“It’s not for punishment,” said Palm Beach Gardens police spokeswoman Ellen Lovejoy. “It’s to get him into the system for treatment so that he can be evaluated and get whatever treatment is needed. It could have been much worse, and this is not normal behavior for a 7-year-old.”
Ms. Lovejoy obviously doesn’t know some of the 7 year old boys I do.
