UConn James Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Your heart was in the right place, but given the parents lack of concern, getting the police involved would've been better. Maybe the little turd-burgler would've gotten scared straight by this minor offense before evolving into something more major ... Re: the parents' unwillingness to help the kid... It may be laziness/nonchalance, but it may also be that they wanted the kid to be arrested b/c this wasn't the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 If I was your boss, I'd can your ass. Or I could just have my boss canned for going on 45 minute "cigarette breaks" on top of his 30 minute lunch, and frequently leaving a single customer service representative to run the store.

SageAgainstTheMachine Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 Thanks for the comments everybody...I'm aware that $8 is pretty small potatoes in the shoplifting realm, but it's still a pretty tricky moral dilemma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there is a right or wrong in this case...I would have likely done what you did... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
