Undercover cop in high school befriends special-needs boy, gets him to buy pot

[rambone]

TEMECULA, CA -- A special-needs boy was befriended by an undercover cop in his government high school. The boy had few friends and quickly latched onto the cop, who "hounded" him to break the law.

The boy, age 17, had been diagnosed with autism, bipolar disorder, Tourette’s syndrome and various anxiety disorders.

First the cop tried to get the boy to sell him his prescription medications. But the boy refused. Then the undercover officer tried to convince the boy to acquire some marijuana to sell to him for $20. The undercover officer allegedly told the student he “needed” the drug to relieve tension at home.

After weeks of convincing, the kid returned to the cop with a “half joint he received from a homeless guy.” The boy was handcuffed in his classroom and taken to jail.

I'm sorry, I know it's inappropriate, but I couldn't help but laugh at the mental picture I had of the undercover cop slapping the cuffs on a mentally challenged boy in class. I didn't read the article either. The title was all I needed

And he'll likely get a promotion for busting this nefarious kingpin. Disgusting.

I did the same thing. The picture added only makes it worse!!!

Just goes to show you never know who the enemy is. I hope this brave officer gets a well deserved promotion.

Its so absurd it literally is comical. I don't understand locking up fully-cognitive adults for such insane reasons, let alone kids... kids with problems.

The kid was getting so anxious about the cop's pressure on him that he started burning himself with a lighter.

Finally, an entrapment defense that can work!!!

I see this is your first drug case that you have read about.

And here we have yet one more reason to home school your kids. Especially if they're special needs kids.

Yes. The homeschool list gets a lot of inquiries from parents who are pulling their children from the government schools because the absolute lack of care/attention to the needs of the students.

But then I think all children are special needs in as much as they all are unique, and the one-size-fits-all approach to government education has become so repulsive to me that I can't fathom any reason someone would continue to keep their kids enrolled by choice.

The man in blue is a friend to you.

He just saved us from having a drug dealer on the street.

And thus we lope ever close to precrime enforcement.

 

[rambone]

Be careful who your children befriend at school.

Maybe he can get a job with the fbi encouraging folks to purchase illegal materials to destroy bridges n such in order to arrest them and claim credit for stopping the offender.

I would like to hear the police side of this, I don't want to pass judgement on something that turns out the kid is a meth king in disguise......

pathetic

If undercover did not produce it was back to traffic patrol..................

If this is true at face value the undercover needs to be cuffed...then buffed. Use your imagination.

He probably conned the kid into trading dimes for nickels because the nickels are bigger.

I conned my brother into that when I was 10 and he was 5.

Then he went and bragged to my parents about what a good deal he got. Let's just say I never tried that sort of thing again.

You're all missing the most important question of all: Did he still have his wallet?

This is just about the most iron-clad case of entrapment in a 21 Jump Street setting I've ever heard about.
