shop lifting
my friend got caught for shop lifting while we were with her she was on camera, me and my friend steph didnt want to stop her or say anything because of her family problems, (her dad died) THe police caught her and searched stephs bag at the time but no mine, they let us go while they took ashley to the shop to return thwe things shes stolen. Ashley told her mum that we were with her and did it aswell, i spoke to her mu and told her we didnt but she said u must have ashley wouldnt of done it on her own, and asked for mine and stephs phone numbers! she phoned both our parents it all ended in a big mess and stephs house, Ashleys mum said steph and i have done something, and will not get away with it! mine and stephs parents kind of believe we havnt stolen, but dont trust us as much anymore and say we should of stopped her. Ashleys mum has given our names forward to the police even though at the time they said we can go, so im not sure wether the police will come knocking at my door at anytime im so so scared and feel really bad, i feel as though i have nothing to live for and my live has ended! i no to tell the truth but what else help! ?

what your friend did is her own action. if she shoplifts, you should NOT need to take responisbility. true, you could have told her not to, and you shouldnt feel bad because she lost her dad. Losing her did could be the reason for her behavior, and she needs to get help. I wouldent consider her a friend anymore, because she lied to her mom and said you stole. Her mom is only trusting her daughter. Your shoplifting "friend" is not very much of a friend. She got in trouble so she tried to drag you down with her. I know she lost her father, so its difficult but stay away from that girl. She is bad news. She ratted you out. Shes not kool. They cought the whole thing on video, so you cant get in trouble. There is video proof that you did not shoplift. It is not your fault, you cannot get blamed. In time, your parents will trust you. Time will help everything. Just hang in there. Its absuloutly not your fault; i doubt she wouldve listened if you try to stop her! Dont blame yourself. Your a good person.

That's a bad situation. Well basically, Ashley's mom has no right to accuse you and Steph of this. She wasn't their, and the police who caught Ashley didn't make it up. I know that her and her mom must be going through a very difficult time, but that doesn't give them the right to blame other people for their actions. Ashley should be owning up to what she did, and not letting her mom blame you. Also, you should tell you're parents that they know you would never steal, and it hurts that they don't trust you as much just because someone falsely accused you of something.

Hi.
Firstly, don't worry yourself at all, you've nothing to be afraid of at all. The police would only have let you go if they knew you had done nothing wrong. Chances are security saw your friend shoplifting and then when she left the store they notified the police who then picked her up (you can only be busted for shoplifting if you physically walk out of the store with the items without paying).
Granted that maybe you and Steph should have tried to talk some sense into Ashley but neither of you forced her to steal anything so the only one to blame is her, not you or your friend.
I wouldn't really worry at all because it's unlikely the police would visit at all even if Ashleys mom gave yours and Stephs numbers to them. Ashley was the one caught on CCTV and was the one found in possession. If the police or the store thought you and Steph had been shoplifting too they'd have searched you both as well. On the chance the police do pay you a visit just tell them the truth about what happened and it will all be over after that.
Just try not to worry yourself. :)
