It disgusts me that the police would arrest a 12 year old! They should have drove him home to his parents house and talked with the parents. Making him feel like a criminal will only further the problem!!!!!!!!

Scare him now, and maybe this will prevent the problem in the future, rather than furthering it. These kids need to know this is serious stuff and they are not immune from any consequences.

If a 12 year old is in possession of drug paraphernalia, my guess is there are other, significant problems at home. Sure, you can talk to the parents. My guess is, they are part of the problem. I say arrest them and treat them like a criminal. At the very least, it might scare them for a while. I mean..... criminals don't start being criminals once they've reached an adult age. The seeds are typically planted in youth and begin at home.

"Making him feel like a criminal" ummm..... he is. What he did was illegal. Children must see/feel the consequences of their choices in order to learn from them. If he fails a test- sure, talk to his parents. If he has drug paraphernalia....those consequences ought to be much tougher!

It's called "tough love" Oswego Resident, if you do the crime, be willing to do the time! Maybe he will learn his lesson, hopefully.

I agree Christy, it's sad that this 12 year old is using drugs (possibly/allegedly). I believe this is a result of the devaluation of life, glorification of the under-world culture and the desperate times many people find themselves in. Drug abuse happens even in the best of times, I know that, I am not naive. But stories like this indicate it's entangling even younger people. I wish we knew what the answer was. My side (Republicans) tend toward stricter enforcement and harsher punishment and the other side (Democrats) tend toward social-type intervention programs. I think both methods have failed to one degree or the other. Maybe if both sides cooperated and told the darn truth once in a while we could actually make some progress.

If these kids are going to commit these crimes they should be arrested. I've seen many young kids, too young to drive smoking pot in various places in my neighborhood & it's infuriates me! One day I found drug paraphernalia & a joint stashed in my mailbox. From talking to area teens, there's several "dealers" as young as 12!! It breaks my heart. But if the parents aren't stopping the kids and/or punishing them (we don't know the whole story here) then the police must get involved. Maybe the parents called the police??

it's not a new phenomena, I was smoking weed at the ripe old age of 13, and that was in 1974.
It might be a little more prevalent, and the weed is a lot more potent these days, but to say this is a new or recent event is just wrong. And guess what, it was illegal back then, kids got arrested back then. Nothing is new.
And no, I'm not the same poster as Oswego Resident above. Apparently we both have the same screen name.

I say search the home I'm willing to lay odds if a kid that young got his hands on paraphernalia that he got it at home and his parents are to be looked at.Kids don't just start doing drugs or having that kind of stuff without some sort of influence.

I would argue differently, TBH. In my case anyway, it had nothing to do with my parents. They are good, god fearing parents that raised three really good kids. One of them started smoking pot with his friends at an early age. When I got caught by the cops, my dad hammered me, hard. Needless to say, I didn't stop smoking at that point, just got smarter about it. My parents did learn a lot about me though, and were much more diligent. I lost a lot of trust and respect in their eyes, rightfully so. But we all grew up and moved on and became good citizens raising our own families. Needless to say, one of my own kids started smoking pot during high school and I knew right away. You can't fool and old fooler for very long :)
Hopefully this kid will learn his lesson and move on to better habits sooner than later. But I wouldn't bet on it.

Drugs, pot, DUI's, burglary, theft, criminal trespass , battery, bullying, gangs violence, teen suicides, anorexia, bullemia, vandalism you name it kids do it, MORE and MORE every decade. There is no better time then now to get real tough on our kids, if we don't everyone suffers.
