[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 538793, member: 14557"] Here is a problem. Stealing from friends in fact was [B]more[/B] difficult for difficult child than shoplifting. If it was other way around, I wouldn't wonder. But stealing from friends needed planning (he just didn't take only when he had an opportunity, he planned and manipulated to have an opportunity) and he wasn't always able to do it when he wanted. And he also knew the consequences of shoplifting (minimal, just a small fine, you have to literally kill someone to end up jail here especially if you are under 18) and had to have inkling of the consequences of stealing from team mates (huge, got him kicked out of team, had to move out of home, reputation in ruins, huge setback to his career, could had been end of it etc.) His team mates indeed didn't press charges, like asked by their team and me and my husband, not because anyone wanted difficult child to get out of it easy, but because no one wanted to give difficult child an idea that this is some trivial little thing that you get 100 dollars worth of fines for and that is it. We wanted this to be huge thing for him, but our justice system certainly doesn't think so. [/QUOTE]
