Totally irrelevant, the thief is completely in the wrong, whoever she stole from. The fact that she robbed a 5 year old defenceless child is just despicable

I'm not saying the thief was somehow in the right, I was wondering what the hell a 5 year old is doing with a gold chain in the first place. Seems stupid beyond reason if you ask me.

Anyway, was just talking to my wife however and she told me a lot of rural people will buy gold and "bling" their kids out to show off their wealth and how much they "care" and are good parents. Still sound stupid after hearing her explanation.

in england, parents put money into a bank account set up for the child, in Cambodia they buy them Gold, the same reason all Cambodians (girls especially) kit themselves out in Gold, plus is their kid is kitted out in Gold it gives them face

I would think it as being more equatable to British parents that dress their kids in designer lables.

naa its invested money, as JB also mentioned
british parents who dress their kids in designer labels are fucking idiots, the gear doesnt cost much cheaper than an adults version but the kid will grow out of it after 6 months then they will be trying to flog them on some facebook buy/sell page for a fraction of what they paid 6 months ago
the gold can be swapped/part exchanged at the jewellers as the kids grow older
