I wonder about how the "potentially suicidal" girl will react to the treatment. I mean generally speaking, most people consider suicide, when they feel like they are unwanted, in a big, uncaring world, where nobody gives a shit about them. So imagine how negatively reinforcing it probably is, to have cops called on you, and find yourself cuffed, tossed into a squad car, threatened with mace by a female cop (in theory the more likely empathetic of the ones on site, at least in the mind of a child), and to have the others just say to do it anyway, like it's a chore. And then to have them actually mace you. I mean, as far as "examples of a society that doesn't give a shit about you" that's pretty high up there.
