Yeaaah, about that, Mom's sounding like she may not be wired completely right herself. (on the right track though...):
Lyons, 31, asked about collecting a $30 reward for turning in shoplifters but decided not to follow up because she felt bad about doing it. "People think that I set her up or something to get the reward," Lyons said.
Lots of little kids do it....I had a couple of my kids take things back to the store, but first talked with the manager and told them not to go easy on the kid. Even took my oldest grandson back to a store when he proudly came back from town with his uncle and showed me the great sucker he stole.....I put him back in the car and he had to take the sucker back...I paid for it, but wouldn't let him have it...told the guy behind the counter to throw it away as he had already started eating it...but he had to hand it over and apologize....
That leaves an impression on a little kid....
