An iPhone was Stolen from a Baby!

[Rizsparky]

Thats what you get for being a dumbshit...

 

[Rydian]

I see that GBATemp is quick to judge the mother and nobody seems to be interested in the fact that the thief stole from a baby.

Long live priorities, stay classy, Temp!

You'll have to forgive people for consider the safety and life of a child more important than a phone.

 

[MelodieOctavia]

The mother should be happy and relieved that her child remained unharmed though all of this. I'd say sacrificing your iPhone for your child's safety is a good trade, considering she left her child unattended in public.

 

[ZAFDeltaForce]

My initial thought was couldn't the mother just leave the baby with a friend or family if she wanted to shop in peace instead of dragging the baby along only to give the baby her phone and then just focus on shopping.

My thoughts exactly.

I always wonder this every time I hear a baby wail and cry, disturbing the peace and breaking the silence of an otherwise calm night in public.

Not the Robbers fault. It's the mother's.

 

[nando]

why the hell was a baby unattended. she is lucky the guy didn't steal the kid.

Ah, but they don't sell as well on the market.

yes they do.

 

[Chary]

I have a problem with a fact that someone would steal an iPhone from a baby, but then again, why was the baby alone?


The mother is lucky the kid wasn't stolen!

I let my son look after my iPhone all the time, he puts it in his pockets and plays with it when hes bored but he's 5. I wouldn't do the same thing with my 1 year old daughter and I wouldn't leave either of them alone in a public place that I wasn't comfortable with ever.
For example before people flame, when I go to the local shop my son will wonder off to go grab a sweet or something, but he won't leave the shop, my daughter goes no-where unless an adult i know is with her

I don't think two wrongs make a right, here.

"This'll be easy as taking an iPhone from a baby!" - the new line for criminals.

It depends on the skin colour. White babies just don't sell.

 

[RchUncleSkeleton]

I hope that mother was arrested and the child taken into protective custody.

I'd like to take a moment to remind you that we're not currently in the EoF.

Honestly, part of the blame (the majority) needs to be placed on the mother for leaving her child alone in a grocery store.

 

[Castiel]

Don't pin the blame on one or the other, pin it on both. The mother shouldn't have left her child unattended and should be glad her child is safe. The robber is at fault for obvious reasons. What both of them did was wrong and stupid.

But if the mother was with the child then it's highly unlikely the thief would of stolen the iPhone. He took advantage of the child because it couldn't fight back, if the mother was there he almost definitely wouldn't of attempted it.

No mother or father should leave their child alone in a public setting.

The mother was not with the child, hence why she is at fault. The robber took advantage of the child because it couldn't fight back, which is why the robber is at fault. Hence why both of them are at fault.

Obviously the robber is at fault, but that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying the entire crime could have been prevented if the mother was present.

You can't split the blame equally between the person who allowed the crime to happen and the criminal.

Suppose someone (we'll call them Person 1) joins a drug dealing gang. Then later on said person does something that upsets the rest of the gang, which makes them want to punish him. So they go out and brutally beat someone close the person (we'll call this person Person 2). Sure, the whole thing could have been prevented if Person 1 didn't join the gang in the first place, but that doesn't change the fact that he did join it. The gang is at fault for beating Person 2, and Person one is at fault for joining the gang in the first place. Person 1 paid the consequences of their actions. Everyone involved is in the wrong, except Person 2 (just like in the main example here, they are all at fault except the baby).

(This is a pretty extreme example, but still the same concept).
