We have removed all tech, stopped all extra curricular activities except cadets, stopped pocket money until she pays people back...
what more can we do?
She has taken her siblings pocket and birthday money, her other sisters clothes, jewellery, she hoards food and has taken an item from a person at school.
Her gp has suggested Dissasociative Disorder so school haven't suspended her under the equality act.
What more can we do? We have counselling scheduled. Please can anyone suggest any consequences? She has been spoken to by a police officer but to no avail .....

Is the suggestion from the GP just in relation to the stealing or are there other indications of DID?

Have you asked her why she's doing it?
Does she understand its wrongs.

With the information we have it's really hard to make suggestion, she could have a valid medical/mental health issue or she could just be stealing because she wants those things, or wants the attention, or because of peer pressure.......

She had a trauma last year - my cancer and her epilepsy. She lies as well.

Have you asked her why she's doing it?
So often - she can't or won't say.
Does she understand its wrongs.
She has too. We've told her as have the teachers.

This is my problem, she might not be able to help it, but she might. And we need to do something. If she doesn't have DID then she is getting away with it....
