[QUOTE="hamlet, post: 449989, member: 11970"] It was difficult for difficult child, but a necessary lesson. I confronted him about the ipod, and as I expected he denied any knowledge of it. I simply stated that Jack, Jack's mom and I all knew what had happened. difficult child's response? "Leave me alone!" He returned the ipod and Jack was angry for about 12 hours. This morning difficult child wrote a written apology and delivered it, and Jack forgave him. Jack's family appears to have forgiven as well. difficult child lost his wii and computer privileges for a week. He earned a few extra days by cursing at me and threatening violence. I did not take the step of involving the police because I want to find out anonymously first what their policy is on something like this. In my experience there's always some small print, a record that gets made, a hidden agenda or some other surprise that comes with making a request like this of authorities. Thanks for the replies. It was very helpful to have a plan ahead of time. I stayed calm throughout, which was a great thing. [/QUOTE]
