[QUOTE="StillStanding, post: 718641, member: 21300"] I thought I would share a different perspective with you. My son has stolen from me in the past. I made a firm decision that I would not report him to the police. He does not have a record and I would not be involved in him getting one. I met with a lot of disagreement about this decision (including on this forum), but, I do not regret it and I am not resentful or angry about it anymore. My son is sick. And, my boundaries are real. I would not have contact with him if he were abusive in any way. He isn't. I most definitely have taken precautions to ensure he doesn't have access to my valuables anymore. Do I worry that he didn't face the consequences of his actions? No, my son faces painful consequences everyday. I have only 1 very dear friend that I share my family story with. How lucky that your friend has you. I know you want to protect her. My advice... just be there for her without judgement. Good luck to your friend and her troubled family. [/QUOTE]
