On one side of the river, there are the following people,
A Father with 2 Sons.
A Mother with 2 Daughters.
A Policeman with a Thief.

There is 1 raft. Only two people can be on the raft at one time.

Only the Father, the Mother and the Policeman know how to ride it.

Conditions:
1. The Father cannot be left alone with any of the Daughters without the Mothers presence.
2. The Mother cannot be left alone with any of the Sons without the Fathers presence.
3. The Thief cannot be left alone with any of the family members without the Policemans presence.

How do all of them cross the river??

The mother take on daughter across
She takes the boats back
The mother takes the other daughter across
She takes the boat back and switchs with the father
The father takes one son across
He takes the boat back
The father brings the other son across
He bring the boat back
The father bring the mother across
He brings the boat back and switches with the policeman
The policeman brings the father across
He takes the boat back to get the thief...

If this isn't the answer then I don't know...it is possible because you didn't say the the sons and daughters couldn't be left together and you also didn't say that the thief couldn't be left alone
so this is my answer so there

They attach a rope to the raft. The police and thief go across together. The raft gets pulled back and the sons and daughters go across in two trips. Now, the sons and daughters are with the police and thief. Then the mother and father go across together.
