8-year-old Caught On Video Stealing Packages In Florida

What a rotten little kid!

I find it hard to believe that an 8 year old can show up at home with thousands of dollars in packages and the parents didn't know. I may be wrong, but I would not be surprised if they were involved. I also don't think it's a good idea to let her get away with it. Of course you don't want to put an 8 year old in jail, but some sort of community service or some type of volunteer work would make her remember not to do it again.

maybe the girls parents told her to do it

They need to make THIS GIRL UNDERSTAND NOW how bad stealing is, teen yrs aren't far away.

this little girl is being used by someone older…sibling, neighbor kid, maybe parents….

Hmmm I'd say she was working for her mother.

I can remember breaking a neighbors window by accident. my parents made me go apologize and pay for it.. man it was hard but it worked wonders. kids today think the can do anything and get off with a good lawyer. take responsibilty its the only way to grow up.

Unfortunately, I have heard of parents teaching their kids to steal, giving them pointers, securing them with cameras for them to see if that's the particular item they want, etc. You see them walking into jewellery stores, department stores, and walking out with stuff at the parents instruction. If this is the case, then I think the parents should be charged, and the child should be in a loving yet authorative (sp?) foster home. Someone has to set her on the straight and narrow.

Like I suggested in my post, this seems likely, Cija.

She was working for Obama……………….. Taking from the wealthy and giving to those who don't want to work for their money.

We had a lot of packages go missing in my building, one day I came home early and was keying into my apt, when I caught my neighbor her giving her kids instructions to walk around the buildinga nd look for packages from "anywhere good" in their native language. I turned around to her and said right back to her in native language "You do know that stealing mail is a federal offense, right" – she was so stunned she grabbed her kids and headed back in to the apartment. Just because I am white, doesn't mean I am not bilingual! I called the cops, and they questioned her, but she claimed she knew nothing, but the mail theft miraculously stopped.

The girl is eight years old and therefore beyond the age of reason (7 y/o) and should have some action taken against her. She learned this behavior somewhere, perhaps at home. The parents should not only step up to the plate but should also be held accountable including restitution to the neighbors.

I would be very surprised if her parents or another adult aren't behind this. Children this age don't wait for packages to be delivered so they can steal them. And why is she not in school?? Where are the parents?

I agree tha th parents are involved and should be punished for the girl's actions nd repay the neigbors in form of volunteer work or buying gifts back in the same amount was taken.So she is out o school and this is wht she does for hobby. they need to show her face so kids can be aware of her with their belongings. What if they move to a neighborhood.Theyhav done this before.

It's very probable that her parents have put her up to this. Because no one is really going to punish an 8-year-old.

My keyboad misss keys.

They should put her in jail to scare her and hopefully she won't do that again… But I to think her parents are behind this the child should be punished or how else is she going to learn that stealing is wrong.

ha ha not funny! i wonder if you always worked for your money vargas. si si

they all need to file charges and that brat needs to be sent to a shrink —at the very least –

you mean the illegals

She was in school.. the thefts were happening right after the school buses dropped the kids off.. If you paid any attention to the video at all youd see the lady say she thought it was the high school kids when they got home from school.. but it happened when the elementary bus dropped off. As for the parents.. if they both work, they probably arent home yet.. Kids get home from school around here between 230 and 5pm. Or as someone else suggested the parents were in on it.

Her parents probably know all about it. They might be ones putting her up to it, because they know if they did it and got caught they would go to jail. Their daughter wouldn"t. Parents are probably selling everything on e-bay or at the flea markets. Lots of stolen merchandise at those places.

I think the neighbor lady with the home business that planted the camera should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for child packagephelia. Imagine the permanent anguish and mental torment the poor poor hewpwess underage little 8 year old beeby went through while opening and and consuming those mean old stolen packages. I am going to LAUGH AND SCREAM AND SHOUT SOOO HARD with pure jubilant joy when I see them throw that lady in a cell with Bubba the back door ram and then castrate every loose dangling appendage on her. Whew! Aren't you glad you can tell I'm not a psychotic child rape mental case? Whew.. now back to work at Venus Acme CEO Tyler Moore incorporated. "I'm Going to MAke It On My Own"… Ohh! here comes another one. gotta run! (HEEEWP! – HEEEWP) – Mrs. Boop

an 8 year old knows enough not to steal, even prompted by parents. id suspect too they are involved. id let the stealing brat rot in a jail cell.. ALONE. overnight. id bet shed never steal again. and if the parents are in on it. for shame. I hope you rot in prison and her grandparents are better role models.

when all else fails , claim you don't know english, right ? =)

So all of us KNOW the parents are behind this because THEY know that her age protects her from any kind of REAL punishment…so why the heck can't the COURT see what WE all see and get this under control before she gets too old and too GOOD at this? Probation should be for the whole FAMILY and they should ALL be required to volunteer….attend classes…whatever…no such thing as TOO much education for ALL of them on what the consequences are going to be if this continues.Back in the day an ass whooping would have ended my "career in crime" but these days…..that seems NOT to be an option AND I really think her parents were behind this.

It's hard to believe that she could walk through her front door with thousands of dollars of packages with no one seeing her, or walking into her room without seeing gobs of boxes and wondering where it all was coming from. The parents were obviously involved and should be held responsible and prosecuted.

Mr vargas im sure u benefit from obama, let me guess u r a republican? trust me unless u make 100,000 a yr or more republicans see u as trash, a minority, scum beneath their feet so shut it and b gratefull obama is in office…loser. besides even if u did make that much…u r still seen as a middle class at best, wow u sell jewelry, not even a professional smh

If it were me and I caught her she'd be dead right now.too many slaps on the wrist and they go out and do it again.screw this little punk! I got a package for you! powwow.go ahead and sue parents.

How could the parents not notice that their 8-year-old was bringing home their neighbor's unopened packages, regularly? This smells of either parent involvement in the theft, or absolute neglect of their young child's whereabouts and doings.

her face and her name should be made public. she should be held responsible for her actions. she obviously knew that what she was doing was wrong. if she is made to feel the weight of her actions now it is possible she won't be stealing later in her life. I doubt it, however, it is possible.

What she needs is a good old-fashioned asswhipping

This young girl needs to be punished along with her parents and it should be up to the law to decide to what extent that should be. Anyhow, if all of them get away with this, then how much further will all this thievery go?

Someone has taught her to do this. Normal 8 year olds don't think this stuff up and do these things without someone older pressuring them to do it. Maybe this is a case where the parents should be accountable as well as the child with some sort of fine or something as you can't honestly believe they were oblivious that she was showing up with stuff like this.

Whip her ass and then put the parents in jail for 30 days.

an eight year old stealing packages and with christmas right around the corner, I sincerely doubt this little thief is doing it on her own. one package, maybe two but those many smacks of an adult making a child steal knowing fully well nothing will happen to the kid. I agree with my fellow responders. an adult or adults has to be involved in some large way. oh and why isn't this little opne school? whether you can do anything to the kid is one thing but getting to the root of the situation should be primary. if it involved me, I would demand the authorities do something and then report back to those who were directly affected.

Has a great future in Washington, DC…

I am always scared to let my boys alone in the quit neighborhood where we are living let alone to send them to somebody's house.Where were her parents when she does THIS? This is America, where criminals are looking for kids.It is sad and bad.Her parents have to have control over their little daughter. She is really innocent. Her parents are really irresponsible.

The parents are behind it or they would have stepped up to the plate by now!

Thank u Mr. Cantur for "stalking" my profile !

Now……. TAKE A BETTER LOOK!!!

At eight a child should know right from wrong, what ever she sees at home she will try it but she has enough sense to say NO!

it would have been funny if they hide in the box and watch her try to carry and move it. THEN BLAH! I GOT YOU LIL BIOTCH.

silly, don't you know her parent put her up to this? that way no jail time for mother or father – duh – it is unfortunate that she will be a thief for life cause now she's got the bug – she didn't just walk down the street with those boxes, or unpack them – get them fingerprints and prosecute – dag, people will do anything with anybody…. sadd

she just moved them to rip off another building -police should have checked for other boxes in the home and dumpster –

Oh boy….Santa's not going to like this one!

When I was 8 years old, I never thought about stealing, I knew I would get my backside whipped with a leather belt….

She obviously knew it was wrong, just by the way she was walking to front door.
I would have pressed charges against the parents…… otherwise it will probably happen again and again.

What if the girl got the idea of stealing from TV or a movie she saw? That's what I think.

Benjamin I agree with you. She should spend a few days in a juvenile assesment center and be charged as a juvenile to be shown on her record until she turns 18.
