When you think crime family, You think of the Corleones, the Sopranos, or if you’re a history nerd, maybe the Borgias. What you don’t think of is people taking their small children with them when committing crimes.

For instance, last November, a mother/daughter team of shoplifters had three small children in tow while attempting to take less that $200 worth in items from Walmart. That doesn’t seem like a lot, but remember- this is Walmart. $170 of Walmart is about the same as $500 Target.

And thousands of dollars in child labor.

But okay. Maybe you don’t expect the best decision-making to come out of people who shop at Walmart. There’s an entire site dedicated to the class and refinement of Walmart shoppers. Bringing your kids along on a shoplifting spree doesn’t seem so far fetched. Especially if you think you can blame it on them. I mean children are just so grabby at that age.

It’s a little different when you bring your kids along on a bank heist. Michelle Parker goes into the bank, comes out with the money, and gets in the get-away car, driven by her husband with their two small children in the back.

And why wouldn’t you? It was a sunny spring day in Utah, and the Parkers decided on a little outing. Run a few errands, rob a bank… maybe go to the park after. Who knows? Bring the kids- we’ll make a day of it.

Or maybe they just couldn’t afford a sitter.
