EASTLAKE, Ohio - A Cleveland woman has posted bond after getting caught shoplifting with her 12-year-old son in tow.
Eastlake police said on the evening of Saturday, April 7, officers were called to Walmart for a shoplifting complaint.

At first, the woman denied knowing the child until officers showed her surveillance footage of the two arriving and shopping together. Surveillance cameras also captured the mother watching from a distance as the child attempted to exit the store.
