Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

You have asked this same question at least five times and you have received several answers from several knowledgeable attorneys, so I am wondering what is it that you want that you are not getting. I think I know. You want someone to tell you what it is you want to hear. You want to hear that everything is going to be all right, that you will receive some kind of sympathy or slap-on-the-wrist sentence because you are a "first offender" and life will go on for you the same as before. This is not the case. You are a thief, and in all probability soon you will be a convicted thief. Applying for jobs will be an exercise in futility for you for many years to come if not forever. You will be on probation, and you will find the requirements difficult. You will need to hire babysitters so you can attend meetings or programs. You will have to pay fines and fees. Using your child as a prop to hide your stealing was child abuse, and I would be surprised if you don't get a knock on the door from the DCS social workers. I hope things work out for you and if there is anything that I or the other attorneys haven't covered, please feel free to ask your question again and again.
