All of those sound insanely high. If you take a group of 10 random adult men from the US, roughly four of them have been arrested?
Is a lot of it for underage drinking because that law is so far from lived reality?
I got arrested as a kid for skipping school! I was being sexually assaulted in the school bathroom and was terrified of leaving the house, but obviously the way to solve that was cuffing me and throwing me in juvie.
Wow that's fucked. In my country the kids going to school is the parents legal responsibility, they can actually get fined if the child is delinquent. But never would the child be arrested.
I'm very sorry that happened to you, both the sexual assault and the police treatment.
