    I am looking for help with a teenager that is stealing from her mother, she is sixteen. I have tried everything except going to the guards which i am reluctant to do but at this stage i might have to.

    I have to have my bag with me at all times the whole thing is very upsetting and disheartening at this stage.

    You need to take the direct route and confront her about it. Ask her to explain why she is doing it, in her own words (much of the time she won't be able to articulate it, but it will force her to actually think about what she is doing and face up to the fact that she is doing it). Explain clearly the situation her stealing puts you in, and the choice you are faced with if it continues (in this case, bringing the Gardai into it).

    Then see if that helps.

    Gardai. Sorry but I've experience of something similar, the money is probably needed for something which is what would worry me more. Confront her and then see what you think.
