Mother Refuses to Sign Son's Probation Terms for Public Urination

Family's Attorney Files Motion for Case Dismissal or Trial, Alleges Racial Motivation

Latonya Eason, the mother of 10-year-old Quantavious Eason, has refused to sign her son's probation agreement after he was sentenced to three months of probation and a book report for urinating in public.
The probation terms were similar to those for an adult, including prohibitions on the use of weapons and mandatory drug tests at a probation officer’s discretion.
The family's attorney, Carlos Moore, has filed a motion requesting the Tate County Youth Court either dismiss the case or set a trial, with a hearing scheduled for January 16.
Senatobia Police Chief Richard Chandler admitted that the officers involved in the arrest violated their training on dealing with children, and one of the officers is no longer employed.
Latonya Eason has announced plans to file a lawsuit alleging the incident was racially motivated.
