Where is the evidence that she would have paid the amount if the police wouldn't have been called? Quite honestly, do you think anyone should have really trusted her if she said she would? I'm not sure if you read the part where it said that she stole over $11,000... it wasn't $100 or even $1000. If that would've been the case then maybe the police wouldn't have had to get involved, BUT stealing OVER $11,000 from CHILDREN warrants a call to the police. This woman did not turn herself in until AFTER she knew she was caught. The fact that she was stealing in the first place should be a clear indicator that she didn't have the money to pay it back. Let's remember that this woman came to meetings & sat there knowing that parent volunteers & kids worked their butts off to make that money & still made a CHOICE to deliberately steal from school children to the tune of more than $11,000!! All of the PTA sponsored programs for this year are on hold with no available funds. This wasn't a ONE time incident or moment of weakness - it was multiple checks over several years. Not only has she jeopardized this year's programs, but surely she has created doubt in the minds of parents & community members that might hesitate to participate in future fundraisers. This was not a crime of necessity it was a crime of convenience. Like her, there are so many people in our close communities that are unemployed & feeling the stress of our current economy who don't resort to stealing from children to make ends meet.

I think that what truthbtold was saying is that no one places blame on anyone OTHER than the woman that stole the money....

Why is it that the person that was impaired usually lives while the innocents die?

I think that explaining to your grade school child that someone stole money that was not theirs is a good life lesson. Since it is going to directly impact them, it's a good time to teach them how rotten it is & hopefully teach them why it's wrong. I plan on telling my kids the punishment she gets, in language they can understand. This will show them that people will be held accountable for their actions & choices. I think more people need to teach this to their kids at a young age so they don't turn into the not so great adults that you can find everywhere!!!
