"She's a kid Twan. Sometimes they have a hardtime communicating there actions and thoughts."
Well, this sounds like a perfect opportunity to assist them with that. I don't see how turning a blind eye is a solution here. It reinforces all kinds of negative behavior.
It really sounds like mom and/or dad needed to get involved in the situation. Stealing is not something to just blow off and leave alone. Not a good pattern to start.
like i said, it could have been addressed w/a talk. if the kid was hungry and now feels bad, she still doesn't know how to communicate her needs. i think it's a really fair compromise b/w the ends of, she's a thief and oh just let her have it.
