Friend of my daughter may have stolen something???

You should ask the parents. If the girls family is as close to you as you say they are, they should be concerned and understanding. They probably won't jump to conclusions and get upset that you're accusing their daughter.

All you should say is, "I don't mean to sound accusing, but where did you daughter get the ______ game? I was just wondering because *insert daughters name* recently misplaced hers and I thought that maybe she let *other girls name* borrow it and forgot?"

By making it seem like a mistake was made, as oppose to a theft, the parents will be more likely to help the situation than if you outright blame their daughter.

Good luck!

well i feel you she tell her mother and see what she has to say about it. I mean if your friend is a good friend then she won't be mad at you or think you are lying on her daughter. Also i think you should have said something when you first found out that she was stealing from you. I mean she's 14 and if her mother is still buying her clothes then she should know whats not her daughters. I mean if push come to shove then don't let them come back over anymore and when your friend ask you why tell her that her daughter has been stealing from you. I mean we as people work hard for the things we have to let someone come and take it from us so even if it cost a dollar you had to work hard to get it. So just tell your friend

You need to talk to the parents of the child. There may be an explanation. You won't know until you ask. I'm sure the parents would want to know. Just make sure you approach it in the right manner and not trying to be condescending.

Explain that it is a hard question to ask and then just ask it. Pray that the parents will understand. It sounds likely that this girl was the culprit. If nothing else the girl will know that you know, even if she never confesses to it.

Personally, I would not have the girl around for a while and tell her your reasons why.

Call the parent up and ask her if she bought any DS games lately..If she replies, "no", then you have your answer. Unless the mother lies for the daughter,which I doubt will happen.Butif the two games that are missing turn up in the other child`s pocket, hmmmm, very fishy.If you`re very close then this should be easy.

I would ask the Mom - say "my daughter lost 2 of her DS games - I thought maybe when your daughter slept over the games got mixed up and accidentally got put in your daughter's case, could you check for me and see if they are in your daughter's stuff?" Your families are close - I would assume you don't want to ruin your relationship with accusations that may not even be accurate. Find someway to ask without accusing.

in my opinion it really depends on the age of the child. 12yrs or younger and it is certainly a discussion for the parents, they should know how/when/where the game was purchased. If we are talking teenagers here than a little investigation/interrogation may work (same questions: when/where/how much $? but without seeming suspicious.) of course honesty is the best policy but depending on how close your family is to hers, beware of the "how dare you accuse" attitude... it often signifies guilt.

best thing to do is when you child buys these games get a dremel and dremel in her name or initials from now on to everything she owns, as for the friend I would let your daughter handle it first, maybe she can coxe it out of the friend if she did take it, kids sometimes will do that, but for future things always mark the items, i do with all my electronics, it helps!

ask her friend's parents if they bought her any new games the past week

Ask her parents if they knew she had that game! If not then she probably stole it!

Good Luck!
