How insanely rude of the sister. its one thing to ask but when told no to go ahead and take the stuff is so disrespectful. Not a family member I would care to have anything further to do with im afraid.

This is such a sad situation. The sister should have respected her sister’s decision & not taken the things.

Such a sad story its hard to make a decision to do that but she had to do something

Wow – this is soooo inappropriate and to think that you can take anyones things just because you think it is appropriate, is not on! Let alone because someone had bought them for their beautiful departed angel – this is so unacceptable! So she should have been arrested!! You shou;dn’t have a child if you can’t afford them!

unfortunately family can be the ones who think they can take with no consequences.

I think if it had only been the bassinet she took I might have been more understanding but to take all Angel’s toys etc as well is just cruel and heartless. I’m shocked someone would actually do this.

Theft is theft, the fact that it was her sister that took the stuff makes it worse. I am glad she pressed charges.

there’s two sides to this. I think one could have communicated better, whilst the other needed to be more considerate! calling the police was a bit over the top though.

What a terribly sad situation for all. Having lost a child myself, I know how hard it is to part with their belonging but I would not have involved the police but have explained how I was feeling to my sister and probably would have told her that in a few months she could have items but just not yet.

Oh that poor women…my heart will be fall apart again

I don’t know what I would do, but both sisters are in the wrong, secondly no need to call the police, only made it worse. I hope they have resolved their issues by now

Omg. Can’t believe how something like this can actually happen

That’s so awful! I bought all my baby stuff second hand it hardly cost anything.
That would be heartbreaking but there Sisters so I hope they can work things out

It’s a great shame that the police had to be involved, but the greater shame rests solely with the pregnant sister – she was told plainly and simply ‘no, we’re not ready to pass on this stuff, you cannot have it’ and yet she took it. This is theft. Intentional theft. You thieve, you reap the consequences.
The poor couple are grieving for the loss of their baby, they didnt need this callous behind their backs action. I’m so sorry for your loss.

  I agree it’s theft and very calculated and wrong. I agree with her calling the polce.

What a horrible and sad situation.

I don’t think you are over reacting . You told her where you stand. The fact that she would turn around and steal from anyone let alone her sister is disgusting

I am appalled at the level of hurt this woman was prepared to inflict on her grieving sister – stealing things she wasn’t ready to get rid of yet.

Where does this entitlement come from. That’s so horrible.

Omg this is terrible. More heartbreak for an already broken mum

I’m sorry but that’s a very selfish thing her sister did by stealing Angel’s possessions. I’m sure her sister would have reacted the same way if it had happened to her. By stealing the baby items she has literally split the family. I’d never be able to trust her again.
