City police and higti school authorities wete involved in a sad experience over the -
weekend and the matter, we believe, should be brought to attention of the general
public.
There are extenuating circumstances in some cases handled by police but com
missioners should insist, in the future, aside from a major crime, that officers reirain
from performance of' their duty in public and parochial schools, especially during
school hours.
Friday last a 14-year-old student, believed involved in a case under investigation
by police, was taken from the high school accompanied by a police officer. He was trans
ported to police headquarters in the cruiser and immediately upon arrival at the
station was the victim of mistaken identity. He was returned to school at once
The child already has suffered some embatrassment as a result of the error.
1'olice. no doubt, have learned a lesson which should serve to make them ever cautious
in similar cases.
School officials should be more hesitant to accede to the wishes of police in such
cases. Parents of children should be considered. These children are in custody of school
teachers and officials during school hours and the routine should not be d srupted,
especially by police, unless the matter is extremelv urgent.
- Usually all children are reared to respect police officers and school officials. Unless
there is some reciprocation on th'e part of all public servants such admiration and re
spect may well depreciate.
We cite the above case, not to condone in the least any commission of misde
meanor or crime, but to impress that police and school officials have certain obligations
in relation to respect of a child's character and that of parents.
