Never Help A Child
One 14-year-old Orlando boy's trip shopping with his mother ended with him paraded before TV cameras and charged with false imprisonment. The boy spotted a 3-year-old girl who had become separated from her mother, so he took her by the hand and told her they'd find her. The boy's mother joined the search and they quickly reunited the girl with the mother, who had been looking for her. The boy and his mother went back to shopping, but the girl's mother had a store employee call 911, and sheriff's deputies arrested the boy.
