Oh Boy, oh boy, never co-operate with these guys. NEVER! The policeman is NOT your child's friend and they are NOT interested in justice or fairness or even common sense. An 11 year old boy arrested, handcuffed, fingerprinted, thrown in a cell, put through the legal rigors of the state and for what? For drawing a stick figure to release his anger as directed by his physiologist and which the school had already dismissed as a non threat.
She says she told her son to cooperate and tell the truth, but was horrified when they told her they were arresting him and then handcuffed him and hauled him away in a patrol car. His mother says she begged police to let her drive her son to the police department and to let her stay with him through the booking process but they refused.
They put him in a cell, took his mug shot and fingerprinted him. He says he thought he was going to jail and would never be able to go home again.
What a bunch of bullies.
Tim is on probation and if he completes that successfully, the criminal charges will be dropped. But his parents say it has cost them thousands of dollars so far.Ummmm did Mamma and Daddy think that "Everything you say CAN and WILL be used AGAINST you" was just for laughs? Did they really think that rational, common sense would take hold , that the police would be reasonable, realize it was just a misunderstanding, and this would just blow over as it should have? Surely you jest?
And if they had known that their son’s cooperation would be used as evidence against him, they would have hired a lawyer at the beginning and exercised his right to remain silent.
Those cops must be soooo proud of what they do, your shepherds at work.
