For hkolln..
My husband and I are good friends with the current and former chief of police in our town. We tried the scare tactic and actually made the call. We took my son down to visit the jail, and to talk to police officers about what a life of stealing will lead to in the end.
It did not phase him.
I was waiting for the day when I felt that our family was a working unit, and then my husband and I could become foster parents or foster to adopt parents again. I feel like such a criminal and I don't even have parking tickets. Oh, it didn't help to hear from the licensing board in Raleigh that they have several foster parents that were licensed and actually had substantiated claims.
So I am glad this worked for you, but my kid just thought of it as a fun adventure. He bragged to his school friends for days.
Anyway... sorry for venting but when I say I tried everything, I actually did.
