dustjunky... I think what this woman did is ludicrous. Whether your son was hitting anyone or not (I'm leaning towards the "not" side of the fence on that one) her actions were unjustified. If this happened to one of my daughters I would have brought out the claws too. Good for you for standing up for your son.
With that said, I somehow managed to scan through the entire 32 pages of this thread (apparently it's a slow day at work). I know you're wanting Aunt Shelley to learn a lesson from this, but one question continued to haunt my thoughts as I read page after page... what about your son?
Have you sat down with your son and made sure HE has learned from this? Specifically about the consequences of stealing, lying, being sneaky, and being accountable? I'm afraid that from what I've read so far, all he might learn from this is how to exact revenge.

Very well put
