Is DD's friend a thief?
Comments

That childhood friendship was surely worth more than £9.40 ?I haven't spoken to school friend since as she never apologised and reimbursed my son.
We've all seen it time and again. Child is caught red-handed smashing a window, pilfering sweets, smoking hash, etc. Mother is informed. She challenges her child who half-heartedly denies the accusation. Fawning mother is far too doting to question her child's version of events. Mum proudly tells complainant "There ya go.. I bleedin' told ya my little darlin' didn't flamin' do it."
It's a double attack on the mother who instinctively retaliates in defence of her child and her parenting skills.0 -

Not to the thief, that much is obvious. I wouldn't have a known thief in my home and I can't think of anyone sane who would.
Your name is perhaps apt?:D0 -

It's a rarity for me to agree with you (:eek: )
OP, i think if you haven't already you need to contact the friend's parents to get to the bottom of this. Purse don't just magically "dissappear"This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -
Don't take it personally, but has the OP ruled out it being a False Flag Operation?
Could her own child have hidden the purse, perhaps to disguise that she had
mis-spent her own pocket money, and then blamed her friend for the "theft" ?0 -

Maybe I have led a very sheltered life but I haven't seen the things you mention in your post time and again.
I have come across a few dizzy doting mothers who think angel can do no wrong though.0 -
Innocent until proven guilty, and whatever happened to Christian forgiveness?!Not to the thief, that much is obvious.

Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned.
Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

Presumed innocent dear, presumed.;)
Who said I'm a Christian? It's news to me. And my username is apt - that would be the point of it, as it appears is yours. To an alarming degree.;)0 -

I have to be able to trust people, especially people I allow into my house, The friend stated to me quite clearly I had no right to accuse her daughter and couldn't believe I had the nerve to come to her doorstep with wild assumptions, She wouldn't have a barr of it and got very vocal,If i hadn't warned her back she would have got physical. Even when proven wrong no apology was ever forthcoming.
I don't like stuff like that in my life, I also don't want to be suspicious of guests, so would rather not have contact or be around someone who can't deal with things without a kickoff.#JusticeForGrenfell0 -
