Boy, 9, steals... mother takes him to police

[kwillia]

You go, mom!

A mother turned her 9-year-old son in to state police when she discovered he had stolen at least one item this month from the Target store near Lehigh Valley International Airport, police said.

The shoplifting happened around noon Feb. 1 in the store at 912 Airport Center Drive, Hanover Township, Lehigh County, state police at Bethlehem said.

Trooper James W. Rude talked with the boy at the state police barracks, but decided not to charge him on the condition he return the stolen property to Target in person.

Did something similar when we were at Disneyland. Got out to the car and realized my son (6) had taken a small toy from one of the shops...marched his sharp ass back into the park and made him return it. (was a big freakin hassle but it really was the only option to teach him it was wrong to steal)

I stole a Smarties candy when I was a kid. My mom walked my a$$ down the street back to the store by the ear screaming at me as I was bawling.Then when my dad got home- Needles to say, I never stole again...

My Mom made me return the flowers I picked for her out of a neighbors yard.

Good Job Mom, we need more like you!

When my daughters were in middle school, they tried skipping school...ONCE. My sister lived next door and was home from work that day, she saw them sneak back up the road to go home. She called me at work to ask if they were supposed to be home. When I got home from work that day I laid into both of them. The next day I hauled their butts into school and into the principals office. Told her they had skipped school. She had them so scared by the time I left, all I could do was laugh. She told them that I could go to jail if they didnt go to school. Needless to say, never had that problem again.

Now a day...

The kid would call CPS and you would be guilty until proven innocent. They would then hire an attorney and sue the principal and the school district for emotional damage!

The sadest part is that ALL OF THAT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE!!!
