Kleptomania

Friends. the child. has lost. her mind.
she waited until everyone in the house went to sleep, crept out of her bed and down the hall and stole fifty-one dollars from her fathers' pants pocket.
her father. the one who spent 6grand fighting a custody battle just so that child could be there on sunday nights so she could steal from him.
he looked everywhere. he went all over the house, outside, in the car, and i know he would rather have lost every dime of that money and never seen it again-instead of going into his daughters' room and finding it in her bed.
he's so hurt. so betrayed. he couldn't even spank her. this morning...he...he tried. he gave a couple whaps. but i could tell that's not what he wanted to do. he didn't want to discipline her.

AND IF ANYONE HAS ANYTHING THEY WOULD LIKE TO SAY TO HER-PLEASE-YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TO ADD THE COMMENT AND SHE WILL HEAR IT. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY PUNISHMENT SUGGESTIONS-WE'RE OPEN ALL DAY.
JUST DON'T BOTHER WITH ANY THEORIES ON WHY SHE DID IT OR HOW IT'S "NOT SO BAD" OR ANY OF THAT NORMAL CHILD BEHAVIOR JUNK. BECAUSE TRUST ME-THE PILE OF STRAW ON THIS CAMELS BACK IS HUCKING FUMONGOUS
