Ok, so your daughter doesn't take anything of value to school. You think that will stop this "shoplifting" spirit of the other girl? What if she begins to forget her books and "borrows" one of your daughter's? What if she begins to store things she takes from other people in the same locker...what if she then blames your daughter??? And even if she is caught, your daughter can be held responsible for not telling about her...and be considered an accessory. This is serious, and it needs to be stopped now, imo.

The other girl might be having real problems at home and does this acting out to try and cope.

After seeing all the horrible horror stories of what schools are doing to "discipline" their students, it's dog eat dog out there!
Those are good points you mentioned JD - I didn't think about the possibility of the girl stealing other things and putting it in their locker. You know what's strange is, several months ago this girl claimed she found an Ipod Touch on her driveway. I believed it, but now I'm doubting she swiped this from someone. It really is a dog eat dog world out there. Thanks for pointing this out.
