[QUOTE="dcgirlla, post: 549401, member: 15168"] Wow, this sounds so much like the situation I am in now. I too, looked up son stealing and thank God I came across this site. My son took my ATM card about a month ago and took out several hundred dollars. When I found out a few days later, he apologized and said he had to pay a ticket. Whatever.. I told him he would have to find another place to stay because he wasn't staying here anymore. He had just gotten out of drug rehab several months back and had stopped going to recovery meetings. One of the written rules was that he would go to the meetings 3 nights a week. Long story, short he moved in with his sister. He helps to watch her kids and has a few side jobs while he is waiting to start school. Friday was my birthday, my daughter invites me over to eat and at some point he takes my ATM card and I find out the next day that he had taken out 200 dollars. I denied it, denied it, denied it. I went ahead and filed a police report so that the video footage could be looked at. The bank had told me what time the money was taken out. So today my son texted me and admitted he was the one who took it out. I feel like I should press charges, but it makes me physically ill. His name and the charges will be printed in our local paper. We live in a fairly small town. I know he needs to bear the consequences of his bad behavior. Any thoughts, comments, encouragement? My husband died 4 years ago so makes it even harder, I feel so alone. [/QUOTE]
