Personally, I think these children got what they deserved, as one person said on slashdot
"I mean, if a police officer can't haul three twelve-year-olds to jail on spurious charges, take mugshots, and record DNA samples, how are we ever going to win the war on terror?"

or

"Unbeknownst to these children we've secretly switched their country with new freeze-dried Third Reich. Let's watch and see their reaction."



The fact this story came from the Daily Mail and no other paper seems to even briefly mention it would imply there is a good chance it was made up to "wind up" a few people.

Lock the fuckers up! If only there was capitol punishment!

Serves them right, the climby little bastards!

Actually... you think THAT'S bad

Look at what kids are up to these days!!!

haha arrested for climbin a tree HAHA!!
i'd say they were doin more....i'd say they were fuckin hackin iinto that tree, then, someone prolly told em to stop, so they told them to fuck off...newspapers always dampen things to make the police look like they're in the wrong.......or mabey everythin was true and the police were being dickheads...
