Tara - have you REALLY searched her room/counted the money firstly?
how good is your relationship with her dad?

if/when you talk to the dad try to word it that could he ask her if she remembers if Erin put all the money back, so it's like you're asking for her help rather than accusing her?

I think lots of kids go through a stealing phase as well, I remember I was jealous of a girl at school when she brought some of her dancing trophies to school so I hid them

off for a shower TTFN

Have counted it, nearly £20 missing. Was there last night, why oh why is being a Mum so hard sometimes...

Just spoken to her Dad and went along the lines with Sami's advice (thanks) but he said she was always very honest and it really didn't cross his mind during the conversation so I think that at least now she knows that I am aware of it and maybe she will think more carefully next time. To be honest he was very unaware of how difficult life has been for her since her Mum walked out and working in the school I was very involved and saw the turmoil, hence her spending a lot of time here. He doesn't see the other side of her that I have, and I know all kids have that including mine! Think we will chalk this one up to experience. X

She hasn't twigged that I think it was her friend, imagine the trouble in school if she did! I can't really see that I can do anything else.

Are you going to just replace it for her ? There probably isnt much else you can do
