i was caught shoplifting in Filene's for $85. i am a foreign student on visa.. i was so scared.. they told if i don't want police involvde i should sign everything. i did without reading because i was so scared. i signed. then i got a letter asking for some money. i paid. but now - i am scared that they will still go to the police and i will be deported.
what can i do? do my parents to find out? what chance i will have to go court? will there be a record? can i find out what is the papers i signed? will i be arrested in my class?
- scared and nervous -
