Mississippi law says indecent exposure is a misdemeanor punishable by a $500 fine or less than six months imprisonment for adults. Chandler said the Youth Court Act allows officers to file a referral against children 10 years old if they commit an act otherwise illegal if they were an adult.

A 10-year-old boy was just handed a sentence in youth court following an incident that shocked the nation: a Mississippi officer tried to put him in cuffs for peeing in a parking lot.

Third grader Quantavious Eason was apprehended on Aug. 10 after a Senatobia police officer spotted him relieving himself next to his mother’s car while she was inside an attorney’s office. Attorney Carlos Moore argues any child would’ve done the same thing, considering he couldn’t locate a bathroom.

After she gave Quantavious her “You know better, don’t do that ish again,” talk, Eason said the officer let them off with a warning. However, the situation she thought was handled escalated only moments later.

Authorities say Quantavious wasn’t handcuffed but was taken down to the police station while his mother, Latonya Eason, followed. However, even after explaining the circumstances, the cops weren’t willing to let him off easy.

Then four other Senatobia police officers, including a lieutenant arrived, according to Eason. She said her son was arrested, put in a police vehicle and taken to a police station. Eason said the arresting officer said he had to take action. He “was like, ‘Yeah, I got to arrest him. He can’t do that.’ He made my son get out of the car, told my baby to put his hands behind his back and they took him to the patrol car.” Senatobia is located in northern Mississippi, less than 30 miles south of the Tennessee state line.

Though Senatobia Police Chief Richard Chandler asserted Quantavious wasn’t handcuffed in the incident, Moore said in a press conference that he was held in a cell for nearly an hour awaiting Youth Court Referral paperwork before being released back to his mother.

Mississippi law says indecent exposure is a misdemeanor punishable by a $500 fine or less than six months imprisonment for adults. Chandler said the Youth Court Act allows officers to file a referral against children 10 years old if they commit an act otherwise illegal if they were an adult.

He admitted that it was an error in judgement for the boy to be taken down to the station in a patrol car when his mother was present.

Following an internal investigation, one officer involved in the arrest left the department, per CNN’s report. However, Eason wants an apology and accountability from the rest of the officers.

“Termination ain’t good enough. You don’t let him just resign after he placed my son in the backseat of a car. You put my child in a cage like he was a dog or something,” she said. “My child didn’t deserve that.”

Moore said in a press conference they will file a federal lawsuit alleging Fourth and Fourteenth amendment violations.

Race Played Role In Sentencing Of Black Child, 10, For Urinating In Public, Lawyer Says

A 10-year-old Black child in Mississippi who urinated in public in August was sentenced Tuesday in youth court to three months’ probation, a decision the child’s attorney says was influenced by race.

Quantavious Eason, who is in the third grade, was arrested by Senatobia police Aug. 10 after a police officer saw him relieving himself outside next to his mom’s car when the woman was inside an attorney’s office, according to family attorney Carlos Moore.

Given the circumstances, any child would have done the same thing, Moore said. He noted there was no public restroom at the attorney’s office.

“He did what any reasonable person would do: He urinated next to the car behind the door — not exposing himself to anyone,” Moore said. “He would not have been arrested, prosecuted or sentenced if he was any other color, race, besides Black.”

Moore said he’s baffled that an arrest was made, that prosecutors then pursued the case, and that a youth judge this week oversaw a sentence that included probation and requiring Quantavious to write a two-page report about Kobe Bryant.

Quantavious was charged in youth court with being a child in need of supervision, Moore said. The child is required to check in with a probation officer once a month for three months, Moore said.

“We are not going to appeal. He will not have a criminal record, this is probation. And he is a fan of Kobe Bryant, so he doesn’t mind writing the two-page report,” Moore said. “But, still, the principle of it — he should not have to do anything. He should be enjoying his Christmas holiday like the other kids.” -(source: nbc news)

A Black mother by the name of Latonya Eason is upset after a squad of police officers showed up and detained her 10-year-old son for public urination.

The incident happened while Eason was seeking legal advice from the Senatobia attorney's office. A police officer then notified her that Quantavious was urinating behind her vehicle.

"He said, 'Mom, my sister said they don't have a bathroom there,'" she recounted. The cop was going to let the family off with a warning, but a bunch of officers suddenly pulled up, according to Eason. That's when a police lieutenant reportedly told her he had to go to jail for what happened. The boy said he was left in tears. He was reportedly charged with child in need of services and received a youth court referral.

It seems the mother of a Mississippi boy arrested for peeing in public is putting her foot down in the case against him. The boy was recently handed a probation sentence but after viewing the terms and conditions, but his mother said she isn’t signing off on anything.

Latonya Eason’s son Quantavious was apprehended by a Senatobia police officer in August after the boy was seen urinating near his mother’s car in a parking lot, police said. Eason said she was handling business inside an attorney’s office and left her son in the car during the meeting. But after not being able to locate a restroom, she said he resorted to urinating outside.

Tate County Youth Court Judge Rusty Harlow sentenced the 10-year-old to three months of probation and ordered him to complete a two-page book report on the late Kobe Bryant, per NBC’s report. Why? No idea.

Additionally, Quantavious has an 8 p.m. curfew as if a 10-year-old has places to be after that time. He was also prohibited from the use of weapons and ordered to submit drug tests at the probation officer’s discretion, according to family attorney Carlos Moore.

“It’s just a regular probation. I thought it was something informed for a juvenile. But it’s the same terms an adult criminal would have,” Moore said via NBC.

Read more from NBC News:

Latonya Eason, the mother of Quantavious Eason, had initially planned on signing the agreement to avoid the risk of prosecutors upgrading her son’s charge, as they threatened, but she changed her mind after reading the full agreement Tuesday, attorney Carlos Moore said. The prosecution threatened to upgrade the charge of “child in need of supervision” to a more serious charge of disorderly conduct if the Quantavious’ family took the case to trial, Moore said. After advising Quantavious’ mother not to sign the probation agreement, Moore filed a motion requesting the Tate County Youth Court either dismiss the case or set a trial. A hearing on that motion has been scheduled for Jan. 16.

Senatobia Police Chief Richard Chandler said the officer involved in the boy’s arrest violated their training on how to deal with children. Eason previously noted that she was denied the ability to drive her son to the station because the cops insisted on putting him in the patrol car.

However, per NBC, Chandler said those officer in question are “no longer employed” and suggested other officers would be disciplined. Eason ialso announced plans to file a lawsuit alleging the incident was racially motivated.
