According to the kid, he did what was right based on the principles of respecting his elders, the police officers and the school executives were to blame for the results of the case. Figuring out the circumstances of the case, a 13-year-old kid is intimidated out of class in the presence of his friends. Officers, who mercilessly take the child in a private room to interrogate him, do this act. The child feels scared and out of it, he takes the chance of answering all the questions asked to him by the officer, this is also out of respect.
The officers were supposed to derive information from the child in a friendlier manner considering the age, and the circumstances’, locking the child up was a wrong step that they decided to pick. This makes it hard for the kid to express himself and convince them that he had not been up for the crime. Intimidating him by locking him at a corner was not a good way to push the boy into saying the truth; a 13-year-old age child has no knowledge about their rights before their seniors. This was not right and the officers had no legal grounds of taking such grounds in the name of interrogation.
Majority of the children, especially those who have had no past interaction with the law, would not have the courage of standing against any executive of law enforcement. According to my perspective, the officers should have taken the initiative of informing the kids’ parents about the issue. They would arrange a meeting together with the school head, and the parents take the boy in a separate room and interrogate him in a friendly manner. Eventually, this would result to the kid opening up and confess if it was true that he committed the actions and the issue would be resolved.
