shoplifting fwd
i have already spoken to you about the shoplifting insidence.. and something else has happened since. The police phoned Steph and i, telling us although we were with ashley and the time we are still associated with her, said the police, so we have got off lightly this time with no punishment, but ashley is still getting the punishment of not being aloud in any of the town shops for 6 months and never aloud in the 2 shops she stole from again! Ashleys mum and her are not happy with this and are making a complaint dispite the fact the police office phoned up and told me and steph and our parents we are not getting the punishment. SO the police woman who was with us is talking to her sargent so the sargent could well change his mind and say we do not actually have any evidence we as we didnt check emily and stephs hand bags at the time( even though the police are not aloud to check handbags! they just checked stephs carier bag the same as they did with ashley) Ashleys mum is also informing the school about this and telling the head that we all shop lifted. She also said shes going to let everyone else know no so we look like fools! Im now left in a big mess knowing this what are the school going to think dispite its not true and everyone else meaning friends etc? i had nearly got over it and had put it behind when the police had phoned and said eveything is sorted but now ashleys mum is making this complaint everything is going to end for me and going to be a totall mess, i just dont no what to do, ashley even wrote a letter of appology to my parents which said what we did that day (lies). help please everything is going to get worse i can feel it, And her mum always seems to get her way she said shes going to fight until she does!???? :(:(

Hiya.
Wow, such a small little thing and she's taken it this far. I guess for her it's just easier to blame you and steph by saying it was all of you instead of just dealing with the truth that her daughter shoplifted and got caught by the police for doing it.
Laws are different in the USA to the UK and I am uncertain as to where you are from but I really wouldn't let this get to you. As far as the police are concerned you didn't do anything and they can't now suddenly decide you did do something wrong - especially since they have no evidence to say otherwise. I seriously doubt they will now suddenly decide to go back on what they said and decide to hold you responsible as well.
As for ashley's mom - have you spoken to your parents about all of this? About her mom calling up your school and such? It's very petty and stupid - the kind of thing that 5 year olds do in a school yard. From my perspective it has nothing to do with the school so the only reason she's doing it is because she knows ashley was in the wrong and just doesn't want her to look the bad one. You can also have your parents speak to the head of your school too, to straighten things up and make sure the head knows exactly whats going on (about ashleys mom being spiteful about the incident and is now just trying to cause trouble for you and your friend and that the head is welcome to talk to the police to get the truth).
Other than that for now there might not really be anything else you can do for the moment. To be honest with you though don't let what she's saying to everyone bug you. It really won't matter. People wholisten to gossip are people who will believe anything. Your friends and such won't listen anyway or will at least ask you for your side of things and if they choose to believe someone else instead of their own friend then maybe they really wern't all that a good friend anyway. My point is don't worry about it. People are always spreading rumours but at the end of the day ashleys mom won't be able to get away of the truth which is you and steph were innocent and ashley was shoplifting.
I hope everything will calm down just try not to let it all get on top of you. Trust me this petty rubbish really isn't worth it. You and Steph have nothing to worry about. If you need tochat anymore just message me again. :]
