If you read the whole post, it sounded like his daughter was developing a serious case of kleptomania—a lot more serious than a one time theft of a candy bar or something.
My son, too, stole a couple of things. The first time, I marched him back to the store and made sure he saw me giving it back and explaining what had happened (he was not talking at the time yet). The second time, he stole from the store where I worked, and his dad brought him in to return the item.
If it takes a trip to the police station to cure the kid of stealing, then that’s what it takes.
Fine for your opinion. Mine is one that says it isn’t. She’s 7. Maybe the problem is with the parents? Just a thought.
Read the whole post? Are you serious? Even the excerpt is too much for some folks to read. Others hit the *post reply* button after the first sentence!
Yeah, this parent was wholly negligent in finding a way to teach the child that theft is wrong after numerous unsuccessful attempts.
