I mean I get it, it looked like he really did steal the kid’s jersey, but common sense and very minimal investigation showed that he signed the jersey in the tunnel and had someone bring it back out to the kid.
Of course that didn’t stop people from getting those Tweets off.
To be fair, it's the first time Derrick Rose's jersey has been that close to the court in a few weeks

There were a lot more like this and Rose could have handled it a little more smoothly, but no, Rose did not steal the kids jersey.
