[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 752144, member: 23706"] Are you getting her psychiatric help? To me, at her age, that would be more important than the police. I assume she has had a lot of psychiatric help. I would keep this up. Maybe see if there is additional help. Some people here mention art or dance therapy or equine therapy. I would not quit any help she is already getting but I would definitely add to it. Does she do anything really well or have a hobby? Maybe you can have her volunteer to maybe teach her more compassion. I wish I had thought of these things back then. My daughter lacks the ability to feel for other people. I feel maybe we could have changed this a little if we had known more. My daughter is adopted and obviously has problems. She stole but not until she started taking drugs. I think you need to make sure that your daughter realizes that this is a big deal, but in my opinion I would not involve the police. I think a better idea is to not let her have a phone and need to work off, in some way, the cost of the phone. This is really.hard. Adopted kids can suffer much trauma from before we met them. Some were exposed to substances before birth too. It is hard. God bless you. [/QUOTE]
