(3,891 posts)Then the kid will have the charges dropped for Entrapment. The police officer will be fired, and charged with child endangerment. After all it can not be argued that the special needs kid was or is capable of normal adult understanding. The kid is in special needs for a reason. So the police officer endangered the child's welfare by introducing him to a criminal element, drug dealers. Further, the cop clearly showed the drug dealers that special needs kids can be easily duped into being mules for the transportation of their drugs.
I'd say give the cop life in the electric chair. Whoever allowed him to go undercover, fire them and forfeit their retirements. Sanction the Police Department and make them pay restitution to the family. Have I missed anything?
