The victim's wallet was stolen when someone broke into his car, authorities said.
When he met with Robinson, he showed her unauthorized credit card charges at McDonald's, Wawa and Walmart.
Robinson questioned her son, who at first denied knowing about the charges. Robinson found receipts from McDonald's, called the phone's owner and learned that the amounts matched the unauthorized charges, WBBH reported.
Robinson called police, who showed her video from one of the stores where the stolen card was used. She identified her son and two other teens.
"I want him to learn that (he's) got to be responsible for his actions," Robinson told WBBH.
Salters was arrested and charged for his role in four car burglaries. The cars were unlocked and police said Salters took items from them.
Robinson said she wants to ask a judge to order house arrest so her son can't leave the house again.
