Loss Prevention Is Not Sales Prevention

Browsing Posts tagged shoplifters abandon kids

Two unidentified Ohio women were charged with multiple counts, including Armed Robbery, Reckless Driving, Child Neglect, and Fleeing and Eluding after they shoplifted from JC Penney in the Green Oak Village Place mall in Green Oak, MI on January 30th.

One of the subjects attempted to escape in a vehicle, and hit two other vehicles in the process. She was located by Green Oak Township police after she attempted to flee on foot after crashing into a parked car.

The other subject fled on foot from the store, leaving behind her 7-year-old son. She was apprehended shortly afterward nearby. The boy was cared for by police and store employees until the boy’s grandmother took custody of him.

Here we go again, gang. These losers stole from JC Penney, then endangered innocent bystanders and damaged others’ personal property while trying to save their own cowardly skins. What’s worse, this so-called mom ran away to save her own hide, leaving her own 7-year-old son behind in the store to fend for himself.

Now, I’m sure the boy is probably accustomed to taking care of himself with a mom like that, but this is just ridiculous. I find it unbelievable that this child was not taken out of this home.

This is definitely a story we’ll keep our eye on and update you as we get more information. If you have further info on this case, please contact me.

There are two more stories in today’s news that involve idiot parents who made the choice to take their kids shoplifting. In both cases, when the parents were approached by store loss prevention, they fled and left their kids behind. And, in both cases, the kids were placed in extreme danger.

In the first case, Gerardo Rodriguez, 24, and Yanira Camargo, 22, were allegedly shoplifting at Kohl’s in Fillmore, CA, with their 4 year old daughter in the shopping cart. When they attempted to exit, they were approached by store loss prevention agents. At this point, they both ran away, leaving their daughter in the cart in the parking lot. According to police, the little girl was then almost hit by a car traveling through the parking lot. The two cowards got away, for the moment. The little girl was placed with a guardian by police.

Then, there is the case in Brockton, MA, where Jose Capeda-Irizarry and Leyda Meried Lopez stole two televisions from the local Walmart by placing them into their infant’s stroller. When they were approached by loss prevention, Irizarry ran off with the stroller, baby still inside. He ran through traffic, but then abandoned the stroller and baby to save his own skin.

Both sets of so-called parents left behind their own kids in order to avoid being charged for shoplifting. Both of the children in these cases could have been injured or killed because their parents chose to leave them behind so they could escape after stealing from a retailer. Can anybody say, “Wreckless endangerment”?
