Stealing

Why do kids get linked with stealing?

Could the answer be …

First, we have to decide whether this is actual stealing, or being wrongly accused of stealing?

1. If we think we have a problem with stealing things, money or items – from shops or family. It would be good to find someone safe to talk to. It's not unusual, and it can be fixed.

2. Why might people accuse us of stealing? Is it other kids I mix with?

Move on – find a better crowd. Keep out of situations where things might go missing – you can’t be accused if you weren’t there!

As in 1. Talk it through with someone
