Shoprite Accusing Minor of *****ing without evidence

I went to Shoprite in Mamelodi Denlyn branch to draw money it was around 8:15 in the morning. As I was waiting on a queue I saw a young school girl waiting at the door with the security, they then called a manager but he just talked to the security and left. I was counting time it was exactly 10 minutes I went to ask the security what was happening because they are delaying this kids because they are going to school and I saw the deodorant spray in the security's hand I offered to pay for the spray so that this kids can go write their exams. The law of an arrest is take, conceal and leave. But the child was in the store, they never saw her taking the product from the shelve and conceal it. I couldn't afford to see this little girl being a center of attraction and at the same time they might take long to investigate whether this child came in with a spray or not. As a father I had to save this embarrassment to this poor child but I feel I need to address this with Shoprite management I saw a manager trying to assist and he left, first of all you judge the case on merit this girl bought a packet of Simba chips which is R16. 95 and a 500ml coke which is R10. 99 and that spray caused me R24. 99, so from this already you can see that if she would have opted to buy the spray and leave the chips and cold rink, second in this matter you ask for the parent's number (which I advised the security to call the parent) call them and tell them your child is suspected of *****ing in Shoprite we are releasing her please come to the store to pay for the item. What is Shoprite policy on minors? Do you train your staff on decision making? What do you regard as theft?
