A family in Illinois has stolen a net worth of seven million dollars worth of toys and merchandise from stores for the last 10 years. How you would most likely ask? By putting it in the mothers dress. The family would go into local stores and the children would distract employees and she would stuff them into her dress and then walk out of the store. Later they would go to a different state and sell the items on ebay. They made over four million dollars in profit but took over seven million from the stores. The FBI has arrested the family and they are going to jail for a long time.
In cases like this you wonder how someone could steal so much for so long. I'm sure the first time they stole a toy they looked super suspicious and maybe even felt guilty afterwards but now ten years later they do not even care and are not even a little bit guilty. This is such a sad situation because you see people not feeling bad for what they have done and becoming completely desensitized. This happens and is happening to children all across America. On average in America every child by the time they are 18 will have seen 80,000 thousands people die. This is either through movies, TV, video games or in real life. That is so many people! 80,000 people with four zeros. Why would people not want to kill or live violent lives? We have become a desensitized society in general.
