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

Try to find one that is openly Christian-based

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

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

May i suggest a good read from an old BYU professor?Psychologist/Behaviorist

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

Baron

1/18/19 7:23pm

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

Phasor

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

1/18/19 7:35pm

Make him take a drug test, you can buy them at any pharmacy.

1/18/19 7:47pm

I would do this immediately

For all the tough love comments, I'd be a bit careful about going too fare. Kid
