You are a police officer responding to a disturbance call. Upon arriving at
the scene, you discover 2 adolescents are restraining a younger child. The
two adolescents inform you that the younger child was caught stealing a
bicycle from a neighbor’s backyard and they held him until you arrived. The
child is 8 years old and has not had any prior contact with the juvenile
justice system or your police agency. The neighbor from whom the child
took the bike is not home. The two adolescents state that they want you to
arrest the boy because he is a problem in their neighborhood. He is
disrespectful to others and tends to bully children who are younger than he.
The boy is crying and pleading with you not to arrest him and promises that
he will never do it again. The boy lives about two blocks away from where
the incident took place and states that his parents are both at home.
