Watch: 8-Year-Old Girl Is Caught Stealing Christmas Packages

The good people of Clermont, Florida, have a dangerous thief in the midst. As their Christmas packages weren't being delivered, they started suspecting someone was lifting them right off their porches.

They set up an ambush and installed a camera to catch the robber in the act. As you can see in the video, the dangerous villain turned out to be an 8-year-old girl. Neighbors have her on tape as she lifts holiday packages, in broad daylight.

They are not pleased, and they intend to bring the case to juvenile court. It may seem like that would be overdoing it, but some of them incurred massive losses.

Jessica Araujo, featured in the interview, runs a home business, and lost a lot of products.

"I am missing $1,800 (€1,360) worth of merchandise," she says, according to WESH Orlando.

When I was much younger than 8 years old, I was thoroughly schooled that it is wrong to steal. Whoever was teaching that girl either had no conscious, and the girl does not have any concept of right and wrong. At that age to be so brazen and open, I doubt this girl can be truly rehabilitated. So she does need to be punished. If I did something wrong, I had immediate punishment, in the form of a belt across the buttocks. It stung, but did no permanent damage, only long memories of what it felt like.

I feel quite sorry for this girl, but I think that the parents (or grandparents as the case may be) needs to be checked to see how involved they were, and if they were involved they should be charged also.
