Cops Under Investigation for Allegedly Jailing 3-Year-Old Son as Punishment

  • Two Florida police officers reportedly locked their 3-year-old son in a jail cell on multiple occasions as a form of discipline for potty training issues.
  • One officer admitted the child was handcuffed during the second jailing and said it was an effective way to teach the toddler a lesson.
  • The incidents came to light recently, but occurred last fall and sparked an internal investigation into the officers’ conduct.
  • The officers had been given 20 hours of unpaid leave last month in connection with the incidents.
  • The Florida Department of Children and Families is also aware of the case, though records have been sealed by the courts.
