I have an 8 year old daughter who just wont stop stealing, it started when she was in kindergarden, she would take other kids food or toys or whatever she could take, and then lie straight to your face as if nothing happend, Ive taken her toys, Ive taken her tv, video games, radio..I have tried everything possible and nothing seems to work. The bad thing about it my husband (yes her father) is a police officer and AGAIN nothing works..he has went to work and asked other officers and at the end of the day all they can do is scratch their head. It seems unless you have a child like that nobody can understand the pain and embarrasment it causes. I read some of the other blogs because I to am at my wits end. I wish I could say we have problems in the house then at least there would be an excuse..I wish I can say she's underfed because then that would be an excuse, I wish I can say nobody is home to give her a hug and kiss, but none of these things apply, so I dont know if its just rebellion. For God's sake Im married to the law what else can I do..desperate and confused
