I had purchased brand new shoes for my second grade grandaughter. At school they kids were required to remove?

their shoes for some type of exercise program. Well to make a long story short my grandaughter came home and I said what %26quot;happened to your shoes, they don%26#039;t look like yours%26quot; The shoes were obviously more beat up and older than my g-d. Next day she comes home tells me %26quot;Grandma, Tracy is wearing my shoes.%26quot; I called the mother who was very non chalant, not friendly, agreed to check the shoes and call me back. No call for a week. I call back. She answers and states that she checked the shoes and they were her child%26#039;s. I am positive that the shoes my gd has are not hers and she is positive %26quot;Tracy%26quot; is wearing her shoes. What should I do?

talk to the principal of the school the mother obviously likes the shoes better and is lying to keep them.
Reply:Call the school? I%26#039;m not really sure how you%26#039;re going to be able to prove it, though.
Reply:I guarantee that Tracy Knows which ones was her shoes. You call up and talk to the teacher. You explain what happened and ask her if she will ask Tracy if they are her shoes. Sometimes when a parent isn%26#039;t around the kid will tell the truth if she trusts the teacher. If Tracy states they are her shoes their is nothing you can do about it but buy her some new ones.
Reply:Go and see the appropriate person at the school. You have to put her name on EVERYTHING she takes to school. I can%26#039;t tell you how many items I have written on with permanent markers and laundry markers. Every thing from drink bottles to swimmers but in 6 years havn%26#039;t lost anything yet. Too bad there are dishonest kids but it%26#039;s really nasty when parents are so dishonest and not there to help each other.
Reply:That would anger me, but unfortunately it happens all the time. I even had it happen when my oldest was an infant- parents taking home the wrong jacket, which just happened to be from the Gap.... know what I mean? I started sending her to school in play stuff, and when she finally insisted on %26quot;cool%26quot; shoes and clothes, I have written her name on/in EVERYTHING.
Reply:talk to the teacher. It may not help. Next time put her name in them. Some parents are like that and have no conscience
Reply:well there is probably nothing you can do about it. it%26#039;s going to be hard to prove they are her shoes. next time write her name in the shoes. along with all the other belonging. that way she will know they are her%26#039;s.
Reply:Go to the school, and check yourself, and if they r indeed your grand daughters shoes tell the little girl.
Reply:You can speak to the principal at the school and explain the situation (show him a receipt if it has a name brand and date to point out how new the other shoes look compared to the old shoes your GD was sent home with). Let him/her resolve it however they choose. Regardless of the outcome, make it a lesson learned and mark all of your granddaughter%26#039;s items from here out.
Reply:not much you can do. the best thing is to have your granddaughter give the shoes to the other little girl and get her some more new shoes and mark the new ones so it doesn%26#039;t happen again. I know that it is a sad thing but that is the way of it.
Reply:i do not know what you can do other then talk to the principal and explain the situation...... hopefully he can solve the matter and get thing straitened out.
Reply:I would call the school. Explain the problem that happened. You may not be able to get the shoes back, but explain to the school you DO NOT want your daughter at any point to remove her shoes during school. Remember to put little initials on the tag of the shoe. Maybe go to Tracey%26#039;s house and say %26quot;I was in the neighborhood and I think that I should just shoe you the shoes to make sure. Even show prof of purchase.
Reply:Sew her for the shoes. Get a lawer. Go over to her house. Demand money. IDK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reply:Show the woman for the receipt for the shows you bought. Explain to her that there is no way shoes can get that dirty in a day, and that the shoes Tracy has are brand new like the ones you bought. Tell her you would really appreciate if she gave the shoes back, you can also report the theft to the school and ask the teacher to send a letter home about clothes and shoes being taken home by the wrong student. Now, put her name in multiple places on all her clothing, and make sure it is not a removable tag. You don%26#039;t want this witch to scratch you g-d%26#039;s name off her clothes, replace hers and claim it is hers.





Also, have her put her shoes in a baggie at PE, so she will know if they are stolen.
Reply:the mother is lying to keep them.





the only thing you can do is, buy the grand daughter a new pair of shoes, and go to the school and complain. Let them know that you do not want your grand daughter to take off her shoes at school any more.
Reply:tell your daughter if they ever play it again to take back her shoes!!
Reply:contact the school, and write her name in her shoes next time
Reply:There really isn%26#039;t much you CAN do, other than putting your daughter%26#039;s name on the inside of her shoes and make sure SHE knows which are HER shoes and which aren%26#039;t.
Reply:well call the principal/teacher and see if it can be straightened out.


from now on, put her name on EVERYTHING
Reply:I would call the school. If you stil have the receipt you can show that as proof that you just bought them. I think the only problem will be you waited too long. I wouldn%26#039;t have given her a week to call back, by now the other shoes are probably worn more and it will be harder to prove they were new.
