12 Year Old Caught Shoplifting at Sears

Well the actual time is 2 months which is almost the entire summer.. he still gets to do some activities such as.. go swimming, trampoline,(the backyard) and his basketball in the drive way.. I am keeping him away from his friends, NO beatings!! He will be able to go places with his Aunts too, I know 2 months may seem a little harsh to some people, however, so is stealing... He also plays football on a little league team, and he still will be doing that too.. (not with the same kids he goes to school with)

The Civil Demand will come in the form of a letter and in Michigan the amount (since the merchandise was recovered in salable condition) will be not less than $50 nor more than $200.
