My son is 15 and was stopped for shoplifting an item costing less than $6. He has never been in any trouble before. A corporate policy on shoplifting states no charges if under 16 and the merchandise is less than $25. Also they are to call parents first and wait an hour before calling authorities. She never called us and contacted the police before even asking his age. Now we have a summons to appear and a lawyer is charging $750. Do we have any recourse against the store concerning internal policy violation? We feel our son was treated unjustly due to an employee unfamiliar with the company policy.
