They should be made to donate all their Christmas presents to some less fortunate children. And their next birthday presents also.

But at least the parent acted like a parent:

The relative contacted the children's mother, who got the truth out of them on Wednesday, and then contacted police.

What a lesson they are being taught...then again, kids across this country have been taught this for years....do whatever you want and get away with it because you're a "juvenile".
Personally, I'd like to see them charged and sent to Juvenile court where a Judge sentences them to community service helping to feed the homeless EVERY Xmas til they turn 18

I like this idea.

I stole once when I was 10. It was from a church bus. My father beat me. I didn't steal again. The police weren't called either on me for stealing or my father for beating me. ahhh...the good old days.

I never stole....seriously....because I had too much respect for my parents and I couldn't bear the thought of hearing "THOSE" words.....

"I'm so disappointed in you...."

Caitlin and I have talked about it....and she has said that she'd rather take a beating than hear...."I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed."

It's all about respect.....for parents, for neighbors, for friends, for people in general....there is such an incredible lack of respect in a fairly high percentage of people....if that were restored....by whatever means work....I think a lot of things would change.

DAMN RIGHT!

How about the parents taking off the belt and strapping the asses of those kids!

And yes, Jen is right when she said kids learn this crap on TV.
Not to mention how much detailed instruction is on the internet showing how to commit nearly any crime imagineable.
