Caught my 11yo shoplifting
It was 2 weeks ago saturday. I let my 14 and 11 yo girls go with 4 other older friends to Six Flags. We gave them $40 each and would pick them up later. My oldest and my neighbor girl were riding rides like they should have been. They trusted my youngst daughter kelsey and her frind with two of the older girls. They 2 older teenagers told the younger two they were gonna go jack some stuff. So they thought it would be cool and not get caught. But they did get caught and called the parents. We were escorted in and out. We had to sign paperwork and pay a fine of $100 for each kid involved. They are banned for a year and a day. I was so mad I wanted to take her to juvinile hall to sit for a couple days to see what would happen to her the next time. Six Flags didnt want to press charges. So her summer is now over. NO more swimming, spending the night at friends, nothing. She is grounded till school starts. She will be working around the house and for her gramma and doing community service where ever I can find for her. She wants to steal then she can learn what it takes to earn money for things she wants to steal and pay me back what it cost mne in gas, the money I gave her to go and the $100 fine I had to pay. She owes me about $200. Its been 2 weeks now and my blood still boils just thinking about it. Ive been to jail. I know what its like. I thought she would have learned from me.
I am truely dissapointed in her. She lacks for nothing. I cant understand why she did this. She also got caught stealing my cigarettes and she was sneaking out of my house to go with my neighbor girls down to the lake below my house. I learned all this in just 2 days. The 2 older girls she was with have been banned from my house. I thought having them around my family and kids would give them a good example. We loved them and would do anything for them as if they were our own.
Anyone have any suggestions on what more I can do?
