what do you mean, you havent been charged yet? That amount of money is a chargeable offense even for a first time offender. When did this happen. You are arent telling us enough to even get started answering. School reports are really small potatoes to this.

You're lucky you aren't at least in custody now. That sounds ( 7500 ) like more than loose change.

Hello miss:

You're a juvenile. You probably won't go to jail.

What is wrong with you? Why did you have the need to steal $5000.00 Was it to take care of an ailing parent or something? You did not state the reason for the theft even though no reason would be valid but it would explain why you did it. If you took the money for no reason other than because you could do it, then you are very lucky that you are even alive. There are people who have been killed for less. You are setting your parents up to be held responsible for the money you have stolen. Since you are a minor, she can sue your parents. After you turn 18, she can turn around and sue you. Or she can wait until you turn 18 to sue you. You should be in the process of writing a letter of apology to this person. And you should be very ashamed of yourself for doing something like this. I am a mother and I would be very disappointed if any one of my children did something like this. You state its your first crime but after you wrote that you should have wrote and this is my last crime. You should be trying to contact members of your family so that someone can try to pay this person back. She has to feed her family also. You should have been more responsible.

excon agrees: Those kind of answers aren't real helpful over here. They want legal solutions, not judgments.
Clough disagrees: I agree with excon.

Well, in this instance, I don't care. I don't see why a teenager needs to steal that amount of money.

I have no idea what will happen to you. I think that you will have court fines/restitution, probably community service hours, and probation.
Just please learn from your mistake, you are much too young to be starting out your life going the wrong way.

I am confused, this isnt the post I answered. It has been changed.

Get an attorney. Pay for him or her. You probably won't be put in jail. But, that all depends on what your attorney can negotiate for you.
