What are you supposed to do when your daughter is stealing money from you, and other family?

Answer 1

u have to act quikly.do any thing.lock her.hit her.dont give her money.anything.u dont wanna see ur daughter behind jails?do you?

Answer 2

The first thing you need to do is talk to your daughter. Let her know that what she is doing is damaging to her reationship with her family and it won't be tolerated. Then find out why she's stealing. Is she doing drugs, giving it to a friend or something esle? She should be punished because she needs to know that there are consequences to demonstrating bad behaviors. Also let her know that if this behavior continues you will notify the police.

Answer 3

your not helping her by not letting her know you are aware of what shes doing. My son was very bad at that stuff. He never stopped went to prison 3 times. But when all of the people that she steals from let her know you know it protects your things some what. always confront her when somethings missing never let her think she got away with it. Try to get her couseled. my sons problem is from being bi polar he won't take the medicine. They say a lot of those type problems are chemical imbalance get her help or she may ruin her whole life.

Answer 4

Take things that away from her, that are valuable, and important to her. Tell her that you will return the items when she pays her debt back to everyone she owes. Make it clear that it is a privilege, not a right to be a member of your household. If she continues to steal, continue to take her things away. Or try selling some of her most valued items to get the money back she stole from others. She will eventually get the idea that she can't take things that belongs to others because it is hurtful

Answer 5

Talk to her. Ask her why she is stealing. If she tells you, work from there. If you think she is being dishonest or has a drug problem, take the next step to get her help. If my daughter were stealing from me, I'm going to ask why, and I'm going to tell her to make it her last time that she steals from me. I'm going to confront her behavior, and give her help and guidance, or, if it is out of my control, I'm going to get her help. Your daughter's stealing is connected to another issue; find out the issue and be strong because you're going to have to help her overcome it.

Answer 6

Definately confront her about it! Dont call the cops yet! These people obviously dont have children. First how old is she? Second how long has this been going on? Is she on drugs or just doing it out of complusion? Maybe talk to a law enforcment officer to maybe scare her into thinking differently about it. Just be a parent, dont sign her off and get rid of her. She needs help.

Answer 7

bah, you are in a very difficult situation. basically, once you have a child you might as well consider yourself obligated for the rest of your life. you brought her into this world, and although it may not be your fault that she is currently uncontrollable, it's still your responsability to do whatever is in your power. i would avoid calling the police on her, since that will cause her problems later in life should she eventually reform, but you have to be tough here. ground her, take away television privledges, phone usage, etc. physically keep her(non-violently!)from disobeying you. physically block the door with your body, physically disconnect the phone and hide it in your room, physically move the television someplace inaccessable.

this will be a lot of work, but you must do it.

Answer 8

I feel your pain. I have a step-son that does the same thing. we have done it all, grounded him, hit him, took away things he enjoys, made him work it off, gave him chances over and over again, even got him into therapy. now we found out he steals from stores, so the next thing is to let his *** get caught, he can see what jail is like. maybe these two need a wake-up call in jail.GOOD LUCK!!!!

Answer 9

Invite the whole family over and in front of your daughter announce that she is a thief and they should watch her carefully when she is around. This should embarrass your daughter enough to make her quit and alert those who may be her targets.

Answer 10

ask her what she needs the money for, , and dont be judgemental , no matter what she says, or she will never tell you anything again, ,,, then see if there is somthing she could do to earn the money instead of stealing it , chores, job, favors, etc,

Answer 11

Sit her down and tell her you know what she is doing and it is not going to be tolerated. Make her make restitution for what she has done already. Let her know that you do love her and so does everyone else but she is pushing them away by her actions. Good luck.
