A Charlotte woman had her son arrested for stealing her Pop-Tarts earlier this week.

According to a Charlotte-Mecklenburg police report, the mother called investigators on Monday to report her Pop-Tarts had been stolen from her home on Goldstaff Lane. She fingered her own son, who is a juvenile, as the culprit.

Neighbor Fred Patrick laughed when he first learned an arrest had been made over Pop-Tarts. He knows the young boy.

?He seems real nice to me. I mean, he is real respectful,? Patrick said

The report said that the boy was placed under juvenile arrest and was charged with larceny/misdemeanor.

Another neighbor, Tiffany Covington, said in her house, food is there for everyone.

?It would be nice if they asked, but they don?t. They are kids,? she said.

The mom declined to comment.

What ever happened to a quick smack upside the head and a "Never try that again"?

She should have been arrested for wasting taxpayer dollars.

Okay, you threaten to call the Police, you may even ask an Officer to give your son a shock as a favour... but to actually ring the Police and have your own child placed under arrest for stealing a Pop Tart?!

Bad parent. Should have her kids taken away and given to a family that can actually take care of them. Lock the mother away for being a waste of time, money, and life.

the boy should have tied the pop-tart to a string behind his bike and had 'the blob' run after it.... :laugh:

Clearly hand-chopping is in order.

Her son was doing her a favor, she probably eats so much to the point she is obese.

That's illegal in the United States.

At least the neighbors seem to have common sense

At least she is teaching him how not to parent so one day he can do better.

The report said that the boy was placed under juvenile arrest and was charged with larceny/misdemeanor.

Seriously?

This can't be true.

More to the story then just the sensational headline, I did some digging before commenting, I'm guessing he has a history of stealing stuff. But we can't find out since his records are not public information.
