My 16 yr. old son, was hired as a cashier in a local chain store, he was only trained 3 hours, then told to work alone on register. His second day of work, he was informed, his drawer was $110 short. countless times during his shift, another employee, would make a drop, (take excess money from drawer). He also was not the one to balance drawer at the end of his shift, he took it to the office, where 3 women, do the balancing. Now he has been accused, and questioned, numerous times, about his knowledge of the missing money? He knows nothing, and is very upset by this, This is his first job experience, being 16 yrs. old. and it has made him feel horrible, guilty, while innocent. No one knows him at this store, he'd only been there 2 days. He didnt have the chance to establish himself, or his character, in 2 days, So his manager, would say, "Oh , its ok, we know YOU wouldn't have done this." He was the new guy! I feel he was set up, big time. There were many people with there hands in the till, and access to this money. The manager hasnt let it drop, and I received a phone call from, someone, without a "last name", who claimed to be from the loss prevention department, who questioned me, about my son, and the missing money??? What can I do about this? My son, has been depressed, can't study, he feels like he's been wrongly accused, and can't prove hes innocent. Hes been under severe emotional strain, since this. I must inform you, his employer, also permitted him to sell cigarettes, at 16 yrs. of age, when it is illegal for anyone under 18 in Ohio, to buy cigarettes, is this legal, I really need to know about the cigarette issue? Thanks.
