Instead of calling the cops Mrs.Jones took the boy home to her house, washed, fed and gave him money to buy the sneakers that he had wanted to steal the money for.

The accidental discovery, by a teacher, of suspected stolen goods in a student’s bag is problematic. Is one entitled to act on a wrongful search, albeit accidental, and further, is the presumption of guilt fair/valid? Firstly, consider what action(s) is directed by principles of obligation/duty (Deontological). Secondly, consider the negative and positive consequences of possible responses to determine which course of action achieves the best possible outcome (Consequentialist). I...
