Ohio Mom Calls Police On Her 6 Year Old Daughter
What do you think about this mother who called the police upon discovery her 6 year old shoplifted a pack of stickers? The girl was taken into custody to he police station and all.
QUOTE COLUMBUS, Ohio -Â An Ohio woman who asked that police be called after she caught her 6-year-old daughter shoplifting a package of stickers said Wednesday that she was just trying to teach the girl a lesson early in life.
Diane Lyons said she doesn't believe she overreacted when she discovered the girl, Shiane, had taken the $3.11 package of stickers used to make temporary tattoos. An older 10-year-old daughter told Lyons about the theft.
Chief Ronald Yeager of the Carrollton Police Department in eastern Ohio arrived at the Discount Drug Mart Dec. 15 and took the girl to the police station in his cruiser before releasing her to Lyons.
Yeager told Lyons the girl sat quietly in the car on the way to the police. A phone message was left with Yeager on Wednesday.
"I don't think I went too far," Lyons said in a phone interview. "You've got to catch them when they first start if they do something wrong."
Lyons, 31, asked about collecting a $30 reward for turning in shoplifters but decided not to follow up because she felt bad about doing it.
"People think that I set her up or something to get the reward," Lyons said.
Lyons said she's seen parents give children a light spanking in similar situations but felt that wasn't enough in Shiane's case. She's confident the girl learned her lesson....

Daughter Year On Police Calls Mom Ohio
This mother is absolutely crazy. I would never do something like this to my own child. There are other ways to teach a child and let me tell ya folks, kids don't go around stealing, they learn it from somewhere or they're going through some hard times and they're looking for attention.

I do not think she over reacted. I would rather her call the police and let the police show the little girl it is wrong instead of her beating the child. I think another way of showing the child it is wrong is to have the child go back into the store and tell one of the store managers of her crime. Either way the child will learn it is wrong to take something without permission.
I do agree that she learned this from somewhere and I am glad that the girl was taught it is wrong.
