Hi Yenny,

First you call the police.  Its fairly obvious he is a minor.  So, the next course of action, is to call the boy's parents.  U should tell your son about it and not allow him to be around the boy, that got into trouble.  Making it a priority, this boy has parents and someone needs to make him accountable.

tell your son and hes parents. the cannabis isnt the problem, everyone smokes weed these days! including your son most likely! but the boy does need to be punished to realise that what he has done isnt right and to try and stop him slipping down that path!

you would call the boy's parents because you have no proof that he stole your jewelry. you didn't see him do it therefore no legal action can be token
