Re-posted from chat for traffic.

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 due to the stealing, lying and occasionally claiming she has no memory of the behaviour. 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 .....
She is 13.

but we can't seem to convince her she is treated much better than some people- she has always had everything she wants or needs. I'd stop trying to convince her. It'll just add self-loathing to the mix.

If she's been bullied before, I'd wonder about social exclusion - deeply distressing for her, but the school wouldn't even notice it. And she won't say to you "nobody likes me, I'm a freak".
