It is the manner of the kidnapping of the boy that horrified the Russian people. I saw a policeman holding the boy by the shoulders while the child was screaming "Help me! Help me!" This is assault.A child of any age may be taken to police department in some certain cases. Suspicion of homeless is one of those legal reasons.A child can be held criminally liable for any offence committed from the age of 16. A person aged 14 or older can be held criminally liable for a number of offences specifically listed in Article 20(2) of the Criminal Code. [Criminal Code, Article 20(1) and (2)]Who told you that?In Russia, it is forbidden to arrest anyone under 16.You witnessed violation of the law by a child and good job of police to prevent it.I am not in the business of passing judgement on the parents of children based on one wearing a bikini on Facebook. I witnessed the police assaulting a nine year-old boy and then kidnapping him which is an abuse of police power
If one follows your logic police has no right to arrest a child even if he is killing someone or steals something.
If in your country it is allowed for children to beg for money than you have bad laws.
Where I live, children are not forbidden to be on our streets.
There are special jails for criminal teenagers.
Everything is done in another way but still a rest is possible...maybe it is called in other words.
In Russia children are not forbidden to be on streets either, don't try to play with words - I will lose this game or let's switch to Russian language.

The Russian boy who was assaulted and kidnapped by the Moscau police was 9 years of age.
Police in that case must inform his parents. Exactly what was done in the discussed case.
The police could have telephoned the boy's parents if they imagined he was violating some ordinance. There was no need to take him to a police station. The nearby woman could have assisted the police as she is the partner of the boy's father. Were I a bystander, I would have been arrested by the police because I would have intervened to protect the child from police abuse.
