Cops
handcuff, interrogate 7-year-old over missing $5
Police in New York City are
facing a $250 million lawsuit from a family who says police handcuffed and
interrogated their 7-year-old son over $5 that went missing on the playground.
The family of Wilson Reyes says their son was first handcuffed and held in a
room at his school for four hours before being taken to a local precinct.
There, they claim he was handcuffed to a pipe and questioned for another
six hours. The money, intended for a school trip, reportedly fell to the ground
in front of Reyes, and another boy allegedly picked it up. The city
disputes the family's account of how long Reyes was held, saying standard
procedure for a juvenile-robbery investigation was followed.

Odd the police will take action against a 7 year old and a missing $5.00 bill, but not if your cell phone or computer is stolen.
