Legal Question in Family Law in North Carolina

Sending cash in the mail was for lack of a better word - stupid. Sadly, you are most likely right, some complete jerk opened your daughters mail, pocketed the cash and tossed the cards. This would be criminal violations of state and federal law. From a legal standpoint, here's what you are most likely going to be able to do about it - nothing! The reason you aren't going to be able to legally do anything about it is because you have no proof who did it. Unless you can get someone to admit they did it either on tape, in writing or some other media admissible in court - you are probably going to have an extremely difficult time getting law enforcement or postal authorities to be able to help you. However, what you can do is let your daughter know that you and other family members who love her sent her cards and money and that some slimy piece of crap that most likely lives with her stole it from her. Your 15 year old daughter can probably do more damage to the thief than the court could anyway. In the future, send a check or gift cards with a pin # that you can separately and directly communicate to your daughter.
