shop lifting AGAIN!
thank you that has helped theres just still 1 part of me which thinks or knos the police could go back on what they said especially if ashleys mum is complaining, im from the uk by the way! My parents no about this and say the same is a hard situation try not too worry because ashleys mum is going to be made the fool! im just worried the school may think im really bad now and will look at me as though she shouldnt be in this school etc. ALso the police may say as we didnt check steph and emily hand bags how do we know there wasnt something in there ( even though the police arnt aloud to do that!

Hi again. Sorry for the delay in my reply but I had a word with a friend of mine who has studied law about the situation with you as I thought it might help.
As I had suspected, here in the UK if you are caught shoplifting in a group, even if onlyone person was responsible the police will usually hold everyone in the group accountable and punish everyone equally. In this case I think you and steph had got really lucky the police didn't do that. As for ashleys mom teling the police you were doing it too and soon, it will come to nothing now at all. There is nothing at all the police can do about it because quite frankly there is no evidence against you or steph (you was correct about what you had said about the handbags too - they would need a warrent to search them). Even if the police now do think there might have been something in your handbags it will all be speculation based and that will be avery, very weak case for the police to play on it's why I know they just won't do anything now to you or steph about this incident. If they do decide to suddenly try to blame you then you can seek legal help because they would be very stupid for even trying to make anything stick on you or steph.
As for ashleys mom - your parents are very right, she will just make herself look very foolish (she already has to me, lol). The school can't judge you by something like this especially just by going by ashleys mom. I really wouldn't worry about it. You won't get into any trouble at the school and trust me they won't be telling you to go to another school. If, and that's a very big if, they do this then ashleys mom can be taken to court for making false accusations against you and the school can also be taken to court for forcing you to leave for such a pathetic reason (especially when its all lies based on some angry shoplifters mom). Seriously, you have nothing to worry about. If you are still worried about the situation then tryhave your parents visit the school head to have a word personally with him/her to have a chat about the whole situation. If the head knows your side of things and what is going on he/she will surely understand.
You really have nothing to worry about from anyone. You did the right thing by not doing what ashley was doing. This is her mistake and you and steph were just someone who were in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong friend.
