This “Mom”, whose name is being witheld, apparently taught her 21-year-old daughter to steal, and now the duo is teaching her 9-year-old son the family trade. The three were caught after stealing from a Target in New Jersey.

Apparently, mom and big sister would hand off merchandise to the little boy, who then concealed it under his jacket. $430 worth of clothes, electronics, and toys.

Does anybody see a pattern here? Oh, and the best part is, Mom and sis got a summons and were released.

Still another shoplifter using a child to cover their misdeeds!! This is sickening. A grandmother steals clothing and hides it in her 4-year-old grand daughter’s baby doll stroller. Fortunately, this judge thought this was serious enough to make sure the grandmother spends some active time in prison. It may be only a month, but at least it’s something other than a fine.
