breach of trust

I would be interested in the collective wisdom of both the Girl Scout and
Boy Scout members of this list on this matter.

My wife is helping out my daughter's Girl Scout troop. They just confirmed
today what they had begun to suspect a week ago, that is, one of the girls
parents has kept the money for 177 boxes of cookies they sold. They were
supposed to turn it in three weeks ago. The lies began two weeks ago and
they finally got an admission that neither the cookies or the money would
be forthcoming today. The father is out of work, money is tight, etc. etc..

The bottom line is this wipes out the profit for the cookie sales for this
pack this year unless they get the money back.

I would be interested in how others view this and what course of action you
recommend. Criminal action, civil action, newspaper/tv publicity, etc. How
have others handled this in the past?
