Apparently, she was really hungry.

TAMPA - A 13-year-old girl released from the county Juvenile Assessment Center landed back inside after she tried to rob a Burger King at knifepoint over a cheeseburger, police said.

The girl, who was wearing pajamas and socks when she was arrested Saturday, told Tampa police she was hungry when she brandished a kitchen knife inside the restaurant and demanded, “Give me a burger!”

What’s an obvious sign of mothering detachment? How about using your baby as a human barricade at a crime scene?:

GREENBURGH, N.Y. (AP) _ Two suspected shoplifters abandoned a baby boy at a discount store when approached by a security guard, police said Monday.

“They pushed the baby carriage toward the security guard and fled,” Greenburgh police Lt. Chris McNerney said a day after the incident at a T.J. Maxx store. Police lost sight of the women as they ran through the parking lot, he said.

Hmmm…tough call. A woman who is offended by a certain book, takes the book and pays retail price for them. The library threatens to sue, they don’t want the money, they want their books back.

Tax dollars support a library, don’t they have to answer to the people? Plus, given that the woman paid retail value for the books, can’t the library re-buy them at wholesale and they’d be ahead? Doesn’t everybody win?

Unfortunately, I still don’t think you can knowingly steal from a library, even if you do pay for the books.

JoAn Karkos was “horrified” by the contents of It’s Perfectly Normal: Changing Bodies, Growing Up, Sex & Sexual Health. Instead of burning the books, which she describes as “pornographic,” the Maine mother borrowed copies from two local libraries and refused to bring them back.

“Since I have been sufficiently horrified of the illustrations and the sexually graphic, amoral abnormal contents, I will not be returning the books,” Karkos wrote in a letter the Lewiston and Auburn public libraries last month, according to the Associated Press. She enclosed a check for the MSRP of the book.
