Interesting Fact - Law
More than 209,000 young people were detained by police in England and Wales in 2010. (2,117 of those arrested were under the age of 11. T he police have even arrested some children for throwing sticks at a horse chestnut tree (we do that to get the conkers, and yes, I have done it - even as an adult), but b elieve it or not, t he number of children actually arrested has fallen in recent years . I have the sneaking suspicion that children are easy targets, whilst hardened criminals may be dangerous. I know who I'd rather go after.)
