[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's the end of the world (or even necesssarily shocking) that these kids emptied the bowl.  
What's terrible is for parents to be defending it as no big deal.  It is not okay to do this.  It is entitled behavior. 
If I found out this was my kid, I would make him write an apology letter to the home owner on principle.  
I'm just surprised (or maybe I shouldn't be) that so many parents think this is no big deal.  [/quote]

My sentiments exactly.  We always review the rules of the road for Halloween before trick or treating (e.g., you say thank you, you don't turn and run away from the door and knock down other kids, if there's a bowl out, you take one unless the sign at the bowl says you can take more than one).  
If it were my kids, I would want to know if they did this.  They would lose all their candy, and write a letter of apology.  
Of course it's not larceny, but its a-hole behavior, even by an 11 year old.  (And, yes, of course 11 year olds are sometimes a-holes.  That's why they should have parents to hopefully correct their behavior, so it's not Lord of the Flies out there.)  We're living in a community, people!

This.  I would be really shocked, surprised and embarrassed if my kid did something like that.  But I would also want to know about it.[/quote]

Yes, yes, yes.[/quote]
