Jul 22, 2021 at 14:45 comment added joeqwerty You've made several broad generalizations and you've made assumptions that you can't prove to be universal values. Sure, most of the civilized world sees stealing as wrong but you can't, in fact, prove that she was brought up with those values. Regarding her taking food from someone else, food that you gave them, this is no longer your concern. If I give my neighbor a television, and someone steals it, I may find that upsetting but it's not my concern because the television no longer belongs to me. Address her stealing your food and leave everyone else out of it.

Jul 22, 2021 at 6:09 comment added Gregory Currie @user126509 You are spending money on someone, they are receiving the gift. It is now theirs. They are the victim of this crime, not you. I completely understand mentally where you're at, cause I'd be the same, but you're not the police. If you're not the victim, it's not really something you should get involved with.
Jul 22, 2021 at 5:10 comment added user126509 Respectfully I disagree that it isn't my place. I am spending money on someone and it is going to someone else. As for her age, I am pretty sure every country has laws involving stealing and is something children know not to do. She shouldn't be stealing from people half her age. As for the rest of it, it is fair. I should only concern myself with my fight and her stealing my resources. It is mostly frustrating as anywhere with an HR it would be a firable offense because, again, theft is theft and a crime. No matter how petty.
