[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure what “pressing charges” means but I would pursue every avenue that the school provides to resolve the situation.  If the school administration decides to get the police involved, that would be on them.  Assuming that this boy did it, return of the device and suspension/detention would be enough for me.  At DS’s MCPS MS, they have security cameras in every hallway so it would be easy to catch a locker breaker.

And for all those criticizing the MS kid having an iPod, I wonder if you really are in tune with the MS environment.  At my DS’s  MS, most of the kids in his grade have iPods and cellphones and they are allowed to use iPods before and after school and at lunch.  My DS has DH’s hand me down iPod Touch.   I teach my kids not to flaunt anything they have or be careless with their possessions, but it still does not give anyone the right to steal their things.  I am just not a “blame the victim” type person when it comes to intentional acts.

My MSer doesn't own an iPod, and he does just fine socially.  We're not all lemmings.[/quote]

It was probably your kid who took it. [/quote]
