No child seems to have been locked up. The kids are being questioned without parents or lawyers present, and the case itself is baseless, but not sure where locked up bit comes in.
- QuercusMax 7y agoAre they free to go? Sure sounds like they're being held against their will, which is one form of being "locked up". If I lock you inside my house and prevent you from leaving, I can be charged with false imprisonment, even though you're not in a prison.

- saq7 7y agoAs another commentator mentioned, these kids aren’t free to leave. As you said, there aren’t any lawyers or parents present. Not sure how you aren’t classifying their situation as locked-up. They have no liberty or agency, and putting them in a cell will not change their predicament in the slightest. They are locked up
