I was pretty upset when my daughter was charged with shoplifting. I panicked at first because I thought her whole life was ruined over a really stupid action. I had no idea she was even hanging out with a crowd that would do something like this.
I am a single mother doing my best, but I guess I've been too busy and not paying close enough attention. Thankfully, the judge ordered her to take a theft class online. After she completed it, he would determine what else she needed to do.
I knew she had to have the right attitude or she would end up with a record. I took the classes with her because I felt that I was partially to blame for not being there for her as much as I wanted to be. We both learned a lot and the judge must have thought so too because she only sentenced my daughter to community service to complete the rest of her sentence.
