Shoplifting is pretty common in teens. Tell her he can be in real trouble for this and she’ll only continue to see him if he stops.

Not sure entirely - but I know she broke a few nails (tips) and he stole nail glue for her, LOL.

They are both 16. He has an older brother, 21, who lives at home. And I don't know the parents at all. I'm just a worried/concerned mom.

Your 16 year old is dating a guy whose parents you don’t know?
This is weird.
So I’m
Going to bow out of this thread because we are just on different parenting planets. She’s not in college. And imo, influences on your daughter should at least be known to you.

I have never met the parents of any boy/girlfriends of my teens except for prom and graduation.

To the folks who find “the best part of high school is not meeting other parents”, etc., that’s pretty sad, but good luck to you. As PP said upthread, you’re on a different parenting planet. you’re free to abdicate supervision of your teenagers and deal with the associate consequences.

And again, since he steals, I'm sure you can understand that I can't allow you to go to any stores or restaurants with him so you won't get arrested as an accomplice when he gets caught, which eventually he will."

This!
All of this.
