my daugher had just returned home from a day at the mall with her friend; she had a bag full of clothes, when i had only given her $20. she said there was a lot of sales that day, i asked her to show me what she got. she had at least 16 articles of clothing so i asked to see the receipt. she said she had not asked for one, and when i looked more closely at the clothes i noticed there was big holes where the plastic anti-theft buttons used to be. there was also a pair of scissors in her purse. i want to call the police so they can talk to her, but i dont want them to alert the clothing store so they can press charges or send her to a correctional facility or make her have a criminal record. she's only 15, but i dont want this to continue. i also want her to go to the clothing stores personally & admit what she did but again, i dont want them to press charges, etc. i dont mind giving the clothes back and paying for it, i just dont want her future affected by 1 mistake. what should i do?
