Or they could just arrest him where he was at the time. Why wait?

then it can take place with less publicity

Why should it though? Showing that this kind of bullying isn't tolerated and seeing the imidete consequences of it in person is a great lesson for the other kids, too.

Anyone heard of innocent till proven guilty? Secondly you fine with heavy handed tactics? On a child no less?
