MOTHER OF THE YEAR NOMINEE

At least the kid has a nice stolen jacket and backpack. The kid is clearly a high performer, as Philly “youths” usually don’t know their address until they are 12 or 13 years old.

Police issue warrant for suspected shoplifter who left child behind

PHILADELPHIA (WTXF)- Police have now issued an arrest warrant for a mother they say left 4-year old daughter behind at Macy’s after a $1500 shoplifting spree.

Central Detectives has obtained an Arrest Warrant for 27-year-old Mahogany Ashly Terry.

Philadelphia police were left stunned following the theft incident in Center City on the evening of February 11.

Only FOX 29 was there when a 4-year-old girl left Macy’s just before 8 p.m She wasn’t with her mom. She was with a police officer after investigators say her mom left her behind when she got caught shoplifting.

Police arrived at Macy’s just after 6 p.m. when store security grabbed the little girl’s 27-year-old mother.

Authorities say she tried to leave Macy’s through the exit to Chestnut Street with over $1,500 worth of merchandise.

Police tell FOX 29 the mother, her daughter and the stolen merchandise were taken to the store security office.

As security staff checked in and began removing the stolen merchandise from the mother’s belongings, she took off and left her little girl behind, police say.

Officers raced to the scene trying to locate the mother. Investigators arrived and spoke with the little girl who was able to tell them her name and where she lived. Police contacted family members and took the little girl to the Department of Human services Headquarters to be reunited with her grandmother.

Police say the little girl kept asking why her mommy left her behind.

She’s a proud fourth generation Democrat providing her daughter on the job training.

FWIW,

A local Walmart had a sign posted at the exit to warn shoppers to be sure they weren’t leaving any children behind in their shopping carts when they left.

So maybe leaving the kid behind was just an honest mistake.

Compared to the proud Republicans who provide a plethora of bombs to simply kill as many children as possible. Right?

Ne’er an R or D again.

I was simply surprised that the little girl was only 4yo, with a mother like that who is 27yo i would have guessed she would have had a daughter at least 10 years old.

I bet that Tattoo on her left breast cost a good $250. If it wasn’t for that I would be suffering from a serious case of white guilt.

Ed, what’s a step-wife? Should I call my current wife that?

I thunk Ed is just another incarnation of J “Candiru” Fish. Either way, I’ve downgraded him to assclown status and set controls to “ignore”.

Mahogany Ashly Terry?

Do you think her peers call her ‘Hog’ for short?

Sorry you had to read that Ed, I’ve been enjoying your smart, snappy comments!

Here’s a very important disclaimer: while I have been upgraded to Assclown by I-S and I have in turn called him a few names myself, I am only addressing the words and thoughts posted here.

As far as I know from his comments, he is a good neighbor, a dog lover and a smart dude. He doesn’t beat his wife or kick his dog after work so guess who he is going to take out his frustrations on? TBPers unfortunate enough to cross his path. Oh well, it’s the price we must pay.

I blame my parents for naming me after a shitty movie with Diana Ross. Why couldn’t they have named me Bumpquisha or Indenturedchickenisha?
