My daughter says her friend borrowed a library book that I paid $7.25 fine on. I renewed the book upon paying the fine, and when we went to the girls house, she said she lost it. I went to ask her mother to be on the look-out for the book, because it was a library book that had to be returned ASAP. The girl's mother told me that she threw it away in the trash! :O It was a book about withcraft and spells and, as she had previously 'played around' with the likes, she knew what it was, and it "is not allowed in her house", so she threw it in the trash. I told her that I wished she would have called me, as it was a library book, that I needed to return, she stated that it didn't seem to have markings of a library book, that it had a print inside that was from a local bookstore that she knew to be for witchcraft materials, she threw it away. At the time, I wasn't sure we were speaking about the same book and asked her to be aware of another book laying around. I spoke with my daughter, and it is, in fact, the book the girl's mother threw away. I had to pay an additional $26. for the book at the library, and now my daughter is telling me that her friend that borrowed the book is telling everyone at school that she (my daughter) is a witch and cast a spell on the girl's sister. I think this girls mother should have called me to come and get the book. I want to send her the bill for the cost of the book? Can I do this through the local JP? I am upset that my daughter didn't grasp the idea of the book being her responsibility, but I can't believe this woman would just throw it away. Besides, from what this girl's mother told me, the rumors that her daughter is spreading about my child, is a misconception of what her mother told her about her own dealings with wicca. She is hurting my child's reputation with her peers in the neighborhood because of what she misunderstood from her mother.
