“the same crap is happening in the good old US of A”

“On no it isnt you dummy.”

Alas, it has been here for 20+ years. Conduct, especially by boys, that in the not-so-distant past would have been given a stern reprimand by teachers or the police (or a good, old-fashioned parental butt whipping) a generation or two ago is now more often adjudicated in the juvenile justice system. Unfortunately, there is not a clean ideological divide on this; politically correct liberals and law n’ order conservatives have formed an unholy alliance to criminalize trivial incidents.

Sad but true. From what I've seen right here on FR, 'law and order conservative' is a nice term for 'nanny/police statist'.
