Ok, so heres the story. My sister has recently started stealing from stores. Nothing too expensive, but still a threat to her and the store. Well, i guess i really dont have anything more to say besides that.

So now im stuck trying to figure out weather or not to tell someone about it. I klnow i should, but then i would feel guilty about betraying my sisters trust. And if i dont, ill feel guilty about not telling someone about her wrongdoings. I dont know weather or not to just let it all unfold and have her get cought or if i should tell someone who can do something about it.

Someone please help me out.

Maybe if you could talk her into quitting, or confessing, you'd feel better.  :)

Well if she's caught she'll possibly be put in jail.  You really shouldn't feel bad for betraying your sister given that you'll be helping her not hurting her.

Fair warnings always work, unless you don't act upon the threat afterwards.

Give her a choice, either she stops or you tell before she winds up getting caught and in trouble, then if you have to squeal on her for her own good then your betrayal won't seem so bad:)

Go to the police under your sisters boyfriends name (if she has one, if not then her bestfriend), and tell the police.

warn her first, then if you have to, tell someone.  Basically what everyone else has been saying.

I would just confront her directly as opposed to telling someone else about it...

Tell your parents, people who steal generally go for bigger and bigger things, eventually landing them in jail, so telling your parents is doing your sister more of a favor than keeping her trust could ever be.

Go to your parents first. It's their responsibility to instill moral fiber in their kids, and even if she accuses you of betraying her trust, the fact of the matter is this-- stealing is both wrong and illegal. If this doesn't stop now, she could find herself in some serious trouble later on.

How old is she?  If she's old enough, I'd say just let her be and do what she wants.  She knows its wrong, having somone tell her isn't going to change that.  If she wants to run the risk of getting caught, let her.

It hink you really need to tell someone, cuz if you just let your sister get caught , itll be tons worse, andi mean tons!, you need to either talk her out of it or tell someone, but you cant let her keep going, and if you are a good sibling you would not let her continue either, trust is good but sometimes you need to violate it in order to do good, she will thank you in the future, she may not know it know but she will

I was in a remotely similar position once. She promised not to do it again, and so I never told anyone. (It wasn't stealing from stories or anything that bad, but it would have gotten her in trouble.)

Yes, you most definitley need to tell someone. Your sister needs help, because she has a problem. No one will help her unless they know about what's going on.

I would tell somebody. I have a little brother, and if I caught him stealing, I would drag him to the middle of the store, shout out "HEY! This is XXX! I just caught him stealing!! What should I do with him?!" She needs to know that what she's doing is wrong. She'll forgive you eventually.
