answer:To arrest the parent for the action of a six year-old seems harsh, even if she was advised the first time it happened. Kids do the darnedest things all on their own. It seems like it would be better to find out why she watching her son, as well as ask the child why he went ahead and did it again after being told not to. In talking to them, as an officer, it might be more beneficial to call in Child Protection Services to have them investigate. But to arrest the mother? I wouldn’t have done it.
