The Consequences of Stealing

Are you sure you should steal these shirts? The security guard is RIGHT there!!

Yeah! Who cares? We're minors, plus he's all the way over there!

What do you boys think you're doing?!

You messed up big time! C'mon, we need to leave now!!

It's not even that big of a deal, don't panic! Again, we're minors, we can't be punished that badly... right?

Young man, I saw you steal. You are aware that is a criminal offence right? You will be charged. You understand that you may have a parent or guardian present, you may have a lawyer or legal aid present, and you understand that you make not make statements that can be used against you. Am I being clear?

Yes, you are clear.

Later that week...

Okay son, we're about to enter the courtroom. You must be open to the charges you're gave because you made the decision to steal. I am predicting that you will have to spend some time doing community service.

Okay, I will agree.

Since you are a minor and being charged under the Youth Justice Criminal Act, you are required to do 50 hours of community service and you are required to return all of the stolen goods back to the storeowner.

During the week...
