Kids + Summer = Shoplifting

This week we have had more kids steel from us than the total number of adult shoplifters for the whole year. What is it with these kids? Two of them acted as if they could care less that they were in trouble. Our store requires staff to call the parents, but I wonder if that is enough to stop these kids from shoplifting again.

Does your store's shoplifting policy address underage shoplifters? Do you prosecute? Share your shoplifting policies and tell us how you handle young shoplifters.
