Handling theft and relationships!!  Reply with quote  

Hi All,

Here's kind of weird scenario.
This is about one of my relative's. She is a teenager who stays near by our house. Whenever she would come to our place, we would often find some money lost. Though we knew that this could be her hands, but we had no evidence to tell this to her parents. moreover she had done a suicide attempt before which doesn't help us gather the courage to do that.
However, today they had a guest visiting her place, who has lost a good amount of money when he was in their house. he bought this into my attention, however, he didnot either tell this matter to her parents for the same reason as we do.
Now that most us(in our family) know whats happening, we dont know if we should put this issue across to her parents, and if we should, how would that be?(which I dont think is the right solution)! and if not what else could/should be done?
Advices/Suggestions please..!

Thanks,
Harry

I think you should confront her parents about this. It is likely she has taken money from them as well. More important, why does she need to steal money and where is it going are important questions.

Suicide is never caused one factor or even twenty. It is the sum of the person's experiences that bring them to that point.

From my experience in Probation and Parole, I know there is a close association between depression and stealing. Please search The Hypoglycemic Web Site for shoplifting.

Most compulsive stealers (kleptomania) start off in the home and branch out to their neighbours and friends. To treat the condition one needs to treat the depression.

Smile The first and the foremost thing is dat tok her parents abt dis cos nw its in the case of money but wen she grow her habit will also grow into a big thing and ask her parents to tok to her patiently and give watever she is in need of ........... and console her by saying the after effect of stealing things frm oters Embarassed [/quote][/i]
