[quote=Anonymous]I don't think the amount of money is particularly relevant. He may not have even realized how much he was actually spending. Obviously, stealing is bad, but I think something about taking the credit card, entering the details and then buying in-game things over a few weeks makes it seem, to the teenage brain, less bad than stealing $300 out of mom's wallet. Like, I bet he'd think that was a HUGE deal and this is somehow different. I would make a big deal out of how this is just as much stealing as taking $300, walk through exactly how much he spent, etc. I would make him work off the money. Then I'd give him another chance but w/ heavy monitoring. It may be a one time thing. 13 year olds are impulsive and do incredibly stupid things. They also aren't great judges of moral equivalency.[/quote]
