off other people, or would that not really bother you.Well, there are a few people that i do not trust in my house, that is adults as well as children.If you had heard and also seen a person that is a friend pinching off other people or trying to sell another persons property, would you want anything to do with them.Also if you know a child that is a friends child had stolen and is still doing the same would you have the child or the mother in your house, knowing that the mother do not make the child return the things to the people that they have stolen from.

No, I would not associate with people like that. The same thing with a child and what about the father? Maybe there is no father?

This person needs help! You need to go to the authorities so they can get her the help she needs.

Oh, that kind of pinching! I thought you meant physically pinching others. Gheez! lol You can go to jail for buying stolen property as well as having it! My grandmother told me that you are who you hang out with. And it is very disrespectful to steal from neighbors or friends. If I saw this I would tell the person either the stuff went back or I told the authorities.

I definitely would not want anyone, young or old in my house that I could not trust, especially with our things! My nine year old daughter had some money go missing once just after a friend of hers had been over for a play date. My heart sank at the mere suspicion that this child may have stolen from our house and I was ever so thankful when we found the money and I became very ashamed of suspecting the girl in question.

No I would not want that person around me, as trust is something that I value a great deal. A parent who does not show a child that things should not be taken will someday learn a very hard lesson as the child will then move on to bigger type of crimes. Allowing the child to keep the stolen items to a sense is encouraging them that it is okay to steal.

It is hard when you cannot trust people. I don't want them around because I cannot relax. They make me very anxious and I am constantly watching what they are doing. It is hard to be friends with someone like that because friendship is based on trust.

I surely dont want to have anything to do with that kind of people. let alone letting them in my house. I dont know I can trust that kind of people to stay in my house.
