In our situation, the girl told dd she didn’t take the widget and had no idea what happened to it, but then a few weeks later posted a Snapchat video from her bedroom with dd’s widget in the background. I showed a screenshot to the girl’s mom, who admitted she brought it home from our house but told the parents dd gave it to her. The mom apologized to me and offered to reimburse me the cost of the item, but then blamed my dd for being upset with her daughter. (They also never returned dd’s widget and the daughter has never acknowledged what she did or apologized to my daughter.)
They are 13 and 15, if that matters. Plenty old enough to know better and also (in my mind) old enough to manage their relationships with less parental involvement.
I don’t want her kicked off the team. Teens make poor decisions; it is part of growing up. I’d hate one bad impulse to cause her to be kicked off the team. But i have no problem with excluding her from my house. That seems a pretty reasonable consequence to me.
