Children Stealing Money From Their Parents

By Lloyd Reman: How many of us have stolen money from our parents? I know I have – up through perhaps age 8, and I’m not talking about a dime or quarter here or there, I’m talking about $10 to $20 (for a kid growing up in the sixties, that’s a small fortune). For those of us in the “yes we’re guilty” column, how many have become true criminals later in life? Perhaps that depends on the definition of “true criminal.” I suspect stealing at a young age is not indicative of a future in crime. Is the opposite true?
