Today was a really tough day. It was raining hard. I went to the mall and then I have parked my car in the mall's parking lot. I was very surprised that some when I came back from the mall the car was open. I was afraid because some things are gone. I really have no idea who opened the car and who took those things. The important thing that was gone was the keys. I was very lucky because one of the mall's customer saw a child with keys on his hand and trying to fit it on everyone else' car.

We did get the trace of that kid and then we found out that he was with his mother. When we ask him where the key is he lead us to many places and played dumb with us. It was so annoying. If only the mother was not there I would have spank that child. I also think that the mother is the mastermind of the child. I really think that parents should be responsible for the behavior of their children as well.

At least no one got hurt.

In you're in the same situation. What do you do? Do you give punishment?lol

Hi There,

Now we can see many children stealing and they steal even from very young age. We the parents can do is give advise to the child and let them know what will happen if they get caught. We do not want our kids grow to be a thief. Parents and school education are equally important to make sure the kids are not going to steal for what they want.

Hi "marctiu", in my opinion I think children steal because of some reason. First of all, a person/child stole maybe because that is his/her illness. Second, maybe due to crisis around the world and poverty that these child is force to steal just to relieved hunger. It is true living in a big cities where you don't have worked is very hard to some parents to feed their children that's why and maybe this will be cause and no wonder you were one of the victim being stolen. However, a child/adult stole is still stealing and it must be tolerated. In some Arab countries a person steal the punishment is to cut the hand or finger(s) depends on the value of things he/she stolen. That's why these countries stealing case is extremely very low. Unlike some other countries in Asia if someone caught stealing he/she will only put in jail provided how much the worth he/she had stolen. After number months he/she will be freed again. So the situation is will just come and go, meaning if caught stealing put in jail and then release after sometimes. The doer will keep on repeating and repeating again and again. I think it should be the Government first who should take action and makes a seriously bills so that it will be more effective. In addition, I think the Government also should revised its penalties about stealing in your country so that thief will realized the consequences. Lastly the parents also must be the model to their children and that is of course their obligation and responsibility as a parents. Happy myLotting

Stealing in any form is still stealing. Who ever did it, it is still stealing. In your case, it would be appropriate to report to the mall security so that they can give the correct actions. Normally, parents are the ones who had given the reprimand about their child's behavior. They would also knew if the parents are behind this unscrupulous act.

What I would do would depend a lot on the child´s age. And in my country it is unthinkable to leave the keys in the car. We leave our cars closed and take our keys with us. Even more, if we have any thing that could be thought that is of value, we put it away in the trunk of the car. We take away thew radio and place it where is not seen.
I´m very sorry about the tbad experience you had. I imagine that after this you will not leave the keys inside your car. It can even be stolen by teenagers.
Take care!

firstly i talk with him if he accepts, i leave him with a warning but if he again do this than i give him any hard punishment because some time punishment makes you a good person in life. have a nice day.


myLot reputation of 97/100. rjvb26 (471)   ranked 427 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  1 month ago

yeah you are right but make sure you give a positive punishment, because if you do very bad punishment, put the law into your own hands and something bad happens to the child. I assure you, the law will be looking for you, it is still a child LOL. You'll be in jail for that, no matter what the child did to you, it is still a child and it is on the law. happy mylotting

If I were you, I would tell his mother how serious this case is for a child, which type people would his child grow up to be.

If this child lead us to many places just for playing and his mother do nothing, I doubt it's just because of his mother's connivance to his son,she's not a qualified mother, I won't spank his son, but I would call police.


myLot reputation of 81/100. pengbubu (554)   ranked 3,820 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  1 month ago

I agree with you. Firstly we should talk with his mom, and see how is his mom behavior. Kids is kids. Maybe he don't know how serious it is, and the mother is the one who should teach him this.

Personally speaking, I don't think spanking the child by yourself is a sensible way. It's the parents who should responsible for the behavior of their children. So if someone should be punished for it, it should be the parents, not the child. If my child does something wrong, I would punish them in order to let them learn lessons. Such punishment only apply to children who are too young to know the rules. When they grow up, they will gradually know whether their behaviors are correct or not.

You cannot blame the child. The mother is the one to blame she should be of aware what his son or daughter is doing.

you certainly can not spank a child,you should talk with he mother,because her child behavior to bring you some trouble,this is a serious issue is related to children education.

Ang tigas ng nanay nun ah! O well i think i will asked the police to do their thing, and asked them to put the mother in jail. The child is still a child, if they were raised to be like that, it is not their fault it's their parents. If they were asked by their parents to do that, of course they will do it because their parents told so. That is why, i will punish the child by means of getting her mom into the prison.

Hi Marctiu,

This is really very difficult situation and we can not do
anything the child because child mother was there, this is really
difficult condition and also we can not do because this is our
mistakes that we have lost our car key. So at least you have to happy
that the child did not stole anything in the car and may you have lost
the car key and would replace that key with duplicate key. So you
have to careful now to take care of your key all the times. With regards
to child this is absolutely the mother responsible and the mother would
teach the kids good habits especially how to behave in the public places.

Have a nice day.
