“So this is extremely embarrassing but you know what? I DON’T CARE! My son (5-years-old) stole a pack of bubble gum from Walmart yesterday. At first he lied about it & said he got it out of my car & I knew he wasn’t telling the truth because I don’t chew gum! He finally told the truth but you know what I did?
I called the police. Yes. You read that right. I called the police on my 5-year-old son.
Want to know why? Because I REFUSE to raise a child that gets away with telling lies & stealing!! Did I overreact? Maybe so. But my point is if that you grow up getting away with telling lies & stealing then it gets far worse as you get older.
Guess what happened to him today?? He had to go back to Walmart & ask for the manager & apologize for his actions. Do I feel like a ‘bad mom’? Absolutely not!”
Here is the mom’s original post which has been shared widely since appearing on Facebook:
