Shame on Fred Jordan Missions #5- For letting their staff (the owners son) steal donations

I totally knew that guy Peter as well. So weird. I used to volunteer for Fred Jordan Missions and one time around Christmas, Peter told us underlings to round up all the Bratz Dolls. These monstrosities:

Anyway, there was literally a roomful of toys that donors had brought to give to the poor kids of Los Angeles, so in the end there was like 7 or 8 bags of Bratz related merchandise. Oh, and it was the hottest toy of the time. Every kid wanted it.
So the leader of the Mission asked Peter, why he wanted us to bag up all of the most popular toys. We figured because of the seductive nature of the dolls the Mission did not want to give them out. Nope. Turns out, Peter was taking them to his girlfriends niece. I swear to god. Seven bags of toys for his girlfriend. I was shocked. But the real shocker came when the Director asked Peter if his Mom (Mission President, Willie Jordan) knew what he was doing.
He told him, "yep, and you can take stuff too if you want it."
I couldn't believe it.
I always wondered if the donors knew they were donating toys to Peter's girlfriend!
