Wow! Mom Asks Cops To Teach Her Sons A Lesson On Stealing. Cops Then Arrest The Mom.

[mfcorey1]

Tyeesha Mobley says New York City took her children away from her for four months, but it "felt like four years."

It all started one day last April, when the 29-year-old says she discovered that her youngest son, Keyshawn, had taken $10 from her purse. Wanting to teach him a lesson, she called 911.

Who better, Mobley thought, to teach her kids that stealing is "not the right thing to do" than the local police? Four officers responded to the call, and Mobley and the kids met them at a nearby gas station.

"Three of them was joking around with my son," Mobley told The Huffington Post. One told Keyshawn, who was only 4 years old, that he would "end up in the police car" if he kept stealing.

But a fourth officer was upset that Mobley had called 911 in the first place.

"This is not our job," Mobley says the unidentified officer griped.

"You black bitches don't know how to take care of your kids," the officer continued, according to a lawsuit Mobley has filed against the New York City Police Department and the city's Administration for Children's Services.

"You need to call the kids' father, not us," the officer added. "We can't raise your kids. Why are you wasting our time? We aren't here to raise your kid. Why don't you take your fucking kid and leave!"

Seeing how upset the officer was growing, Mobley says, she decided to take Keyshawn and her older son, Tyleke, 9, back to their apartment.

"Oh, where do you think you're going?" Mobley says the upset officer called after her as she headed home. He threw handcuffs around her wrists and Mobley pleaded to know why she was being arrested.

1. Well there was definitely a lesson learned

Never trust the police?

4. Never.

Handle things on your own, within the family, among neighbors, etc.

Police=Absolute Last Resort

2. The costs of lawsuits paid out should come directly from police budgets.

As it is, police agencies feel no pain for their misconduct. Settlements typically come from insurance companies whom the city pays. That means the costs are indirect and are assumed by the taxpayers. And the police misconduct continues.

3. Those kids certainly learned a lesson. Poor kids and mom. "due to the pending lawsuit" against foste

foster mom, not against that asshole cop?

6. The lawsuit is against the police dept and New York's Children's Services

The damage done by separating her children from her sounds worse. Months not living with their mother, a foster mother who didn't speak English fluently, alleged physical abuse - if the accusations are true, that's sustained incompetence and neglect, not just an asshole being an asshole on one day.

7. Thank you, I missed that and agree with your assessment.

5. That is abuse of the 911 system.

I don't think she should have been arrested, but come on.

8. I don't know what the point was in taking her kids away..?

Also, four officers showed up, and why?

But yes, I agree this was an abuse of 9-11. Waste of everyone's time.

[cwydro]

9. Yeah, that was bullshit.

The 911 operator handled the whole thing wrong in my opinion.

Still, I'm thinking mom is not too bright deciding to call the cops for a child handling issue.

I was a little shit, but my mom never called the cops on me.

[Quantess]

10. Unless, the cops noticed something that would justify child protective services come take a look.

We don't know the whole story.

[cwydro]

11. Very true.

I mean, I have to wonder about a mom who calls the cops on her own children.
