Mum dobs in thieving sons

The Australian: Mum dobs in thieving sons, 11 and 8 :

"AN Adelaide mother has dobbed in her two sons who turned up at home with toys stolen in a break-in at a secondhand store."

This mother has become our local legend because it is not easy to dob in your children. She has unequivocally followed the " do the right thing because it's the right thing to do " line and she has won all of our respect. The kids obviously thought it with Christmas with all those presents and thought they could help themselves, when the presents were for the needy children in Adelaide. The Mum can have a clear conscience and the children have learned from their rash and ill considered behaviour. This is one Mum who ought to get a big present at Christmas. Lessons learnt like that are rarely forgotten. Our police are generally very good with the community education and let's get a better approach to this method.
