Should 7 year old need to get arrested and booked like a hardened criminal? |
OK, I am from Baltimore City. It is not illegal to own a dirt bike, but it is illegal to ride one on city streets, or city parks. The little boy was sitting on a brand new dirt bike his mom bought him. He was sitting on the sidewalk on the front of his house. The police then grabbed him off of the bike, and took him to Central Bookings, one of the worst places to be in Baltimore, even for a criminal. Today on the news the Police commissioner stated that they completely followed the procedures when it came to the child and they did nothing wrong. Now, I cant see why they didn't just have some compassion for the child and leave him alone. The motor was not turned on, and he was on his property. Am I wrong for being on the child's side? Here is the link to the story: http://www.examiner.com/a-619947~busted_... Hell no you're not wrong! That was WAY beyond the pale, in my opinion. Those officers should be ashamed of themselves. The one thing in their favor, however, is that if he was on the sidewalk in front of his house, he was NOT on his property. The sidewalk is owned by the city. Sandy that is ridiculous. those cops should have real criminals to go arrest. Since very harsh to me, there must be more to the story. no I think what they did was completely wrong and if anything they should have just talked to the child about their rules he might have not ever been told of the laws regarding his dirtbike. This is Terrible!!! Poor kid will be scarred!!! Seems to me they are wasting time on the little boy when there are bigger fish to catch. The point of humiliation at the concept of being arrested regardless of guilt or innocent; proceeds the logical; rational thought process of a child. The reasons why we have penalties, is to teach, retard growth of future criminal activities. Psychologically, a seven year old doesn't have to cognitive skills to interpret what has gone wrong. Shame on the officers and city administration involved. If I were a taxpayer of Baltimore; I would be angry that my funds went to arrest a child; and not a child molester. That is crazy. I would think that there is something in place to not treat children as felony criminals. That should of been a ticket for the parents at most. |
