I hate it when kids cry while they are getting arrested if they have done a lot of stealing and stuff like that.
Were you crying when you stole that necklace? No!
OH OKAY
SAY HE WAS STEALING FROM PEOPLE AND DISRECPTING YOU AND HURTING OTHER PEOPLE
I SAY MOCK ARREST
BY YOUR LOGIC YOU'D SAY YOU'RE GROUDED FOR A WEEK.
I never said it would damage the kid forever, but my thing was they never said what the kid did but since it was a kid I was inclined to believe it wasn't that bad. It really depends on what happened.
Im my opinion it is wrong to do this to a child. Kids make mistakes, that's normal. It's the parent's job to teach them, what is wrong and what not. And if you're a good parent, it will work. There is always a reason for bad behaviour and mostly it's the parent's fault. And THIS MOTHER totally lost the trust of her child. Because if she tells him that she is responsible for his facked arrest, how can he ever trust her again? He just leaned not to trust his mother. A mother should support her child in a positiv way and not like this.
SO, I looked up the story and apparently the reason for this mock arrest was because her son was misbehaving in class and not doing his work. Take from this what you will.
It also depends on the circumstances, if the kid is stealing and similar behaviors he may as well experience his future now while he can still change it. But if he is just refusing to do his homework or something it's traumatic overkill.
This is a terrible thing to do to a child. If you create in their mind that the police are the "Boogeyman" who will come and arrest you for small infractions, they will grow up to fear the police. If the child needs help when they are older, they may not run to the police for help. Raise them to respect and trust police when they are young and they will be better citizens for it when they are older.
How does pretending to arrest a child make them think the police are monsters?
Even if in places like Baltimore where those 6 guys were assholes, police do more good than harm.
And if arresting your son for stepping out of line more than enough is what it comes to, and you disagree, I hope you do something equally good or at least better. Otherwise your children will grow up like OPs.
If the mother had done her job as a parent in the first place, she wouldn't need to resort to using the police as a teaching method. Police can do more good than harm but only if you teach children to respect the police. "Be good or the police will get you!" is not a great way to raise any child. BTW, it was five men and one woman indicted in Baltimore, MD.
A parent isn't supposed to give up on their child. If you truly can't control your child, you need to seek professional help, not have the police conduct a mock "arrest".

There are cases where professional help does not work.
That is when you need to go Beyond Scared Straight on them to teach them what is going to happen. This is a warning to the child.
I guess it all just depends on what the son was doing.
If we was stealing and fighting, yes it was called for
If all he was doing was normal kid tantrums and such then it wasn't

He's been doing that since elementary school.
