    False Charges and Arrest Against Teen
    An officer appeared at our home 8.3.07 accusing my son of breaking into a home and taking a DVD player on 8.2.07..my son was home all that day and night SLEEPING with a cold. I know this because i kept checking on him all day. My son states that the portable dvd was given to him by a kid he knows in exchange for a pair of shorts that my son has. My son gave the boy his gabuahs for the dvd..when my son realized the dvd player didnt work because he didnt have a charger..he took it back to the boy and got his shorts back. The kid who gave him the dvd was arrested..but says my son gave him the dvd. The officer let my son come home ..a week later this same detective called my job saying they had more evidence showing my son was at the scence of the crime and to bring my son in for more questioning. We go into the station for questioning and the detective still says the same things, but now says that he was told that my son was a lookout person or something.. and my son still stands by his word that he didnt know anything about a house being broken into until the officer knocked ont he door. . The officer has obviously becomes pissed that my son isn't saying what he wants to hear so he jumps up leaves the room and comes back in minutes later...The officer pulls out a picture from a well known website that black kids are known be have photos on and shows me pictures of my sons friends who he claims are in gangs.. the officer never said my son was in a gang but they arrested him today because he is "affiliated with gang activity"???? I am confused. How can they arrest someone for having pictures on a website and assume he is in a gang?? It's false accusations . They couldnt stamp him with one thing so they picked something else..I had a personal recorder and recorded the entire conversations and accusations, but they arrested my son for things he did not do and now he is in the system and is noy sitting in the RYDC awaiting court. I want to know if this is slander and is it legal to arrest someone like this falsely by assumption with NO evidence? My son is now 15 has never been in trouble. he's a chrstian kid who will jump in front of a car to save a dog and treats everyone with kindness and respect because that is how he was raised. My child has to appear in Detention court in the morning. We cant afford an attorney and i dont know what to do..Please help us.
