First, moron Nieves, you have to prove that the boy attempted to have custody. The article does not indicate anywhere that he attempted to do that. Second, have you ever heard of the the concept of the "good Samaritan" regarding people who are in distress?
“He was in custody of the child and had no authority to be so,’’ said Capt. Angelo Nieves.”
1) Really? If so, how did he get custody? Did the mother of the girl give it up, or did she neglect to protect her custody with due diligence? Surely, there is no allegation of forced abduction.
2) Since both are minors, how do we know that the little girl did not have custody of the 14-year old? Perhaps the police overlooked that the little girl also may have committed a heinous offence.
3) What are you supposed to do, you moron, if you find a toddler wandering around alone, if not take care of her temporarily until the parent is located?
“The thing is to make clear we have not charged him with an offense that did not occur.”
Again. Really? There’s a teleological argument if I ever saw one. He assumes the conclusion to help draw his conclusion. I conclude differently. If there was any false imprisonment there that day, it was of the 14-year old by the police.
