To think the justice system in the uk is absolutely shit

So basically my mum works in a very well known supermarket local store, For the last 6 months a woman and her bloke have been coming in with thier kids and stealing, they report it and nothing is ever done, the last couple of weeks it’s escalated. The woman punched another customer in the face and one of the collegues too. Nothing was done. She’s still been coming in with her young kids who have also been stealing alongside her. Today she came in, my mum was working on the floor and relayed to another member of staff on the headset that ‘she’s back in stealing again’ ( she’d shoved half a dozen frozen items under her pushchair) she marched up to my mum and started threatening her, left non surprisingly not paying and then returned without her kids and started threatening my mum, who luckily managed to get behind the tills where it’s guarded. The police came out, took my mums statement and cctv. She’ll probably back in stealing again tomorrow. I told my mum if she does it again tomorrow to call me and I’ll be there in 30 seconds and we live relatively close. My mum told me her name and I searched her on socials, turns out she’s a parent of a boy my daughter was friends with at school. We’ve heard through the grapevine that apparently she’s on the verge of losing her kids, and tbh I think she should. I feel sorry for the kids but she is not a good role model is most likely leading them down a path of destruction. So she’s been allowed to keep coming to the the store harassing people because nothing is getting done. Then had to cheek to say to my mums colleague keep her away from me.
how about you fuck off out of the shop because she works there is what I would have said.
im actually livid. My mum is almost 58 with back problems. Going to work everyday, non of them get paid enough for this. I’ve seen it happening other places now and the only time they seem to care is if it ends in tragedy or badly. Because if she comes back and does something to my mum, I’ll unleash hell on her myself. I’m sure my brother wouldn’t hold back either. She’s a skatty bitch anyway. Always has been.

Fun fact - 'bobbies on the beat' that everyone has some sort of utopian idea of no longer has the impact on crime it once did.
Officers are now expected to cover often over a population of 100,000. Imagine calling 999 in your scariest moment and being told 'OK but it might be a while because they have to walk to you because people keep asking for more police patrolling on foot'.
Policing has changed because crime has changed.

As for your 'policing tweets' comment, they don't sit their policing tweets. A member of the public reports it to them and they have a duty to investigate, like they do any other crime.

Won't put too much stock into this considering the fact you can't even get the sex of the person involved right.

Could you report this to the school as a safeguarding concern @Choclabratwatowner88? Taking your children with you when you're shoplifting is bad enough, but teaching them to shoplift themselves has to be a legitimate safeguarding concern, surely?

The police will have done this and also reported to SS.

why not contact the supermarket and insist that they hire seurity guards for this branch?
if the staff were in a trade union, they could help with this.
if not, there's nothing to stop you/other condcerned members of the public hassling the store manager to do something about this
