ORLANDO, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - A mom from Orlando was hauled off to jail after a trip to Walmart. Orlando Police say 34-year-old Shanteria Baker took her eight kids to Walmart and had all of the children help her shoplift.
Investigators say Baker's children range in age from four to 18 years. Police say Walmart security "observed Baker along with each child make several selections of women's clothing, women's accessories, cosmetics and grocery items."
The kids placed the items into one cart while baker began to separate out the food items, according to her arrest affidavit. It also says that Baker had her kids pick out watches, take them out of their packaging and place the watches into backpacks they'd picked out. Baker paid for the backpacks, but not the watches according to her arrest affidavit.
OPD says Baker paid for some items, but when she and her family were stopped by store security on their way out the door, OPD says the family had over $1,000 worth of merchandise they never paid for.
Baker has been charged with one count of grand theft third degree and seven counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. If Baker bonds out of jail, the judge ordered her to not contact her oldest child, the 18 year old.

Oh not true. Hippies and trailer trash are also plenty fond of shop lifting. Like my parents...
If she just HAD to shoplift something, why couldn’t it have been birth control pills!
“When I want somethin’, man, I don’t wanna pay for it!”
Her oldest is 18..........do the math...............
“34 years old and 8 kids???”
A neighbor of mine had 8 kids at 34 and was never on welfare.
She eventually had one more.
.
I was expecting it to be a large economy-sized parasite, but close!
Are you saying Hippies and Trailer Trash can’t be named Shanteria?
Amish and Gypsy, no doubt.
So having 9 people on EBT is not enough for her?
Oh, 10 if you count the father! /s
When I was younger we had a burglary ring in the neighborhood that was made up of young boys.
They would break into houses and steal stuff. Strangely they seemed to always know when the occupants were on vacation.
Turns out they were all paperboys who delivered the local morning paper. People always told them to stop delivery on weeks when they left on vacation. Then they would burgle.
They also arrested the mom of one of the kids, who had organized the ring, and who was fencing the goods.
Cultural appropriation...you wassist!
Amish? Not this time.
Based on typical welfare rates, Shantyeria is struggling to live on about 75,000 dollars per year.
All kinds shoplift, including the help. I know WM workers. Sweet old white grandmas filch stuff in their purses, too. And meals on (shopping cart) wheels is very common, with empty wrappers shoved all over the place. Thievery in America is rampant.
There’s got to be one out there somewhere named “Cafeteria.”
The best one I ever saw was named “Debris.”
Truth in advertising right there.
Well, we all pay for that. We all pay in the form of higher prices to make up for shrinkage.
And speaking of thefts and shrinkage, some retailers have problems with their own hired help.
Perhaps yet another under-appreciated advantage for Amazon.
“Shanteria” sounds like a bowel problem.
I think “Shanteria” is a strange Cuban religion that worships William Shatner.
Be like in Calif. I think if the theft is under $950 then it is merely a citation, for misdemeanor. (Prop. 47)
Slick lawyer, get this theft measured by separate items, bingo she goes free.
