When someone does something that is not allowed, like taking a cookie without asking, a grown-up might tell them to stop. In the real world, when someone breaks the rules or laws, a police officer might come to talk to them. This is called an arrest. It’s like a big timeout where the person has to stop what they are doing and talk to the police about what happened.

Think of it like a game where everyone has to follow the rules. If someone doesn’t follow the rules, the game stops and everyone has to figure out what went wrong. An arrest is like pausing the game to make sure everyone is playing fair and safe.

Imagine if someone is running too fast in a hallway, a teacher might ask them to slow down or stop. An arrest is similar because the police want to make sure everyone is safe and following the rules, so they might ask someone to stop and talk about what they did. It’s a way to keep everyone safe and make sure people understand the rules.
