my husband picks up a local newspaper every morning from a

vending machine on our the way to work.the other morning,the girl who

appeared to be about six was in front of him in a line, buying a paper for her

mother, who was sitting in the car. the… child put money for one paper in a

slot and took two newspapers! my husband said to her, “oh, is this two-for-

one day? ”the child did not reply. she just took the two newspapers to her mother.

this is stealing, pure and simple. i wonder what this mother is going to

think when her daughter becomes a teen and gets arrested for shop-lifting

at a mall? i suppose she’ll wonder where her daughter got an idea that it is ok

to take something without paying for it.

the mother missed an_opportunity to teach her child right from wrong. if

the child took an extra newspaper in error, the mother should have instructed her

to put it back. however, if she put the child up to it – shame on her.
