Yes, I did. I don’t want local jails housing high-school fart blowers, even for a few hours. The concept of “arrest” is the problem here. Next, your kid will wind up in juvie for farting. The problem is to be dumped on his parents, not the criminal justice system.
He needs discipline? OK. Put him in one of those kid boot camp things, at the parent’s expense. Giving him a juvenile criminal record? naah. He didn’t assault anyone, he was disruptive in class.
He didn't go to jail. He was detained by the school resource officer and turned over to his mother.
Clearly you did not read for comprehension. The kid was released to his mother, not sent to jail.
No mention of a father, btw....
He was dumped on his parents.
Let's see. The kid was removed outside because he was continually disruptive and the resource officer had to pepper spray him because he was threatening the officer. A little more than a 'fart blower'.
It sounds like your concept of arrest doesn't match up with the description from the story. "Arrest" doesn't mean taken to the local jail. If the kid is taken to the principal's office and held there until his mother arrives to pick him up, he is "under arrest".
