A court hearing was held at Manchester crown court this week after a house in the woods was broken into last month. Goldilocks Carter, a 17 year old girl allegedly broke into the Bear family home and broke furniture as well as eating freshly made porridge as the family were out walking their dog.
The judge in charge of her trial sentenced her to 4 months in jail for her crime, breaking and entering. She also received 2 additional months for vandalism. “What Miss Carter did was a crime, there’s no changing that. She deserves everything she gets.” one happy citizen posted to twitter in the early hours of this morning, however many other people are not as pleased at the result. “Goldilocks was in care, she didn’t have a proper upbringing, she didn’t know what was right and wrong.”
Since the age of 4, Goldilocks has been in multiple foster homes as her parents were jailed for theft. Some may argue that she hasn’t had a traditional upbringing of being told what is right and wrong, however others may argue that even her foster carers should have told her the basics.
“But you have to look at this from all sides. Maybe Goldilocks was hungry, would it still be bad then if all she wanted was something to eat?” one person commented on Facebook in the early hours of this morning. “the family has just taken this way out of context.”
“bring this back on yourself…” another regular Facebook user posted. “… if you were in Goldilocks’ situation, what would you do?”
