She definitely needs to press charges in a civil trial. The police asking for dismissal of charges of unlawful arrest is a clear admission of guilt that would stand in any court of law.

If I did what the cops did it would be called kidnapping.

If they were willing to illegally arrest a minor, it follows that said minor is likely to be innocent of whatever crime or misdemeanor to which he stands accused.
For all we know, her son may have “slighted” one of their sons or daughters at school, and to teach him a lesson, they retaliate.

The complainant said she was aware police would be coming to apprehend her 11-year-old son based on a criminal complaint, and that she just wanted to see the warrant. Since the mom knew this was coming I would guess that there was a valid reason to arrest the kid.
The cops were jumping the gun. The cops should have just said well be back tomorrow.
Arresting the mom was just stupid arrogance of a cop; Too arrogant to be a cop. He should be fired.

Lots of Obama lovin' "first generation" Americans in Texas these days...especially in Slaton, the bung hole of the state. I think the town has a water tower and an Allsups. No self-respecting Texan would live there if they didn't have to. No surprises here.

“The Slaton Police Department has offered to apologize if the family agrees not to sue.”
Never tip your hand like that. Don’t these cops have lawyers?
Keep your words, get out your checkbook.

I didn’t realize Slaton had such a reputation within Texas.

Your ass and mine if we did something like this would be under the jail. But these criminals with badges will probably be promoted. And if that woman values her life, she should already left town to a place known only to her lawyer. Else she is going to either have an “accident”, or be arrested on trumped up charges and have a fatal “accident”in jail.

Well I do fit the profile. White, heterosexual, Christian, bitterly clinging to my guns and my religion.
