So I have created a mess in my life and need help..
I am so scared and so sick that my heart comes to my mouth and I feel like disappearing my self..I am feeling to suffer from low self esteem any way as m dealing with postpartum emotional stress as well..
So I went to Kohls this weekend, surfed the store and then picked up some dresses for myself and walked out of the store without paying for them..I wasn't thinking at all and m so ashamed that if I get a chance to undo it I will do everything in my power to do that.
So as soon as I stepped out of the store the LP waited for me and asked me to follow her inside and return everything that didn't belong to me..they said they will help if I cooperated.
I did as they said, they took my I'd and my picture..gave me a paper to read whichh said a Letter would come to my house and then I have to pay something towards the LP cost failing to which they will take a legal action against me.
I was trying to convince them to listen to me but they were buying time to call police on me saying they have to do a lot of paper work about the case and their systems are slow..
Then police came, handcuffed me and took me to jail.they did those required things there and then I was allowed to call my husband, he called an attorney and bailed me out and went to my crying kids..I am so ashamed of putting my little kids through this..i was crying as my baby was hungry and needed breast feed..
I was charged with misdemeanor B, clothes worth more than 100 dollars, I wasn't told exact amount.. I am on h4 visa..its my first offence and I have a clean record otherwise.
My questions
. Do I still need to pay Kohls for whatever they ask as LP cost since they have taken legal action against me and called police.I haven't received any letter from them yet.
.Is there a way that it doesn't go to court from here and settled outside.
.can my attorney have this case dismissed or convince Kohls to drop it..or convince judge to have mercy as its my first offence and I have a little baby whom I breast feed..
I am very scared.
.is there a way I can attend any counselling in this regard so that judge can see I want to correct and is working towards it and he shows some pity on me for my kids sake
.what are my options at this stage that it doesn't go on my record..
Pls help..
I am terribly sorry and is no way gonna think about it ever..I have learnt my lesson very hard way..
Thanks in anticipation..
