Mom turns son in after seeing photos on police's Facebook
A Florida mother was browsing her Facebook news feed when she came across a post by the local police department asking for help in identifying a robbery suspect who had been caught on surveillance camera during the alleged theft.
She immediately recognized who it was: her teenage son.
Casselberry Police say the woman marched into his room at 1 a.m. and called police, who found Joel Brown wearing the same Fila sweatshirt seen in the surveillance photos when they arrived at her Winter Park, Fla., home.
"She didn't wait till morning," Sgt. Chris Pamatian told WESH-TV. "She took care of it right then."
The 18-year-old was arrested and charged with shoplifting $670 worth of PlayStation controllers from the Casselberry Target. According to police, Brown, a college student, confessed, saying he needed the money.
Authorities recovered five of the controllers, but according to WFTV, several others had already been sold to area GameStop stores.
Pamatian said that while the department receives crime tips from a variety of sources, it's unusual to "receive a call from the suspect's mother."

Honestly, this is why I am such a hard parent now, while my daughter is young. She get to feel both the consequences of her actions and punishments of her misdeeds, all the while I praise her truly high noted endeavors (no participation trophies here).
I don't want to have to be put in this situation when she is older. Because I would turn her in immediately.

Then I don't know.
I know there would be a walk of shame back to the store to confess for the kid. And then I would not fight it if they wanted to call the police.
There would be serious consequences for sure.
