  7. Don’t underestimate the power of observation. That how humans (and many other animals) primarily lived for millions of years.
    2
  8. Right, it was much too late for coffee! How would she get up for school the next morning?
    2
  9. A judge or children’s services need to have a talk with the parents!
    2
  10. Or perhaps just the opposite.
    2
  11. Most people
    2
  12. SOMETHING STRANGE is going on in that household!
    2
  13. When I was 8 I knew exactly where my parents car keys and cash were. Granted, I never took either.
    2
  14. Or she can use that $400.
    2
  15. No, they just ran off with it. IDIOT!

  16. Do your kids know where your handbag is?
    1
  17. Moron.
    1
  18. Observation
    1
  19. It depends on if the daughter had previously shown a pattern of this behavior of if this happened out of the blue.
    1
  20. From her mother’s purse, along with the car keys? Not too difficult to figure out
    1
  21. You don’t know any details about this. Was this the first time anything like this happened or was it a habitual pattern.
    1
  22. Depends is this was the first time like this ever happening.
    1
  23. What? Are you referring to Freud?
    1
  24. So you know all of the facts in this case?
    1
  25. How NOT????
    1
  26. Basketball player?
    1
  27. Your sky fairy had nothing to do with this.
    1
  28. WHAT? LEARN HOW TO WRITE!!!! The 8 year old would probably be able to write better than you!!!
    1
  29. Actually, you can. That is how people and animals have learned from each other for millions of years!!!!
    1
  30. Well, that IS what is being taught these days, which isn’t necessarily bad.
    1
  31. That is the OPPOSITE of what should be done! FOSTER HER ENTHUSIASM AND INNOVATIONS, DON’T CRUSH THEM!!!
    1
  32. Mother’s purse and the power of observation. Not that difficult.
    1
  33. Of?
    1
  34. It’s no different than returning the items, but that really should have been the responsibility of the parents.
    1
  35. Who would EXPECT their 8 year old to even DO THIS?!?
    1
  36. Must be a basketball player.
    1
  37. Observation
    1
  38. Observation. It served humans well for like 100,000 years.
    1
  39. IDIOT!!! Your sky fairy had NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS!!!
    1
  40. As they should, but until the investigation is complete, don’t make any assumptions.
    1
  41. Try listening again.
    1
  42. IDIOT
    1
  43. Observation.
    1
  44. You are a wuse
    1
  45. And there is a reason for that.
    1
  46. No, the cops ran off with all of the goods!!!
    1
  47. Ignorance
    1
  48. Or maybe she wasn’t an AVERAGE 8 year old and shouldn’t be TREATED LIKE SHE IS AVERAGE!
    1
  49. She probably bought food for all her younger siblings.
    1
  50. Explain how this COULDN’T HAPPEN!!!
    1
  51. Loose them? Maybe you need to get an education.
    1
  52. Who the hell would even EXPECT something like this to occur???
    1
  53. Huh? Try hearing comprehension classes.
    1
  54. No. It’s called mimicking, and that’s how humans and animals have learned how to live for millions of years.
    1
  55. What? Learn how to write!
    1
  56. For what?
    1
  57. What does the car being locked have to do with anything?
    1
  58.  @lindagrible3235 observation
    1
  59. You mean like most licensed drivers?
    1
  60. EXACTLY, that is up to the parents to decide!
    1
  61. Depends on if this was the first time like this happened or if it was a habitable pattern.
    1
  62. Probably in bed at that time of day.
    1
  63. PERHAPS FROM HER MOTHER’S PURSE?!?!? NOT THAT DIFFICULT TO THINK OF!!!!
    1
  64. Who DOESN’T???
    1
  65. No, they reported that she was missing shortly after she left!
    1
  66. Why not? That’s what she saw everyone else doing.
    1
  67. And you are not so smart based on your writing.
    1
  68. Appropriately named vehicle.
    1
  69. LISTEN!!!!!!!! She “WALKED IN WITH MORE THAN $400 in cash”!!!!!!! They didn’t say that she SPENT IT ALL!!!! Listening comprehension is KEY to a prosperous life!
    1
  70. Mom’s purse??? Doesn’t take much brain matter to figure that out, along where she got the car keys. ARE YOU REALLY THAT STUPID?????
    1
  71. No
    1
  72. You have no idea if this was the first time like this happened or if it was a habitual pattern.
    1
  73. Probably better than most licensed drivers.
    1
  74. Why just dad’s? More like mom’s since she bought the frappuccino.
    1
  75. Sleeping
    1
  76. Sleeping
    1
  77. Only she probably DID use them (unless her parents didn’t).
    1
  78. Who expects their 8 year old to get up early and drive to Target?
    1
  79. It was inside the target.
    1
  80. So could have the millions of licensed drivers.
    1
  81. It only said that she HAD $400, not SPENT IT! And she probably used the self-checkout!
    1
  82.  @Pamelamls It’s not that difficult, all you have to do is actually observe what is going on.
    1
  83. So do you hide your keys?
    1
  84.  @tessamoland797 So you advocate being raised by the threat of terror?
    1
  85. Seriously? Look up how much sugar is in Frappuccinos!
    1
  86. A bunch of assumptions.
    1
  87. IDIOT!
    1
  88. Do you lock your keys up? Seriously???
    1
  89. Do you or did your parents hide car keys when you were 8?
    1
  90. Do you KNOW what she bought?
    1
  91. Observation
    1
  92.  @saba347 That’s teaching independence.
    1
  93. Weed
    1
  94. EXACTLY!!!!
    1
  95. ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!! We need to TAKE ADVANTAGE of her spirit and initiative!!!!
    1
  96. Observation. It was critical to life prior to 50 years ago.
    1
  97. How are any of these comments ENCOURAGING this behavior????
    1
  98. First of all: “A normal height for an 8-year-old female is 47–54 inches”, and I know many adults who are on the high side of that range who drive. The $400 was probably in the same place as the car keys…IN HER MOTHER’S PURSE!!! Not much of a mystery here.
    1
  99. Anyone who sells it since it isn’t illegal.
    1
  100. Sleeping?
    1
  101. She obviously is above average, unlike you.
    1
  102. Who would have thunk?
    1
  103. Not really. Stop thinking in millennial terms. She obviously was observant, and knew where her mother kept her money and keys (PROBABLY IN HER PURSE)!!!
    1
  104. You shouldn’t be on the road.
    1
  105.  @saba347 You have a pretty good statistical idea based on the age of the child.
