Guest Guest Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Tell school officials & the autorities as soon as possible. It's true, the reason you would give a kid a cell phone and allow them to bring it to school is if they stay after - hours for activities often, not to brag about. CAUTION: You do need to report this, because if some kid uses that stolen cell phone to call in a bomb threat at a local gov't building, the first thing police will do is track down the number/phone. Since it's prepaid, they go directly to either the credit card used for the purchase OR store security footage if you paid in cash. This system is in place so people can't just buy a cheap cell phone at a store and call in bomb threats and harass people without being caught.

BCGirl Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 dial *67 to block your number from appearing on the caller ID and then dial the phone number to see who answers! If you dont know how to do this, on a cell phone it will look like this *67###-#### all together and then hit send. it will come up unknown and maybe someone (maybe a 12 year old little girl) will be stupid enough to answer it!

Lots of times stolen cell phones are used for other illegal activity as well. Call the police AND the cell phone provider at once. I learned this when my phone was stolen a few years ago. Also, once you do this, don't try to call the number yourself. Let the police handle it from there. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Move to a different Trailer Park....immediately. Now my 10 yr old has a cellphone because when he is away from me ( practice ) he can contact me if it ends early or whatever. Where we live ( rual setting) my kids walk to school and if there is a problem... They use the phone maybe 15 mins a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbers84 Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 I think you should contact the school and let them handle it, most of the time the do ok with getting property back, If no avil with that I think you should contact the police and have the police talk to the parents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesson learned not to brag and not to bring it to school and if you do hide it in your locker with it on viberate. But then we all know that kids will be kids thats why parents have to be the responable one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ACiD Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 First off, Tracfone is horrible, and a pain in the a$$ to deal with if you ever have any problems... so don't bother to contact them, as there is nothing they can do for you.... Before going to authorities, I would first contact the school if there truly was a physical altercation, as they should know about it, and if it happened at school they should deal with that part of it and discipline the offender(s). As for the phone, I would take a trip to the 'friend' who stole the phone's home and visit their parents. Unless they are total scumbags, they may be interested to know this, as they probably don't know anything about it, and then you will probably get the phone back, and they will probably beat the crap out of their adorable little one... if that doesn't work, then go to the authorities. I hope you were smart enough to write down your tracfone's serial number.... that will certainly help to identify it if anyone has doubts about it.

bloodthirst Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 I feel bad that a 12 yr. old had to go through this type of experience. Having said that, why in the world does she need a cell? This cell phone craze is so annoying that it drives me nuts. My guess is that she wanted the phone so she could take it around and try to make other kids jealous. She still didn't deserve to have it stolen, but perhaps there is a lesson for her in all this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably have a baby by the time she's 16 You have a lot of nerve scumbag to judge a CHILD that you know nothing about simply because she has a cell phone? You must be a real dirt bag I’m 23 and I had a cell phone at the age of 13 only one year older than that child. And I still to this day do not have Any children, It’s called morals Which judging from your post you have little to none of , I’m sorry your parents didn’t raise you right but better luck with your children hopefully you don’t raise them to be like you, We have enough idiots in this world no need for more And as far as Bragging goes it’s what children do when I got my first phone I showed all of my friends as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 3 children, aged 12 and 2-9 year olds, and they all have a cell phone. We have incorporated "rules" for their cellphones. Their mother and I work different shifts, and this way they have contact with at least one of us, whenever they need it. My kids have good morals, and don't abuse the phones.

Guest Guest Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Its the 21 st century folks and the technology has been here for years! First of all stealing is stealing i would call the parents first if i didnt get immediate action then call the police to end it all. she got a black eye and all you did is call the parent who was a retired cop? Lol all cops think just because they carry a tin and are in the brotherhood that they are above the law, you really need to take action and file a foormal complaint so that its on record.

Your reading comprehension skills are really top notch. The OP said HER "fater" was a cop, not the thief's. And yet, you had to jump on the bashing bandwagon.

Doesn't mean they're having sex or even kissing for that matter. Jesus!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
