LEHIGH ACRES, Fla. (AP) - Lee County authorities say a
24-year-old Lehigh Acres woman taught children how shoplift then
abandoned them when the group was stopped.
Latoya Bradley was jailed on charges of contributing to the
delinquency of a minor, child cruelty and larceny petit theft.
An investigator said Bradley walked into a Lehigh Acres store
with four children and showed a 12-year-old how to hide clothes
underneath the other youngsters. Bradley fled the scene when the
investigator confronted the children. She was later arrested.
A Department of Children and Families spokeswoman said her
agency will also investigate.
