So I posted about my fudgeing son the other day who has a issue at work

And after days of teasing it out of him he has admitted he was involved 🤬

He said he had allowed the person in question to use the vouchers at his till not knowingly at first but then knowingly

He said he never had the voucher himself

Just glad he finally came clean

One of the other boys their are 11 of them all in the frame for this had his meeting yesterday confessed all and is having dissapliry on Friday to be sacked no dobut

My son is already appyfor another job and hopefully he has learned his chuffing lesson I told him sometimes you need to have courage enough to stand up for your future

Why would he allow someone to commit fraud with no gain to himself guess he thought no one would care 🤭🙄 and going along with the others

"Rather than him being 25 or something the young make mistakes."

Confused This really isn't going to help him. Do 18-25 year olds get barred from positions of responsibility in case they decide to do something reprehensible, because they are youthful? No. They are considered equal to their over 25 peers and hold the same positions. Should we say 'no money handling in case you 'decide to be silly and steal''? Of course not. He hasn't been 'silly'. He's done something very, very wrong. I'm sure that when it comes out in the wash, the peer pressure will be a factor, and the likelihood of him doing this on his own is far, far lower, but that is a lesson for him in building his character, so he can make his own decisions and stand against a crowd.

One thing I drum into my children, who are 12,10 and 9, is "be your own person", "make your own choice". If they blame someone else for something they're in trouble for, I say "You had a choice. You could have said no. You made a decision. Nobody made you." I'm not suggesting for one minute that I won't be in your position in a few years time - kids are kids, they make choices that we wish they wouldn't, and they wish they hadn't! But I do think we need to teach children to own their decisions and choices, rather than passively blaming everyone and everything for them.
