Drug Addict Mother teaches sons to steal
A drug-addicted Melbourne mum accused of teaching her young sons to steal has been denied bail on theft charges.
The 35-year-old woman faced the Melbourne Magistrates Court Monday morning accused of stealing bags from Southbank diners with her sons in tow, and, in one incident, using her seven-year-old to steal a handbag.
Documents tendered in court allege the woman, who was on bail for theft at the time of the alleged offence, was teaching her sons, five and seven, to steal.
