My mom went to the store and she was getting amedicine for my sister. my mom was holding the medicine in her hand becuase it was small and was scared it would fall out of the shop n kart she decided to throw it in the basket wen she took my little sister to the bathroom and my mom has those recyciling bads and i guess it landed in there. she was leaving and didnt walk out the door and a security guard came up to her and said she could pay 350.00 fine or go to jail. was that right? that was half of her child support check and she is really stressing out irght now she has no job only at a college for part time where she is going and she needs to apy rent wat can she do? and can they do that to her?
