I worked in a Department store in High School and once I saw this man with 3 small children walking out with a bag of diapers that I knew he didn't pay for, I said nothing. I realised that maybe he was doing it out of neccesity and I thought if he could afford them then he wouldn't be stealing. I didn't think getting arrested for shoplifting would help his family. I could have been wrong or right I don't know, maybe I judged him I don't know either. If he was stealing with his kids there he may have been desperate. Like I said I'm a pushover.

Twan - nothing. I still pay my PTA dues and help when I can, but I don't go to the meetings anymore. First of all, I expected a group of people working WITH the teachers discussing important things. Ours is just a fundraiser. Then they also changed the meetings so that working parents CAN'T make it - 3:00. So being that I am not an active member I just said nothing. Maybe they have some kind of policy I'm not aware of or something.

TG - I can understand the diapers. But you don't think it's more important to teach a kid not to steal than it is for her to have a non-nutritous munchy food? Not to mention, most of the students are just now running out of food. Those on food stamps got their groceries on the 1st of the month.
