In MD: My son (now21) forged 2 checks for $4000 2 yrs ago; I caught him in time to get the 2nd check returned or ~half the $. He was remorseful so I didnt report, but kept copies of chks. He moved home to work off $, but didnt last. He left, came back twice, leaving last in Jan11 with a car in my name that I bought for his use as long as he lives/works at home. He left a huge mess + damage to my home. Lost my job, so Ive been trying to convince him to return the car or come home to do repairs so I can sell house. I recently found that he has done $2000 damage to car and license is susp in VA where he is living with a girl - signed a lease. He used my visa number (I have card) to charge about $2000 in items, Mar-Apr11 one of which required that he show an authorization for use- he forged my sig. This was for bartend schl which he went to and he now works. I placed visa charges in dispute, but have not filed a police report. He acknowledged the charges, then blocked my cell & has done nothing to repay me. He came to my home last night at 3am, angrily forced his way in and took a $1500 laptop & items of his. This is out of control, and I am afraid, but I am having real trouble with the idea of putting my own child in jail. If I file a report, do I include the checks from 2 yrs ago? what about the laptop? Including the 2 checks, the credit card fraud & the car, what could happen to my son? And does he have any obligation to repair the damage to my home (holes in doors and wall) or to my car?
