The 12-year-old stood her ground when confronted by a small town police chief who told her it was illegal to film him and post it on the Internet. Patagonia, Ariz., offered full apology.
By Tom Jackman Tom Jackman Reporter covering criminal justice locally and nationally Email Bio Follow February 28 at 12:27 PM Even in a new town, with new friends and new stories, 12-year-old crime reporter Hilde Kate Lysiak knew her rights. And when she was pursuing a story in the small town of Patagonia, Ariz., last week, she stood firm and shot video of the town police chief telling her, “If you put my face on the Internet, it’s against the law.”The national news media picked up on the story.
Hilde and her family are thrilled. She wrote a statement early Thursday, then flew off to Florida to make a speech at a book signing. She, with help from her father, author Matthew Lysiak, has written five books for Scholastic about being a young crime reporter and solving cases in her hometown of Selinsgrove, Pa., where the Orange Street News was created.
The encounter with Marshal Patterson was not Hilde’s first since she began working the beat in Patagonia, and she’d had plenty of experience with cops in Selinsgrove. When the police there came down on her hard two years ago, “I told her to take it as a real compliment,” Lysiak said. “They’re treating you like a real reporter.”
