Legal Question in Criminal Law in Utah

Is it illegal for an adult to pawn an item for a minor without their parents consent? My son has an expensive camera and needed money so he asked a lady we don't associate with to pawn it for him. He's only 15. She never called us to let us know, she just pawned it and gave him the money. We called her angry and took her to the pawn to pick up the camera. The pawn shop said there's nothing the police can do, but I feel violated! Is there anything at all we can get charges filed on her for?? Thank you.
