Democratic lawmakers in the California Assembly’s Public Safety Committee have rejected a measure that would make it a crime to cause a minor to commit theft.
At issue was Assembly Bill 2406, authored by Assemblywoman Laurie Davies, which would allow adults who employ or coerce a child to steal to be charged with a misdemeanor or felony, depending on the circumstances.
“What we were ultimately trying to do is create a new penalty for adults who use children to commit theft-related crimes,” Ms. Davies told The Epoch Times by email April 24. “Any adult who uses a child to do their dirty work should have the full weight of the justice system thrown at them.”
Committee members opposed to the bill expressed concern that a homeless mother who told her child to steal food to “fill their belly” could be charged with a felony, a notion that was rejected by the bill’s author and law enforcement officials.
