Random (Ridiculous) article I read, not graphic

I read this article the other day about a mom at the playground calling the cops on a 3 year old for running into her daughter!
I figured you ladies would find it interesting and probably just as ridiculous as I did.

    Wow.

    The other day I was at Chick-Fil-A with my two-year old and he'd climbed up in the play structure with some bigger kids. All of a sudden I heard him crying. An older (teenage?) girl that was there watching a couple of the older kids (her nephews or cousins, I think) helped my son climbed down and one of the kids explained what happened. Someone had grabbed my son's wrist.

    Should I have called the cops? These kids were maybe 5-8 years old. So a bit bigger than my son, but kids none the less.

    I'm in disbelief that a mom would call the police on a 3-year old, even if the accident injured her own kid.

    Just wow.

    @mamaowl15 I completely agree. When I read it I told my SO about it and he was speechless. I just don't understand peoples thought process. And then to say that she didn't show up for an extended period of time when she was right there and another mom she didn't know baked her up just makes it worse.

    Wow. That woman is crazy. I hope she read this article. Just wow.
    I will admit, the fact that the author made this into a racial issue kinda rubbed me the wrong way tho.

    Something like this happened at my son's daycare! Mom walked in and saw a child hit her child and called the police to file a report! The police came and interviewed the mom, staff and child who was kicked. Due to laws they could not interview the kicker....insane!

    Reading the article, I kind of wondered why she mentioned race at all - it seemed somewhat irrelevant, especially in light of her mentioning that the mother who called the police had a limited command of English. However, in light of the current racial climate in our country, I wouldn't blame a black person for wondering, in a situation like this, if their race had anything to do with how they were treated.
    Sometimes, with certain articles I read, I want to shout, "not everything that happens to you is about race!" But I realize, as a white person, my race is rarely something I'm forced to continually be aware of. (And I say rarely and not never, because I've been in situations where I was the minority and hyper-aware of my race).
