Michelle, your reasoning is questionable and the analogies you make do not make sense. Hopefully, your post is fictional.
|
Actully this really happened the big monsters actually treated my child like a criminal, the other boy whom my son was withn was not arrested and he is ten years old. He is older than my son. They just gave him a warning. My son was discrimated against. My son the younger boy of the two was discrimated against. Their excuse this was his second time and the other boy's first time. I would not be surprised if that ten year old had a parent/sibling at that store and that is why he got off easy, I would not be surprised to find out that the store manager was his mom.
|
Good lord how many spoofed nics do we need in one week. Yes, Michelle your story is true and you never posted on M3C until today.
|
A friend of mine told me that my3cents is good at contacting and making public companies that try to screw them.
|
Amen Stew. Michelle I sure hope that this is a fake story because if it is true, your child needs to be taken away from you. You obviously don't know how to be a mother.
|
Michele you should be ashamed of your yourself and your son instead of condoning his actions. the reason he stole the second time is because nothing happened the first time. Thus, if there are no consequences, a person doesn't learn from the experience. The mother of the other boy should never let him hang with your son again; he, and you, are not good role models. The store was justified in the actions they took. For your information, stealing is not a normal 9 year old phase, it's an indication that this boy is headed for bigger problems if Mommy doesn't stop justifying his actions and allowing him to feel things he brought on himself ... more >>
|
Michelle, IF this is true (I hope it's not), then you have ALOT of nerve complaining about Walmart having your son arrested for stealing. It's because of people like you that society is the way it is today. You are truely one evil person.
|
Your son needs a good spanking and YOU need some training on responsible parenting. What an idiot you are! I support Walmart in their ban. I don't want to have to shop in the same store that you shoplift from.
|
Let me ask you a question, Would you rather of had your son scared now or wait until he was 15 or 16 and be facing jail time?? I went through the same thing when my son (now 9) was 7 and he hasn't done it since. It is true, they were doing this to scare him, but it was only to teach him a lesson. If he would have been 16 he may have been facing jail time and there would be nothing you could do about it. My son stole some candy and I caught him before he could leave the store. I told him to take it back to the greeter and apologize. He did and I asked the greeter to call the police. I wanted to scare him and to teach him that there are ... more >>
|
9 year olds are old enough to know better. good he should have been arrested it will teach him a lesson, I highly doubt he'll ever do that again
|
"Oh, the games people play now. Every night and every day now. Never meanin' what they say now.
Never sayin' what they mean. And they while away the hours In their ivory towers Till they're covered up with flowers In the back of a black limousine. La, da, da, da, da, da, da. La, da, da, da, da, da, dee. Talkin' 'bout you and me. And the games people play."
|
Michelle, I can only pray you get the mental help you so apparently need.
|
Wow this place gets interesting at night. Although this smells of troll, I will add that Wal-Mart has always had a "take no prisoners" approach to in-store crime. They will call the police and they will prosecute. They also have one of the lowest shrinkage rates in retail - the professional crooks tend to pass them by.
|
This is a joke...right? Nobody could be this stupid, could they?
|
If this is serious I think we need to pray for the son. I must say I stand behind the tough tactics policy however. If a kid steals, he should be scared... if not by security, then by his parents. If he steals again, he should be arrested. Teach him early on.
|
Zachary, you attend to your posts and I will attend to mine. I don't need your advice on how to deal with bad parents.
|
I'm speechless.
|
Lady, not only did you indirectly admit that this wasn't your son's first offense, you're also admitting that you don't think it was wrong for him to steal something from a store. Also, how is the store "stingy" for arresting you for stealing a 68 cent item? Stealing is stealing. Period. No matter if you steal a pack of gum or an ipod.
|
I cannot believe what I just read. What kind of mother would believe it's ok to let her 9 yr old son steal, no matter how much it cost? At this rate, if this mother doesn't change her thinking, that child will be in prison by the time he's 18.
|
Let's keep the comments civil and productive here. Nobody wants a 9-year-old felon on the loose.
|
I applaud the poster. Economic justice will only be achieved when wealth is equally distributed among the masses. Shoplifing is but one way to end abuses by greedy merchants who abuse a proletariat entitled to goods and services, but are simply unable to afford them.
|
I gotta disagree, Doc. Children must be taught at an early age, that you get out of this life what you put into it. Hard work and determination (and some luck) lead to success! Petty theft leads to only to trouble. (tr)
|
Kids that don't shoplift are being abused by their parents? This HAS to be a fake post. No parent would say such a thing and mean it. She's ignorant or it's a scam.
|
Roll over Ma Barker, The Connerys are in town!
|
No wonder you kid steals... he sees his mother do it. I don't feel sorry for you at all, but I feel sorry that your son has to live in your care. He needs a parent, not a criminal. It would be better for everyone (your son, especially) if someone would arrest you. I hope he has a father or other relative that he can look up to with some set of morals because yours insults humankind.
|
Well said tgtman. That kid needs a new mom.
|
Oh, and by the way, I was raised in a very NON-abusive household and I never stole anything - never went through that "common" phase. Instead of teaching your child that stealing is right, or that WalMart is out to get YOU, maybe you should teach him some self-respect by paying for the things you want. Of course, someone would have to teach you that, too.
|
POSTED BY MICHELLE CONNERY: "I want also want you to revolk my one year ban from your stores and a gift card to temp me to go to your stores again." WHAT A JOKE! You actually think that a company that you stole from is going to bend over backwards for you, roll out the red carpet, and celebrate your return? Let's see, you stole from us, but I want you back in my store! Okay, I'll give you a $50 gift card for your "TROUBLE" ... we would LOVE to have you back! IDIOT!
|
Your son stole from them. The other kid got away with it becuase it was his first time. Just like your son got away with it the first time. Your son has learned that it is okay to steal which it is not. Stealing is pretty old. Do not steal is part of the ten commandments
|
Two words for the poster: Lazy & Lousy. Sounds like you've had a past theft problem that kept you out of the store. You are too lazy to work and earn the money to actually buy something. And you want them to give you even MORE free stuff to get you shop with your five finger discount. And you are Lousy by makeing that acceptable to your child which you keep stating is only 9 years old. Old enough to figure out if mom can do it I'm supposed to do it too. I'm sure this behavior has been going on for a long time so little 9 year old may not be so innocent after all. Very sad at what he has to look forward to in the years to come. Hopefully not a... more >>

This is the best "humor" site I've found in ages!!! I love it!
|
Absolutely Delusional.
|
Wow, Michelle! You need help...
Here, let me help you with some good advice.
I'm sure that there is another Wal-Mart store that is within a short diving distance (or maybe, you could ask a friend for a ride since you probrably can't afford the cost of driving a car), that isn't likely to identify you as a 'banned customer'.
You seem pretty deserving to be able to get one of those nice new 42" flat screen TV's that look so cool in the electronics section, so you SHOULD be able to have one! Just have one of the helpfull Wal-Mart associates help you put the large box into your shopping cart for you, then merely puch the cart to your waiting... more >>

It is parents like you that scare the crap out of me. There is no way I would condone a 9 yearold for stealing. Remember whatthey do today when they are young could be worse tomorrow. So mom get agrip on reality correct your son before he does something much worse.
|
Stew - A friend of mine told me about the site.
|
Brenda - Are you a mother, them perhaps your child needs to be removed from your household because you are too strict.
|
Seav - After the incident my son needs friends, because the scared him. This is not really my son's friend but an older boy from school, my son was just showing off and they planned to share the cards, now my boy has a criminal record and he's only nine, this will remain on his name until he is 21. The other boy gets off. What kind of justice is that. ALso this son could be an child of an employes so maybe that is why he got off easy.
|
miantani - what is wrong with you, maybe you are hard on little children but I am not.
|
luckydave - You actually spank your children well maybe your kids need to be removed from your home.
|
crazyredhead - Your child needed to be removed from your home as well. How could you call the police on him. He did say he was sorry and you should have left it at that.
|
supersource - You don't arrest nine year olds period, they are too young to know the results of their actions, they are young and innocent and should not have a criminal record till they are 21 just because of greedy retailers.
|
spiderman2 - I am just trying to protect my son.
|
Huge - They do not need a take no prisoner policy, especially when it comes to nine year olds.
|
Sharka - You are right no one can be this stupid, but unfortunately wal-mart security is being this stupid..
|
Spartcs - It is not a parents job to scare the crap of thei kids but rather to protect them from preditors like the security guards.
|
Zachary - You are right, LuckyDavid is an idiot, however you are also an idiot, Did you even read my post before sending a link, I only "stole" the chocolate bar, because I wanted to prove a point that they were being stingy. I hope you don't do the same thing to your kids as red did to her son otherwise someone should take your kids away to.
|
misstina - Do you know how read,did you read the other comments before adding you idiotic rambling. I said I know that stealing is wrong. I just think they were to hard on a kid, he's not even ten yet. He celebrates his tenth birthday On September 12 however I am banned from their store so I can't even get him a gift or a cake.
|
cyndy - At 18 a person knows that stealing is wrong. At nine they are still learning the rules of society, while I teach him the best I can sometimes he does make mistakes, also it is my job to discipline him not walmarts and not the Manhattan Police Department's.
|
rhond - An abused child would not steal because they would be afraid of how their parents would react to them.
|
tgtman - For your recoord I hae never stolen before, and I only "stole" this time to prove a point. Get over yourself, read everything before putting your idoitic comments in.
|
zzrock -perhaps your children need a new mom.
|
tgtman - sometimes when we are abused as children it gets locked up in our heads and we get repressed memories, you don't remember it until years later. Perhaps this happened to you.
|
dealco- They owe it to me and my son.
|
ward- That is the problem if they arrest one kid they should arrest them both, especially since the other kid is older and more mature. Do his parents work at that store?
|
Dorcas- Read my other posts, I HAVE NEVER "stolen" before, read the other replies before you jump to conclusions.
|
ginnie- Do you think what those idiotic nazi security guards did was funny, first they prey on a nine year old, next they will result to drowning infants because a teenagerd mother does not want their family to know they were pregnant.
|
ginnie- That is if they are offered more money for drowning infants.
|
skifreak- I am banned from all the stores for one year, and the security guard has informed me that I can not go to any stores, nor can my son he can come with his father as long his father does not let him wonder around but he cannot come with me. It is not just this one store, and why should I not have to take advantage of their low prices because of an idiotic manager and secutity guard.
|
cy- I do not encourage stealing, I told him it was wrong, however this is my job not the security guards, I asked for their names but they did not give me their names, perhaps they too have something to hide, perhaps they are register child molesters and were trying to hide that.
|
Okay, Michelle.... There is now no doubt in my mind you are nothing more than a troll. This will be my last reply to anything you have to say.
A few parting words.... act your age, not your shoe size.
|
Hey, everybody... my3cents has a *wonderful* feature called the block list. Simply click on michelle connery's handle and click "block user" if you do not want to read any more of this garbage. It is clearly either a real parent posting a fake post, or a child bored during her summer break from school. Michelle, your replies are even more ludicrous and humorous than your original post. I just can't stop thinking about the one where you said "where will I get my son a cake?" Aww, your poor son. All of a sudden you are worried about him? It's called a BAKERY!!! B-A-K-E-R-Y... a specialty store which carries cakes and other baked goods...... more >>
|
tgtman- a bakery cost more. I always get my cakes from walmart.
|
maintani- stop emailing me thorught the my3cents features.
|
I know what Michelle is posting is rediculous garbage, but I couldn't help it. My son is 9 now and he does not steal anymore. I know a boy up the street from me who is 18 and has a criminal record that started when he was 8 for breaking and entering and theft. He is now 18 and has Grand theft auto and rape on his record and is going to prison, and his parents never did anything. They tried to protect him like you are doing with your son. It started with stealing candy bars and ended up with stealing a car and a womans security. I'm not calling you a bad mother just an ill guided one. I called the police on my son cause he was caught on... more >>
|
Yeah, michelle, I'm sure stealing cakes from walmart is cheaper than buying them from a bakery. Good point.
|
What do you mean children that don't steal are being abused by their parents??? What kind of rational thinking is this??
I never stole anything as a child. I saved my allowance and purchased the toys I wanted. My parents never abused me. They taught me wonderful values, and stealing is a crime, no matter what the amount of the item.
You have some nerve wanting to reward your son with a gift card for stealing.
|
Actually, Skye, I think she wants to reward herself for her superb parenting! LOL :)
|
Michelle, try this one....Baking a cake.
|
Zachary, you must be Michelle Connery's little "innocent" boy, huh? Defending your mom on my3cents... what a kid!
|
Michelle: your son IS a criminal. Not only that, but he's a repeat offender, which basically IS the definition of a delinquent.
Whether that's the result of bad parenting I can't say, but your idea that he deserves a gift card is some indication of your parenting sense.
Nine year olds DO get arrested, and by most state laws are considered to be able to know the consequences of their actions. Some states give life sentences to 10 year olds who commit felonies. Some states put 12 year olds in adult prisons. Your son needs to know that there are worse consequences out there than being yelled at. YOU need to know that your son is at this p... more >>
|
Gift cards are in the mail.
|
You belong in a nut house and your son belongs in juvenile detention...you said your son stole because he didn't have money, yet his mommy was right there and could have given him the money, like you said, he doesn't have to steal from your wallet because you give him money...If I was that other kid's parents I would ban him from being around you and your son for being a bad influence on him, since YOUR son was TEACHING him how to steal...they let your son off the hook the FIRST time he stole from them, yet you say it isn't fair that they let the other boy off on his first time...????...if the charges were dropped on your son, he wouldn't lea... more >>
|
I think you should take away your son's birthday...he already got his Pokemon cards.
|
You can always send your nine year old son to the bakery and have him steal his birthday cake..after all, it would be his first offense at the bakery and they should "let him off the hook"...and they would never dream of arresting a child on his birthday...so, there ya go! A free birthday cake.
|
However, If you really want to BUY your son something for his birthday that will be guarenteed useful in the future, how about buying one of those kids fingerprint kits...that way, when he gets arrested again, he can just give the police a copy of his fingerprints and save some time at the police station!
|
dealco- That is my son, my son does not post here.
|
debtbasher- A birthday only happens once a year, my son is not a criminal. Grow up.
|
Yes! Your son IS a criminal and so are you for allowing it.
|
Well Michelle maybe you should have remembered before both you and your son stole from Wal-Mart that birthdays only come once a year. Is what you are trying to say is that there are no other stores in your area that you have not been banned from that you can't get him a cake? Is there a reason why your sons father can't go to Wal-Mart to get the cake? When will you consider your son a criminal? He has already stolen twice.
|
dealco- I don't think zachary is defending Michelle, I doubt it. I think that you are referring to the post that he had made about miantani, I too have read some of her posts and find them rude and immature myself.
I do however agree that zachary is being immature about this, both should ignore each other and start posting more mature posts. I however very much doubt that Zachary and Miclelle are the same people or that Zachary is Michelle's son. I have read both their posts and it does not look like they are related to each other, or know each other. Then again I could be wrong, for all we know zachery and miantani could be the same pe... more >>
|
or perhaps - michelle connery could be the third account of the same person and hey use zachary and maintani to make their letter popular.
|
debtorbasher- Maybe while they were at it one of them could have stolen a formal shirt, pant and tie from the boy's department. It would come in handy when the kid has to dress up for his court date and look his best.:D
|
LOL...Jane.
|
It is people that think and act like you do, and condone and allow criminal behavior, that makes this world an awful place to live in. Not only is your son headed for the prison life, but you are as well, for thinking It is JUST a candy bar, and it was JUST a 9 year old. Starting with the small stuff gets bigger and bigger!
|
MY POKEMANS: i stole them from walmart
|
Am I wrong or does it say above every post box "please respect other members when posting your message" because I sure don't see that happening. GROUP HUG!!
|
"Both boys had stolen cards in their pockets when they left the store, my son was teaching the other kid to steal,"
This is why your kid was arrested and the other one was not. He was teaching another person to steal from this store, thereby compounding the problem for the store.
"I want the manager of the store and the security guard fired"
FOr what doing their jobs..they will probably get awards.
"I want also want you to revolk my one year ban from your stores"
You're lucky it was only that long, be grateful.
"and a gift card to temp me to go to your stores again."
You're joking right? You stole, your son ... more >>
|
LOL...why bother with gift cards at all, she and her son doesn't pay for what they take anyway.
|
WTF this has to be a joke, if not well Michelle, hear needs to get a reality check, and the best say for that would to have little "connery" removed from her home. I wonder where the father is in all this and what he thinks.
|
Mr. Mafia, Daddy Connery is most likely in prison somewhere....Like Father, Like Son...it's just a matter of time...if it's for real...
|
You are a horrible parent who is raising a liberal who wants the world to make excuses for his failures, like his mommy. I was caught stealing at age 6. A comic book that some older kids talked me into stealing because the manager of the store was my Aunt. She caught me and kicked me out of the store for life plus the swat to my butt. I went back in that store again. The kids from school would ask me why I never would go in the store and I was embarrassed all thru high school. I now own a security company and am the most trusted person I know. People can see the honesty in my eyes and leave me at there houses unattended to work. I thank my Au... more >>
|
I am sure you are right Debtorbasher, or perhaps they are divorced so she is trying to be the better parent, either way if this story is true than well the child need to be removed from her home so he does not end up in jail.
|
I must say, Michelle has too many replies. Infact I wonder if she is spending time with her son, instead of defending him online.
|
Please tell me you're joking. You ARE a bad parent. You responded by stealing to prove a point??? Are you stupid??
|
How can any person reasonably justify what happened here...must less want to have her child rewarded for bad behavior. No wonder he acts the way he does. Bad parent, BAD PARENT.
|
Wow, this review is still active? I figured it's be history by now!
|
Michelle Connery you are still stupid!
|
Your son was not innocent, He was a thief. You are a BAD PARENT period. Nothing more, nothing less. I have never shoplifted in my long life, When alive, my Mother would have KILLED me if I did!I knew that GOD was watching what I did and didn't need a security guard to watch me. Shame on you and shame on your Son. WALMART WAS RIGHT and you were and are VERY WRONG!
|
Lidman dont be so harsh on Michelle.
|
What should have been done (and too bad you can't) was Michelle should have been publicly flogged for the neglectful parent. And do you know abusive homes make a kid MORE likely to steal and committ crimes. Stupid lady get off welfare, get a job, and maybe you could pay for things instead of trying to steal. Too bad a vigilante didn't catch u stealing that candy bar and pump your head full of bullets.
|
And to the security and the manager, you guys rock :). You understand you stupid parent, that to become a security guard, I'm pretty sure you need a background check and some kind of fingerprinting done to confirm your identity. Well I guess being stupid is free which is why michelle was able to afford it :).
|
Your son was not discriminated against. Was he arrested for his first that he was caught? No, then neither was his friend. And your son was actually teaching another child to steal. Your son needs counseling and so do you. Especially since you think this is normal adolescent behavior. Then by going back and stealing a 69 cent candy bar you go back and teach your son its ok to steal. WOW, that is really smart. Walmart is not going to fire that manager or security guard. They are going to get thanked for doing their job so well. I hope they both get promoted.
|
This thread has more lives than an Evil Cat does! LOL!
A true M3C Classic, for sure!

I almost commented on this old thread ...By now the kid is hijacking cars and his mom serving time for grand larceny..

I can't believe this thread is still here!
I agree, DB. This is a classic for sure!
