Sheriff supports deputies who detained 11-year-old girl by mistake and apologizes


An 11-year-old girl in Syracuse, New York was detained and handcuffed by sheriff’s deputies who mistook her for a suspect in a car theft case. The deputies defended their actions, saying that the girl matched the description of the suspect. The sheriff’s office later admitted that they should have notified the girl’s parents and changed their policy to do so in the future. The girl’s mother criticized the sheriff’s office for handcuffing her daughter and not informing her. The deputies used a photo sent to them to compare the girl with the suspect and determined that she was not the one they were looking for. The New York Civil Liberties Union condemned the deputies’ actions, pointing out racial bias and inadequate training as issues. The sheriff’s office claimed that handcuffing juveniles in such circumstances was common practice. The girl’s mother expressed shock and disbelief at the way her daughter was treated. The sheriff’s office promised to engage with the community and make further changes based on community input. The incident sparked controversy and renewed discussions about racial bias and law enforcement protocols in dealing with children.
