    Shoplifter Left Something Behind

    I came upon a couple of police cruisers outside one of our stores. Their office was in a riot when I went in to see what was happening.

    Apparently, they caught a woman shoplifting and began escorting her to the office, which is near the front door. She bolted and made it to her car and took-off. I don't know if she still had the stuff she was trying to steal or not. But that doesn't really matter; she left something else behind with the Loss Prevention Team;

    Her 5-year old stepson.

    Because the poor kid didn't know an address, name or anything, I believe child services came to take him.

    At least they got a good picture of her on camera and a make on her car. What a bitch!

    If at 5 years old the poor kid couldn't give the officers anything to figure out where he lived, I can only say that child services may end up being the best option for the kid...

      When I saw the title, I figured a kid was left behind. Does that make me cynical?

      I agree with Geekus Rex. My autistic 8 y.o. knows my name and her daddy's name (and she'll occasionally will call us by our first names, not on purpose, just a slip, but I don't mind). Still working on the phone number and she remembers our street name, not house number.

      But yeah, that's bad. And it's incredibly sad.
      And you're welcome (in regards to my avatar).

        What an ass. And a shame about the kid not knowing any contact info. When I was 5, I wandered away from home, intent on finding my dad at the local lumber yard. I got lost and ended up a few miles away downtown. A shop owner spotted me and called the cops. I was able to give Mr. Officer my name, parents name, address and phone number, so he took me home. Mom always made sure we knew contact info in case we got lost in a department store, but it comes in handy elsewhere too.

          So does this mean the police will add a charge for abandoning her child to the list? I hope so

            Somehow I don't think step-mommy will get that kid back.

            He doesn't know it yet, but he's already ahead.

              Since it was just step mommy, can't the kid go back to real mommy? I hope so, and I hope real mommy is better.

                  One of the first things I did with my stepkids was post their full addresses and phone numbers in their rooms (first at the apartment we were in, then in the house hubby and I still live in now). They were each already 10 years old when we all got together (at different times) but especially in my stepson's case, I really don't know how much that kind of thing was ever impressed on him before, even though I think my in-laws did their best with him while his dad was working. Also, I think he may have some level of Asperger's and that didn't help him remember stuff.

                  That poor little boy, having a stepmother like his and a father who is either too stupid to realize his wife is a thieving bitch and bad parental figure, or doesn't care.

                    Hopefully his daddy will come looking for him, but only so that he can give the authorities his wife's name, so she can be put away for a long, long time. The child? Either with mommy if she's a fit parent, or with child services. Poor little boy.

                      It's very sad because I predicted everything that happened in this thread before I clicked it.
                      "I bet it's a kid, and I bet he didn't know any of the info the police needed."
                      I don't understand it. I see so many kids at work who don't even know their own last names.
                      It makes sense.

                        I have a coworker whose 14 year old doesn't know their telephone number, her cell number, the address they live at, OR the cross street to get to their house. How did I find this out? She was bitching about the cops bringing home said child at 3am because he wanted to ride his bike and got 6 miles away from the house. Cops weren't very happy and she said she was going to fight the fine and ticket they gave her.

                            how many times have you known exactly were somebody lives, but not their address? Me all the time... even now... I can drive there, give you directions on how to get there, and still have no clue what the actual 123 mainstreet address is...
