<prompt> Human: EDIT: Wow thank you so much for your comments ladies and gents. I am truly grateful. So it turns out that shes been caught up with bad company and used the money to help bail out a friend from jail who was arrested for fighting in a park. I truly would like to get legal involved, but I believe it will do more damage than good to her. She will repay me soon enough, but that will not be the end of it. A lot of changes will be made.I know I may have come across as oh this is the banks fault---but I know the root problem lies with my child. Thanks again!---My child just over 18 took my checkbook and wrote out a 500 check to herself without any authorization from me I found out after a regular review on my account online about 3 days laterShe went to BOA and used the ATM to deposit the check She has a BOA Account. Heres what bothers me despite the fact that she stole from me. She signed HER name on the check and did not even endorse it on the back. In addition, she was able to withdraw the 500 immediately after depositing the check. Prior to depositing, she had less than 10 in her account. Clearly this was fraud on her behalf, but the fact that you can just pick up somebodys checkbook and write out a check and get the funds right away via ATM is a bit outrageous. Here is an image of the checkAs you can see, she wrote the wrong month at first and scratched it off, and also made an error while spelling five. What should I do about this Reddit? I do not want my family member to get in trouble with the law, but the bank allowed this to happen via their ATMs. I didnt get much love from rask, so I came here.  <response>: If you dont file a police report then it is not fraud and you are allowing your daughter to have the money.
