Would you grass/snitch on a kid if they stole in front of you?

@Kirsten I’m not great with social things I didn’t want to come across as angry or like mean:( he kept looking back at me as we were walking on the same road after lol as if to check if I was going to tell
Depends what vibe I get off the mother 😂 if she’s likely to discipline him then I would but if she’s likely to pick an argument with me I’d leave it
I don’t get this whole mentality of “I’m no snitch” surely there is a point where you know what happening is wrong and you say something. To stay silent is to agree with what’s happening. I know he’s a child but he has to learn that he can’t just behave like that and why should your 4 year old suffer? You’re also sending a message to your son by not acting upon it. I know everyone’s different but that’s just my opinion.
@Elle I was being joking/being sarcy saying I’m no snitch lol. It’s mainly because I hate any awkwardness or confrontation that I didn’t say anything. My son had no idea the interaction was happening he was focusing on his chocolate he was buying!
It’s not snitching .. it’s letting parents know what their child has done so they can correct them x
Yes, my nephew is 4 and he knows right from wrong and he would be corrected in the right way for his behaviour. Same way any parent should, so definitely
If my son had done that I would want the parents to tell me, so that I could address the behaviour with him and tell him why it’s wrong so he doesn’t do it again and really get himself into trouble x
Yes definitely that kids needs to know what he did was wrong another wise they would do it again and to a four year old they know better at that age ,I'd be going to the mum calmly to describe what you seen and hopefully she would deal with it from there ,it's good to mention and not be confrontational ✌️
snitch? are you a war soldier or in prison? I go by the rule would I wanna know as a parent? absolutely. so I am obligated to say.
I would have gone over to his mum to have a chat with her and explain what happened but be civil with it
It just depends on the vibe really. I don’t think you should be shamed for not telling the mum in this case.
@Klaudia I used the word grass but know there are non British people on here who might not know what grass means. Also, I was being light hearted and jokey because not everything requires a serious tone
If you know the mum and spend time with her then I would tell her but if I didnt know them and not likely to see them again Id probably leave it - mainly cos you dont know how they will react and I cant be bothered with an argument with someone I dont know! 🤣
@Beth yeah I didn’t know her! Exactly Iv seen mums shout at people for a lot less haha. If the kid was older I would have been more likely to say something I think. Like if it was a 10 year old… or if it was more than just £1!

Just being nosy - how did the 7yo steal the quid off your little one Lyd?
@Neena my son dropped all his coins and the little guy jumped over and grabbed them😶I thought he was being helpful and I said aw did you pick those 50ps up? And he’s like yeah! And I said thank you my son dropped them!(he saw him drop them ofc) and then he said oh no I didn’t… Poor kid looked shocked when I said “but I can see them in your hand”… lol
@Lydia nahhh I woulda done the same as you for sure. It’s NOT THAT DEEP to tell the mum about this particular issue 😂😂😂😂 especially if you got it off him in the end , without a fight? I’m guessing?
Yes I would of 100% of told the parents they may not be aware their child is acting this way and so can’t fix something they are not aware of x
