Dear Editor,
On Sunday Oct.2, 2014, at the Ponoka Secondary Campus between 5 and 6 p.m., my grandson went to the football field, to sell chocolates for Y.B.C.
Apparently there were several individuals who decided to take advantage of a seven-year-old. They said they didn’t have the money and that they would pay him later. So he came home minus several boxes of chocolate and with no money to show for them.
Are you, morally inept and disgusting individuals, aware that he has to pay for those chocolates out of his own pocket?
How would you feel if somebody did this to your little brother or nephew, etc.?
I would hope that you would be as outraged as I am. What you did isn’t a harmless prank; it’s called stealing or theft.
It’s no different from taking something from a store and not paying for it.
I would hope your conscience gets the better of you and you drop the money off in an envelope, either at the bowling alley or at the school (PSC). (This could be done anonymously with a note explaining what the money was for). No questions would be asked.
This way, if you have a conscience, you might be able to live with yourself. If not, I’m a firm believer in karma. What goes around comes around and with any luck you people will get what’s coming to you tenfold.
In any event, you have made a seven-year-old not able to trust anyone. If that was your intent congratulations you’ve succeeded!
