Steal a rabbit, go to jail
even if you are only 9 years old.
what happened to society when the bunny-owner's parents insist on arrest?
they should've called the girls parents and worked it out.
But handcuffing a 3rd grader and doing a psych evaluation on her is a little heavy handed.
Its not like the girl brought a gun to school or anything. I doubt she is quite that disturbed.
But she might be scared enough by the experience not to ever to anything bad again, but maybe she will seek even bigger thrills with the cops and do something even worse. You never know what kind of psychological effect being arrested like this can have on a kid, especially a borderline case.
FURTHER THOUGHT: it's easter and this girl probably really wanted a bunny for easter. simple as that. you can't arrest the girl for stealing the easter bunny. she needs punishment, but not by the cops.
