Mom has her teen arrested for stealing Pop-Tarts from her

This mom from Charlotte, North Carolina, had her 13-year-old boy arrested for stealing Pop-Tarts from her.

Latasha Renee Love, 37, called police on Monday night to report that her Pop-Tarts had been stolen — and named her own juvenile son as the culprit. The boy was placed under juvenile arrest and charged with misdemeanor larceny. Charlotte police valued the missing Pop-Tarts at $5. (Police1)

It seems she was tired of disciplining her son, so she took this step to teach him a lesson. Officers said she had been having disciplinary problems with the boy. She declined to comment to the press.

Tough love — or a $5 lesson with a permanent story?
