How the hell do you mistake an 11 year old for a 20 year old.

Were we always this dumb or is it the polluted environment that's fucked us up beyond belief?

That depends if you weigh more or less than a duck. I can’t be conversing with witches!

See, in New Zealand this is a mistake and everyone's mortified. In America, this would start a massive national shitfight with 33% of the country screaming the nurses and police did nothing wrong and the girl and her family should be deported and/or executed. One person only tangentially related to the actual arrest would receive any kind of discipline or punishment; everyone else would get at least a bonus and maybe a promotion.
