Maybe, but how will you prevent it? I used to know a person who was a
kleptomaniac. His parents were aware of it since he was very young, so
they counted the pennies every night, and watched him almost
continually. He did not grow out of it. How will you determine that
beforehand. To my knowledge he was the only kletomaniac in a large family.
