    This is exactly what happened.. It's not legal to resell the items as the items do not belong to my son any longer. They were bought and paid for by the friend.
    I don't believe that is what happened, and obviously neither does the officer, but let's go with that. Let's say the friend complains to the police, "I used the money I stole to buy items that I left with my friend, and didn't bother to take until you made him give back the money that I stole, and now he says he sold them to somebody else to pay back the money that I stole." What do you imagine that the police would do?

    That aside, the point is, you have made a compelling case that your son's bedroom is brimming with high-value stuff that he can sell, and you have claimed to routinely pay him thousands of dollars to perform chores, so he has ample opportunity to raise $700. If he is truly afraid to sell the stuff that he supposedly sold to his friend, he has a computer that he can sell.

    I came here for advice, not to be judged. Personally, I couldn't care less if you believe me or not. You don't know me and you don't have any idea how I parent or live my life.

    I never claimed that I pay my son thousands of dollars to do chores. He does get paid for doing chores and he WORKS mowing lawns. He's not a thief! You think you know it all, when in fact, you don't. He's NOT selling anything of his and he's not being punished as he has done NOTHING wrong nor have I. The mother, my son and I are the victims here. You have no idea what the other boy told the police or his mother. Now, Kindly stop replying as all you are doing is bullying me.

    You have received many suggestions.

    Whining about being judged doesn't help you. Your son's story is weak, and he's going to be judged if he ends up in court.

    You claimed that you didn't think that it was unusual that your son's friend had thousands of dollars in cash, supposedly for doing chores, because you do the same thing with your son. I can't blame you for backing off of that story, but you're trying to have it both ways -- your son's friend told a story that was not believable, and you have now effectively admitted that it was not believable.

    Your son doesn't get to keep the property he sold and the stolen money he received, even if you want to make petulant declarations that he's the victim. You can't pretend that he sold the items to the 'friend' and that they're still his to keep.

    I would point out that there is nothing in this thread to indicate that mom knew that the friend had thousands of dollars on him at the time that he bought the items from her son. The OP knew that he had 700.00 on him because that is what he spent. While 700.00 is a lot for an average teenager, its not an outrageous amount.

    I NEVER said they were his to keep!! I said they are NOT his. Also, I had no idea his friend had thousands of dollars until the mother called me 2 weeks later! My son isn't the only one this boy has involved in this mess. There are other ones he just gave money to. Before you say it, he didn't just give my son money. He bought stuff off of him. The "story" isn't weak.. it's the truth and I have text messages if it were to go to court that he was buying the items and then messages after the police were called stating that he lied.

    Like I said before, I am here for advice and if I were lying then how am I to get accurate advice? I wouldn't waste my time!
