Your view is simply wrong. You do not get to define "arrest". And it would appear it was an arrest. Likely even more complex as it was in the school system as well opening up another set of laws and regulations.
It was a monumental screwup by those in authority no matter how you examine it.
go back to law school, you flunked. The monumental screw up was the ******* kid's and his rabble rousing parents.
A Texas teenager who became a global sensation after he was arrested for bringing a homemade clock to school that was mistaken for a bomb will be meeting foreign dignitaries at the United Nations this week, a family friend said on Tuesday.
Ahmed Mohamed, 14, a Muslim student who dabbles in robotics and attended a Dallas area high school, touched off a social media firestorm with many seeing his the arrest as being tied to his religion.
He also won support from President Barack Obama who personally invited him to the White House for an astronomy night and Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg, who said, "having the skill and ambition to build something cool should lead to applause, not arrest."

Wrong again, par for the course! Did you not read what I posted to you earlier? Of course not because you would have to admit you know not what you speak of. Parents do NOT need to be notified when detained and questioned. They can actually arrest him too without parents present but can NOT question him until they are. An arrest is AFTER Miranda rights are read. Did he have his Miranda rights read? He was detained, questioned and let go. Perfectly legal.

Your original quote continues in a way you might want to read.
********************
If any one (adult or minor)is in custody and not given the Miranda warning no statements made by them can be used later against them. However, prior to being placed in custody any statements made can be used; or if they were read their rights and made voluntary statements after, those statements may be used. Whether or not your son's rights were violated you should consult directly with a juvenile law attorney in your area as to how best to handle this situation.
******************
I would think the kid was clearly " in custody".
You can stop a kid and question him on the street. But as soon as you get him in a situation where he is not able to leave he is in custody. This is not a Terry stop.
This is a classic move in the liberal playbook. It's called the "double down". You can observe it right here in this thread, with commentators declaring that little Ahmed had his rights violated for being questioned by police (lol).
His rights would have been violated if he were detained, arrested (which would necessitate having his Miranda rights read) and then refused access to his parents or lawyer. Of course he was not charged with any crime, but the posters here can't admit that they're wrong, so they double down on their logical fallacies.
Likewise, Obama and fools like Zuckerberg can't admit that they were wrong. So now perhaps instead of insisting that Ahmed is a master genius inventor of timepieces who was the victim of a racist culture, he's instead an ambassador for "science" (who is also a victim, somehow). They need to come up with something to save Ahmed's character, and thereby salvage some of their own reputation. Of course, anyone who has enough engineering sense to tie their own shoelaces realizes that Ahmed is a fraud and invented NOTHING. But you also need to remember... people who buy into these narratives don't exactly care about the truth, nor do they have any interest in rational thinking.
These are people who get their news from Twitter hashtags and funny pictures on Facebook timelines, and stuff like this gives them a self-righteous shot of dopamine.

"Curious young scientists, inventors and builders like him should be encouraged and empowered," Mariette DiChristina, editor in chief of Scientific American and chief judge of the Google Science Fair, wrote in a blog post."
Next, we'll be seeing a movement for a statue of Ahmed the Clock Maker at the National Watch and Clock Museum.
The irony of it all are these "science" people who apparently threw all rational thought and scientific reasoning out the window by not waiting for the facts/evidence to come out before jumping to conclusion.
If indeed this all keeps looking as shady as it is starting to, then to say they should be embarrassed and humiliated is an understatement.

That the clock is an underachievement is true. That the kid got jumped on for being Muslim also appears true. The school and the police got carried away apparently driven by the ethnicity. And that becomes more credible in a town running an idiot campaign against Sharia.
