^ Think B.A is vexed at the story, sounded like you were scapegoating a bit and got caught in the cross fire there.

Anyway, why did the kid lash out at the teacher? If she intends to press charges there'll need to be evidence that the assault was an act of aggression rather than one of retaliation.

No scapegoating but perhaps the officers were teaching the kid a lesson, nanny state style, seriously can't see where they would have been going with that one, can hardly take an 8 year old to the police station he has rights, under age for arrest in the first place.

Stoke the fire beat the flame as they say.
