Freeport, Whoo-hoo!
Just send them a bill for the materials!
And librarians have the nerve to act so offended when people wonder why we pay them so much to do so little.
Frankly, this disgraceful wave wave of overdue books must stop.(Damn that George Bush. This is all his fault!) Mowing down a few family pets at the wrong house with M-16 fire should frighten the peasants into returning those books and CD's NOW.
That'll show all the other preschoolers embarking on a life of crime that they don't f**k with the Government.
I bought two Kindle Touch’s, one for myself and one for my son. Best part is I can delete any downloaded e-book on either from my PC or my Samsung galaxy smartphone.
Or return unauthorized purchases.
This is getting ridiculous. We see police called with pepper spray and tasers for kids who act up in kindergarten and now this.
We really have become a police state.
What is the matter with her parents? A 4-year-old is not going to be able to trot on down to the library alone! Not to mention that using the jack-booted thugs against a 4-year-old is overkill.
Fixed the idiotic headline. The 4 year old isn't old enough to accept a certified letter nor is he/she old enough to pay the fine or drive to the library. He/she is a minor. The police and the library went after the parents. Is it any wonder we can't get the real story on the faker in the WH when the msm can't print a silly overdue book story accurately.
My daughter was arrested and spent several nights in jail in Texas for not paying her library fines. She still has the book too.
I guess I read the story a little differently. It seems to me that when someone checks out library books (in this case, the mother, not a four-year old) and keeps them for 7 months, the items cease being overdue and become stolen. The police arrived to compel this irresponsible mom to return the property she had essentially stolen from the library. She should consider herself lucky.
If I walk out of Barnes and Noble with books that I stole for my toddler, the police wouldn't show up at my door asking me to return them. They'd show up at my door with handcuffs.
I wish our admin would get on board with stricter rules.
When someone takes off with a $1000 dollars worth of my tax payer DVDs, I want them back.
Right. now, if you don't bring your stuff back after a few weeks, we send a bill for the items, plus fees. The bought the things.
Oh oh! A four year old against the Freeport, PA Police Dept. Let’s see, she already has a higher IQ than the entire force, cuz she can actually read a book. The Freeport Police Dept still can’t locate downtown Freeport on the map, so I don’t think the’ll be able to locate this little criminal. Who knew Freeport had a library, unless you consider the magazine rack at the local market a library?
Any book you return, you’d better get a receipt complete with titles listed. These incompetent boobs will more than likely lose the books and have you “SWAT teamed”.
You should love your police state.
