Ms Maynard, a legal advocate, said the officer, who failed to identify
who she was, asked for the family's passports then asked "who's the
boy?".

I wonder if the grovelling apology would have been forthcoming if she
had been a shop worker from Bradford?

"My son is mixed race and the officer then told us, 'I believe you are
child trafficking'," she said.

Ah the race card.

When Ms Maynard asked the woman officer if she would be asked the same
question if her son was white, she said the officer replied: "Are you
accusing me of being a racist?"


Not racist just very, very stupid.

"I wish to reassure you that your highly unsatisfactory experience was a
very isolated incident."


My arse it is, the police are totally out of control.

Quoted in full no apologies. First and foremost, how did this get from a
ludicrous suspicion of child trafficking, to an even more ludicrous
arrest under the *Terrorism Act*?!

Because they can.
