[quote=Anonymous]DD is 6. No behavior issues, extremely bright and a rule follower. We get a call that my DD has been stealing stuff from her classmates at school and this was not an isolated incident.

Apparently there has been some issues in the class with some pop it’s/stuffed animals/pens coming up missing. Yesterday another stuffed animal(kids earn coupons where they can keep a stuffed animal at their desk) went missing and the student teacher said “I’m going to have to check the cameras to see who is coming in the classroom.” Long story short my DD heard this and when the kids went to go to art she shoved the stuffed animal back in the desk and told the teacher she found it. The teacher got suspicious and checked my DDs backpack and she found several other students belongings. What has been happening is my DD has been asking to go the bathroom right before lunch everyday and then as the class heads to the lunchroom she goes back to the classroom to get her lunchbox and takes stuff from people’s desks. The teacher only knew of about 5 things that were missing but my when I asked DD to show me things she had taken, it was enough stuff to fill up a grocery bag!

We asked her why she did it, and she said one day she saw a pop it she wanted and she thought long and hard about how she could get it so she made the story up about the bathroom and it worked so she kept doing it. I honestly don’t even know what to do. I am so embarrassed, and don’t understand how this could happen. My DD was able to tell me who every single item belonged to and even told me some of the kids cried when they couldn’t find their stuff. Do I come down hard? Or is this just a learning experience, she was bawling when the principal called me. [/quote]
