A 10-year-old girl becomes popular these days. Why? Because she turned herself in to the local police after being caught stealing 800 yuan from her parents.

The girl’s family owned a shop which sells mainly food. She often bought snacks there. However, her father worried about her health, so he made a rule on how much she could eat. The youngster then had an idea. She would pilfer money from her parents and then get her classmates to buy the snacks for her. In total, she took 800 yuan away from her parents.

After he found out about the ruse, the girl’s father took her to the police station. He privately told officers: “In fact, I just want her to learn a lesson.” “If she takes money from home now, she will steal from others when she grows up. I don’t want my daughter to go down the path (道路) of crime,” he told the police.

To get the father’s message across, officer Dong said to the girl: “If you decide to correct your mistakes, let’s make a serious promise and write a commitment (承诺) letter. We can correct them step by step.” The young girl nodded, sat down and began to write, finally handing over her letter 10 minutes later. The young girl also apologized (道歉) to her father, and police officer Dong made her a promise: “From today, we will work together to gradually correct our mistakes and keep our promises. You will always be an honest kid.”
