Well, for anyone who followed our check forging saga, we are at the end of our final chaper with respect to OUR little book.

DH was able to talk with the bank manager. He brought the negative balance of around 37$ (charges) to "zero it out", and today closed the child account that Feral Forger used to cash $600 worth of her mothers checks.

The bank told him that Feral Forger, if she doesnt pay back the bank, will not ever be able to open a bank account, anywhere. She currently has 3 that we know of even without the child account that was just closed.

So, everyone who commented, a huge thank you. Your questions help me figure out what we need to do and what questions we really need the answers to.

Some new developments and information as well as a few threats added for extra flavor.

Sorry folks, if this is getting boring and old.

Dh just informed me that he was JUST notified that money did indeed come out of the bank to cash the checks that Feral Forger endorsed, after all. The bank, naturally wants its money, and of course, since he has a checking and savings and his name is on the "child account", they want HIM to cover, and tried to block the accounts. Somehow he is not being required to cover it and he just closed the checking and savings, and has all his cash intact.

Back at mommas grungy apartment. All is good now.

After her failed attempts at forging and cashing 3 checks stolen from momeee, she has apologized, admitted that she is an addict (we dont know what...) and they will work together (momeee and Feral Check Forger) to rehabilitate her (how exactly?).

DH, his take on things is "she is still my daughter, and I care that she is not homeless, on the street and/or shacked up with bad people. At least I know shes somewhere safe."
