    Default Son Caught Stealing from Walmart

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: yesterday my son was caught shoplifting a 3.00$ item from walmart. I've never studied criminal law and was wondering what will happen, they called me I picked him up and the Lp said he will inform us with further info but I would like to no before hand. Also how did he get caught I doubt walmart puts magnetic strips in 3$ items?

    I thought this was a hypothetical scenario.

    We have no way of telling you how he got caught. Thieves do get caught stealing from time to time.

    If your son (or is it you) was charged with an offense, he will go to juvenile court and the judge will attempt to determine what should happen based upon the offense, his prior criminal record, his school, family and community records, and anything else the court deems legally relevant.

    Well, just like I said in answer to the hypothetical question, but with a IT HAPPENED answer.

    Aside from what MrKNowItAll said....

    Your kid has cost you a lot of money ($2000 is a good low-end estimate). Court costs, fines. Any program fees such as Community Service. The store will send a Civil Demand notice for THE PARENT to pay.
