Chad steals food to feed himself and his little brother because they are starving. If another child hears about this and states, "Chad shouldn't steal because stealing is against the law," that child is MOST likely in Lawrence Kohlberg's stage of moral development.

Explanation:

The third level in the Kohlberg's theory of moral development is called post conventionl level.It is the highest level of moral development. Those who have reached this stage of moral development are guided by their own ethical principles and are concerned with human rights.

People at this level of moral development can even break federal and state  laws for the sake of morality and values.  At this stage a persons sense of  morality is defined in more abstract values and principles. This theory has been criticised for being biased toward gendered and cultural bias toward upper class white boys and men.
