If he was there because he committed a crime what is your problem. Instead of worrying about his name on a piece of paper maybe your daughter should worry about doing a better job raising him and maybe in the future there will be no reason for his name to be on a piece of paper at the police station. Give me a break.

How does she know it was him? It could be someone with the same name? The most that will happen is someone will get verbally told off for letting your daughter into a part of the Police Station where your grandson's name was seen. Either she wasn't supposed to have been allowed into that part of the Police Station, or the bit of paper shouldn't have been left lying around where she was likely to be. If you're that worried about it, go to your local Police Station and ask to speak to the duty Sgt. But is it really worth wasting their time with this - they have far more important things to be getting on with, like catching criminals.

What exactly would you like to take further? The fact that the police have intelligence records? Is that wrong? I don't actually see what the problem is. If the police wish to arrest your grandson, then he'll know about it soon enough, if not, then I don't see the problem. Police hold intelligence records on a whole host of things, from murderers to people who have noisey parties to kids who throw fireworks around.
I would just leave it alone. It's highly unlikely that the police will inform you, as his grandmother , why his name was on the paper anyow.

Unless you have a time machine laying around, there is nothing you can do about the fact that your daughter saw said paper. If she's your daughter, is she the mother of your grandson?? Regardless, she's older and should go to him and get the facts and deal with it.
If you hide young family members' problems from the older members who can help you, then the police will soon be on first name basis with all of your family members.

What ???. I think you should stop being nosey if he was there its his own concearn not yours and in all fairnes the police respect that by not telling the reason.. Maybe you should be quizzing the boy if you have nothing better to do twitch some curtains..
There is also the fredon of information act. But he needs to apply. You can not ask for another persons information held.

There is nothing you can do.If he was at the police station it seems reasonable that his name would be on paper though better care should have been taken to stop others seeing it.

wwhy would you want to aggrevate this situation any further? make an official complaint in writing to the police station senior officer and ask for an explanation... I doubt you will get anything from this if your motivation is ££ compensation. forget it and move on in your life.

Shouldn't worry about it. Just send a letter to the police station asking them to take steps to not leave lying around pieces of paper with people's names on them.

Ask around in the station to see if anyone is willing to correspond. For all you know, the officers working on the scooter case wanted to know how to spell your grandson's name. Most likely, it is nothing to worry about.
Either way, talk to your grandson and see how he is doing to make him comfortably/ less likely to repeat his actions.

If your grandson is a minor, one of his parents should have been present if he was brought in for questioning anyway would think. Have one of his parents call the police department, ask for the shift supervisor, and tell them they demand to know what happened, if he is a minor.
