If your kid stole something, would you help in selling it?

Its already disappointing enough that a child would consider stealing from others, its more disappointing that a mother would even help her kids complete the wrong deed. No matter how desperate for money they may be, I don't think stealing can ever be justified. I don't think that mother should be allowed to bring up her kids anymore, they might be better off in an orphanage where they will be taught the right things to do and not the wrong one. The mother is the one pushing her kids to harm. If ever something like that happens to my kids, though I pray it never will, I will definitely make them return the item and apologize to the owner.I will make sure that they will get a punishment severe enough for them to never ever dare to do it again.

I would never help my kid sell something that was stolen. If I found out my kid stole something I would take him/her to the police to report what he/she did. If my kid still had the item that was stolen I would make sure it was returned to its owner. There are many parents out there that are just unfit to be parents, like the mother you mentioned.

If i will ever have children, i would never allow them to steal anything, let alone helping them sell a stolen item. Don't the children learn these sort of manners in school anyway?

Hi there, Well , in my opinion is that their mom is either not very rich or she is trying to cover up their mistakes cause she loves them too much instead of turning them in. Some parents are like that though they say they wont be like that but they will eventually be like that. This may be because they love their children very much and they care a lot about them therefore when they panic like if they found out that their child did something wrong they start to panic and try to help them cover up their mistakes. As for me , i will not let my children steal things as i know it is wrong and i will as them where they steal it and nicely bring them back to the owner and ask my kids to apologize to the owner. But if things turn ugly and the owner has made a report then i will go to the owner personally and as them to take back their charges and not make things big. Well, that is what i think , i don't have kids not so i cannot be sure if i will really turn my kids in. haha

Hi Agmamayo. No, I would never help my kids steal something or sell a stolen item. I have no clue why any parent would do such a thing, but I have heard of parents making their kids steal things, and I think that is terrible. A parent should set a good moral example, not encourage or take part in a bad one. Karen

After reading the above words, I think the mother is not a good mother. I don't know her motive to help her children to steal something and selling it. I think the government should take some measures to educate the woman and let her know her action is wrong. She should promise that she would never do that again.

In other words, the mother became the accessory to the crime. That is dismaying! I never thought a mentally normal mother would allow her kids to do bad things and even use them the stolen item for their personal gain. It is like a family of syndicate.

If the mom helped two things pop in my mind either she is a theif herself and she may have put them up to it. sad very sad because she is suppose to be the good example to prevent her children from doing such things like stealing and fighting or just being bad... well like the saying goes like mother like son... LOL

Thats a terrible mother to put her children in such a spot! She should have them taken away so that they can be put in a better environment so they can grow to be responsible and caring adults!

Hey, Well I don't really know what I would do, probably 'NO' since it is stealing in the first place but, I have no idea. Hopefully someone below me can answer your question, I wish I could. Anywayz I wish you well, have a great day MyLotting!!

This is the first time I'm reading a true story of mom encouraging her own children to steal! I wonder why she had to do that? Were they hungry or something? I really can't digest this news actually! Poor kids, not sure if there were forced to steal or otherwise. Everyone knows stealing is crime, then why do it? Especially parent whom supposed to be their children's role model! I don't know what punishment I would give if I caught my kids were stealing..

A good mother should not do this to the kids. As a mature thinking adults, the parents should implant high morals in children. If my kids stole something, I will not help in selling it. I will bring my child back to the owner and return the things back to the owner. Moreover, this is what the parents need to do.

Hi Agmamayo, NO I would never help selling something that does not belong to the person. I think that that women is a awful mother, and that she should learn how to teach her kids what is good and wrong.

hi, of course i will not help my kids to sell their stolen items.. y would i?? instead i will let them return it, and i will teach them that they did the wrong thing. i will let them suffer for doing that kind of thing..

I guess Mother or their family is in bad financial condition.Either they are desperately in need of money.I am not defending anyone here.Yes its her duty to get a good citizen out of her child.But circumstances may also be a player here .In case this happens to me Ill surely take measures to stop that instinct of my child (the stealing instinct) forever.

NO, im not that stupid to do such a thing. if my kids have done something wrong and stealing at that i will not tolerate it, even with little things. i am a disciplinarian, and am very strict with everything, if my kids have done something wrong its not tolerated, either they get a sermon from me or they get punishment. its really a sad thing that even parents now just let something like this happens and even tolerated it and become a part of the crime. instead of making it straight for their kids, she have tolerated what was done wrong. maybe they are so poor and needed the money badly.

we should not help this kind of act which make a bad impact on the child brain.
