Chick-Fil-A Founder S. Truett Cathy Punishes Vandals
Chick-Fil-A founder S. Truett Cathy is taking a unique approach in deciding the punishment for three pre-teen girls that caused over $30,000 in damage to his mansion. Instead of letting the courts handle it, Truett came up with four terms the girls must meet.
S. Truett Cathy, 87, said he met with the three girls — two of them 11, the other 12 — and their mothers after the girls broke into a private residence known as the Chick-fil-A Lodge and caused about $30,000 in damages, The Daytona Beach (Fla.) News-Journal reported Friday.“I tried to be lenient with them but wanted to punish them,” Cathy said. “I wanted to show them there was a better way than the way they were going.”
Cathy said the punishment includes four terms: Each of the girls must write “I will not vandalize other people’s property” 1,000 times, abstain from TV and video games for six months, read a “good book” for three hours a day and submit weekly written book reports to him for 13 weeks.
The 87-year old Baptist Sunday school teacher is known for his generosity and kindness to his employees and others. All Chick Fil A franchises are closed on Sunday’s so employees can spend time with their families and attend church if they wish.

I’d be a little more impressed if he offered them a job and proved to them they could have nice things if they worked for them and asked them why they broke in in the first place instead of having them write random sentences.
But I give him credit for at least getting involved as an alternative to the criminal justice disposal system.
All Chick Fil A franchises are closed on Sunday’s so employees can work part-time at Wal-mart to make ends meet.
They will accuse him of pedofilia and win a huge payout from him, they sure wont go without tv for 6 months or read a book
Truett is also known for funneling funds to militant anti-abortionists. You know… the ones who blow up clinics.
You forgot one thing - he is going to have a baby with each of them (not right now, obviously - he is going to wait until they are 14.) Seems like a pretty reasonable guy to me.
Basically, he made 3 girls his slaves. NICE!
Good for him. There needs to be more progressive punishment like this for non-violent criminals. The prison system does NOT work.
Guess Where I’m Eating tomorrow when I’m out running Errands?
FIRST!!! ok now that is out of the way. What exactly did they do to cause 30k in damages?
impressive!!!
Truett, you are the man!
Sounds better than a simple fine or jail time, to be sure, except for the writing of sentences and reading part. Too often kids are taught that reading and writing are forms of punishment, when in fact, they should be considered privileges. How about taking away their cell phones, and making them spend time with mom and dad for six months?
“closed on Sunday’s”? Closed on Sunday’s what?
That first comment about working at walmart cracked me up. Either way, have to hand it to them, they’re sauces are the bomb!
Yea George, because everyone wants an 11 year old, who has a penchant for breaking things, working for them.
IM’ LOOKING FOR ONE OF YOUR BOOKS ( IT’S BETTER TO BUILD BOYS THAN MEND MEN) FOR A MEN MINISTERIES, I FIRST SEEN IT FROM A COWORKER SAID SHE GOT IT FROM ONE OF THE CHICK-FIL-A WE GO TO FOR LUNCH. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW I CAN GET SOME.
THANK YOU.
