It is not right to not pay for food served, but let us as a society do acknowledged that there are others whom are less better off than others....
Compassion must exist within each of us Humans.
While there may be some whom will take advantage of empathetic us, there are others who don't.
They are only innocent kids with perhaps a single mother whom are only seeking a chance to taste fine food....a chance they never had in the daily struggle of life that all of us are familiar with...
They had been caught on camera...perhaps a stern but gentle warning to not do it again will do...more so to hungry kids in their formative years....
For the establishment, it is only a few bowls of food. May they consider it an act of charity & let them off with a non harsh reminder..
While we have no ability to pay for everyone, not even a billionaire can, but should the insignificant nobody me was there, I would pay their share & give the same advice to that family..
