I again think counseling and talking to him about what he was buying and why? Ask why he didn't just come to to buy it?

Baron There was no collusion

Again, I think doing it to you is much better than to your neighbor. Still horrible, but I think it shows some restraint.

Yes they did. "He saw a counselor for a period of time"

Doesn’t matter that much imo. There are loads of non-Christian therapists who are great.

That’s tough man. Know that you aren’t alone in parenting struggles with teens.

Horrible idea. Don't listen to this.

Tough Love allows for consequences to bring reality to the situation.

Unless you know the system, you could make it so much worse. Will it be on his record? Can it be sealed? What happens

Stealing from parents is one thing. Stealing from others is much worse. Has he stolen from anyone else?

Baron

He has shoplifted before, but not for a couple years (that we're aware of)
