You could just give them a tracking device. when htey do things like that, find it and bug the hell out of them till they give up.

hmm.... that's a toughy.... well, i was going to say accompany them while shopping- they'd have to have alot of guts to do it while your there. But then i realized that if the person is in high-school, they have much easier access to vehicles and some schools are close to a shopping centre- so you can't watch the child all the time. They'll go with or without you. So... maybe it's that they've developed expensive tastes that they are unable to afford. Maybe a job would change their value of a dollar. some places will hire children as young as 14- but if the person in question doesn't want to work... maybe that wouldn't help. You know what i think would help for sure? Getting caught. Let them know that there are consequences to their actions.Let them feel the touch of the Law in action, and they may be less willing to break it. and if it's a first time offence, then things shouldn't get too sour. just don't go easy on them if you take this route- make sure the lesson sticks.

The children should understand that shoplifting is not right. The children should learn morality, what is right and what is wrong.
Sometimes, it's even better for children to join some activities at their school or somewhere like sports because it gets them energized and they may feel that they don't need to shoplift anymore.
Basically, they just have to understand that shoplifting is not good and it's not right. If the child knows that, mostly likely, they will stop shoplifting.

Well it not easy but if your child get caught shoplifting let them pay the price with the police. If that doesn't wake them up nothing will.

You can teach a child right from wrong and to stress to them shoplifting is stealing and could go to dentition center to live.

Here is my suggestion.
When you discover this has happened take you child and the item they took back to the store it came from.
Seek out the Store Manager and make your child give the item back and apologize.
Apologize yourself to the Store Manager and offer to compensate him/her for the item.
Repeat this process as often as is necessary.
Have fun but be safe.

Show them the pitfalls in taking comfort in material things and loose you own desires for such wealth of junk and the kid will try to please you and do as you do. Show them how you put a priority on helping others. these are amongst the nuts& bolts that build character and genuine success in life.

I honestly dont think you can. It all depends on the person. Some learn from their first time and some just keep on doing it no matter wat kind of trouble they seem to get into. I guess any age not just under 16.

seriously, sometimes they need to get caugth to see for themselves just what they're getting into and what to expect if they intend to steal when they get older. they can be warned of the consequences time and time again, but many times they need to learn the hard way. that's how i learned. it's sad and embarassing and trust me, they will learn their lesson.
