Panther 10758, nariya and PaulE-
Thanks for the responces!
Nariya, CASA sounds like a bit much for a 15 yr old first time theft that was caught and is very scared that she messed up her life to please a friend (who is no friend in my opinion!)
PaulE-OK, now 602pc makes sense. I told her she will never go back to that store anyway after the way they "got happy" over her misfortune. By the way, I have spent ~$1500.00 in the last year at THIS SAME Store which is part of my heartburn with them even though they were doing their job.
I plan on asking for community service, a diverson program, etc. And, she will be signing up for the local police explorer program ASAP!
It's handled thru a referee at the juvenile traffic division, my understanding is that a DA is not involved. If she has to plead, I'm thinking no contest is the best route in this case but I'm not sure which is why I'm hoping to locate an attorney on this forum for advice.
Panther 10758-You sound like a nice person (as I am) who hates thieft's (which I also do, REALLY!). Glad to hear about the dressing rooms! I was going to have to start posing!
Believe me, my daughter has lost a whole lot with this show of stupidity! A car at 16~~not anymore. Mall alone~~When she's 25, maybe... She will not be at the opening of a new jewelry line that we planned to attend. Her friend will not go with us to Palm Springs this weekend. Her XMas gifts will be my paying all the fees that go along with this stupidity. She is use to lots of gifts. No new "7" jeans at $150.00, no new jeans at all until next year. etc., etc. I know how to punish her and believe me I already have started. My heartburn is the legal system damaging any child's life because she is still a child (just turned 15), and the legel system is full of flaws and if one of its flaws is to take away hope for a good future from a 15 yr old then I do not agree with that part of the law. It's just like "kicking a kid out of school because they are failing to learn", its not fair but its done often. Look at the numbers of kids starting high school, and kids finishing high school because of some very flawed rules that discourage kids. And, kids they are.....
What do this LC jobs pay? Are these folks educated? My daughter says they were asking her how to spell for the report against her....Now that is ironic...
I really do believe race was a factor and if you are in CA then you might have felt the tension between hispanics and "others" since this Mexico stuff started. We are not Mexican, but folks think all "might be hispanic's" are Mexican. Also very sad.
Again, I sincerely thank you for your feedback~even the stuff I disagree with you on!
