Mother reports son to police for stealing iPad

A teenager who was captured on CCTV robbing a 2-year-old of his iPad was reported to the police by his mother.

It was all fun and games for a 16-year-old in Houston, Texas, like taking candy from a baby, when he snatched an iPad from a 2-year-old in a parking lot.

What the he didn't anticipate was his mother's sound moral judgement when she reported him to the police after watching the CCTV footage and recognising him.

When asked, the teen confessed to stealing the tablet from the toddler.

Police are now investigating if the youth is involved or in anyway linked to other car park robberies in the past which have occurred in the area.

This sound motherly judgement follow the reports of a mother in Baltimore who slapped her son on live Tv for participating in the rioting.
