What does this have to do with anything that affects the lower Shore area ? This crime took place in Wilmington, DE and is probably one of hundreds of shoplifting cases reported each day. We have enough serious crime here-- and you do a great job of reporting it. What's with all the New Castle County,DE news the last week?
ReplyDeletewhite trash there!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fine example these mothers are setting for their children! Oh, that dripping sound you hear? That's sarcasm.
ReplyDeleteLove the mug shots out of DE.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to thank Ms. Adams for {allegedly} making even me look dignified.
ReplyDeleteYou wonder why kids are the way they are these days, look at the parents. Around and around we go.
ReplyDeleteHow much you want to bet that the child welfare people let them keep their kids?
ReplyDeleteIts a sad statement about our society but many stores where I live have signs absolutely prohibiting strollers-which tells me there are alot of so-called mothers using their kids to steal stuff.
ReplyDeleteFine parenting indeed.
