explain to the store that what she did was wrong. And don't take her to get clothes for school now at such an expensive place. Good luck

Answer 10

Make her return it

I know it'll be hard making her do that

but I honestly think that's the only way she'll learn

Just go up to her and tell her that you're taking her to AJ Wright, and when she seems about ready to go, just tell her "oh, and bring that two-pc angelleto you stole"

be stern, don't listen to her protest

just tell her to get it while you wait in the car

then take her to the store and make her return it, personally

try to not yell

but also don't be too nice to her

she has to know just how serious this is

and once you get home, just talk to her

ask her why she did it

(and don't take shrugs or "i dunno" for an answer)

and then well, handle the rest however you want, i guess

you can punish her, maybe take away the computer/tv/music/phone for a month

Answer 11

make her mail it in. do it together. since you were willing to buy whatever she wanted, i figure she did it for the thrill of it instead ofthe need for it.  talk to her about what could happen if she gets caught. put her on punishment too.

i would tell you to make her return it but that would cause a bigger problem.  

Answer 12

qround her for as lonq as yuh wnt

and donate the clothes

Answer 13

Make her take it back and then give her a good spanking.

Answer 14

(1) She takes it back to the store and faces any consquences the store hands out.  She might be barred from the store or they might press shoplifting charges.

(2) No shopping for school clothes this year.

(3)  She donates her favorite outfit to a local charity.

(4) You investigate with her the causes of her need to shoplift.

Answer 15

Make her take it back in the store and apologize to the store manager,

don't let her wear them,

take them away.

Answer 16

I hope you made her take it back-if not you are teaching her that stealing is ok.

You better get on her now about this or it will become a bigger problem quickly

Answer 17

Just like all your strict rules... 'sexpert86'?

Answer 18

make her donate it then ground her

Answer 19

I believe you posted a question before saying that you do not allow angellettos whatever the h**l those even are. You have a lot of random wierd questions that I am starting to not believe.  

Answer 20

you should confront your daughter that stealing is wrong and maybe a punishment will be good as well

Answer 21

Make her go to the manager and turn it in and tell her to apologize and talk to her about stealing and why is she stealing if you have money to buy her the things she wants. If she does it again, i would take more severe action.
