Yes she's a single parent and it's hard to correct a disorderly child. However Charging a 12 year old and having a juvenile record that could carry into adult-hood isn't going to correct him/her. Simply Taking the gift back and returning the item or holding it to a later date would of been my choice.
What the paper doesn't fill in are the 12 years of the childs life ..Where the father is or how many men have come and gone in his life How stable his background is or was. Therapy/counselling maybe in order.

Having Police as a man figure with authority is yet another draw back As the child only sees it and yet another man there to apply disciplined without any structure or value of reason
My 2 cents

that's another huge can of worms here.. they've learned to s**t out children to get benefits and they keep on doing it, so while they get everything paid for by the government, we, law abiding, working people, struggle to maintain our families because of this cancerous lump of people that do nothing and that we do have to pay for.
