He stole food over a period of months. I'm not sure the company was in the wrong here since they had a person stealing from them. And they waited months for it to stop before arresting him since he clearly wasn't able to stop himself and it wasn't an isolated incident. What did the thief do to earn redemption?
The issue here is not that the kid got in trouble - he should have. The issue is that they waited for months, with full knowledge of what he was doing, so that they could have him arrested.
He shouldn’t have gotten in trouble, he should have been spoken to and supported.
The kid was hungry not stealing millions.
