My 11-year-old shoplifted.
He was picked up by the police and the store got their stuff back. This was 2 weeks ago. They pressed charges so we're going to court soon. The store sends me a notice today that they have filed a civil action against me for $100. Work has been so bad lately that we are barely able to eat and fend off the repo man and bill collectors. So not what I needed.
