UPDATE: I went to school at 8:40 this morning and still no ipod.
Supposedly the kid had given it to a high schooler to charge. The officer
was going to go to the high school and get it. I got a call a few hours
later telling me that they had it so I went back to the school.
The cop had gotten the ipod from the older kid and the serial number
matched. The principal had told the thief kid that I wasn't going to press
charges, I just wanted it back. Well that might have been ok but the case
was missing and the screen protector was gone. The glass is scratched up
and the ipod was locked with a code.
I told her (the principal) that I was still going to press charges because
of it being damaged and parts missing. So I left and went to the county
attorney's office and pressed theft charges on him. He was already in
their system, no surprise there and now he's being charged with theft by
unlawful taking. The attorneys office said he will more than likely get 6
months probation with meetings at their office every 1-2 weeks. He will be
sent to counseling and have some kind of community service.
He has been warned by the principal and the school officer not to touch my
son and not to say anything to him. He is already in trouble there for
aggressive bullying by snatching the ipod from my son's hands and running
away. They have this on video.
The attorney is going to seek payment for the damages. We may not get that
but I'm hoping that the probation and community service will teach this 14
year old kid that you can't just take something that isn't yours. and I
hope this opens his parents eyes that something needs to be done about
their child.
I hooked the ipod up to itunes and restored it with my son's stuff so now
it's good to go. I thank God that we got it back in decent working order.
