So my dc came home today and said he'd stollen something from a supermarket worth £2... He said he'd been dared to, or he would get beaten up. When he had got to school he realised it was wrong
He sat in tutor and wrote an apology letter and stating he would take the money tomorrow to pay for it.
He told his head of year.. He'd said he got rid of the item in fear he'd get caught.
She agreed not to ring me until he'd returned to the store with his letter and had time to come and tell me himself.
He got home and told me straight away what he'd done, reason why and that he'd taken a letter to the security guard.
The security guard aparantly had thanked him for his honesty and said not to worry about the money.
I missed the call from his teacher :/ ill call back in the morning as she didn't call until 5pm and no reception staff to call back to
So.. He knows I'm angry at what he's done. But not as much Because off his own back he wrote the letter and admitted to teacher and I'm glad he saw the error of his ways
I regularly shop in that store, maybe 3-4 times a week, and they would recognise him as my son.
Tomorrow I am going to go in when he's at school and find out what happened exxctly and to pay for the item (his money of course,)hopefully I won't get barred or anything
Is there anything else I should do, I think he's learnt his lesson. But I'm very disappointed he felt the pressure to do it.
