Boy arrested for accepting stolen chocolate from a friend - Video

australian police, its acts like this why we have psychologists scatching their heads.

Was the boy white or Aboriginal??? The Australian police have a bad history of mis-treating the native people.

god are the australian police force on crack?

Bloody stupid ^%$## !. As for keeping him locked up for several hours.... thats a no no!! And the justice system knows that 2! It makes me wonder do the Police go through the normal procedure and have an adult present with him while been questioned ?? Didnt think so... Not to say that I am supporting this 12 year old. His parents/caregivers should of been informed first and foremost because of his age! He should of been taken home and not left in the cell!He should not of been charged at all untill a Youth Court hearing has been set and prior to that is a FGC! I dont know how the system works in Ozzy.

Pathetic, and I bet the cops ate it afterwards haha.

Chocolate today, TV's and cars tomorrow, If you have something that you knew was stolen, your guilty. If you think that receiving of such a trivial stolen item is not a crime then you and your children will end up in jail one day!. Criminality is a state of mind, its learned by children from their parents or role models, simple really!.

How stupid is this, totally idiotic they're meant to be professionals for gods sake. I can't imagine what they'd do to him if he stole a rubber band,

Normally you take the child home to there parents, specially under age group where they cannot defence themselves..
The police should have it out with the under age childrens parents, that is our law, or has it changed..

that is just mental.. he didnt even steal it.. lucky guantanamo bay is closing or hed be up the creek even futher.
