"A Bronx mom of two who called 911 to ask police to come talk to her young son about why stealing is bad was wrongfully arrested and told by an NYPD officer “you black b----es don’t know how to take care of your kids,” a new lawsuit charges.
Tyeesha Mobley, 29, is suing the city, the NYPD and the Administration for Children’s Services, claiming she was handcuffed, roughed up and had her two children taken away from her for four months — all because of an innocuous request to have officers teach her 9-year-old about right and wrong.
“She was simply trying to make sure her son stayed on the right path,” her lawyer, Philip Sporn, told DNAinfo New York.
“This shouldn’t happen to anyone, let alone to a good mom with her kids.”
Mobley called 911 on April 16, 2014, after her 9-year-old, Tyleke, took $10 out of her purse, according to the lawsuit filed Friday in Bronx Supreme Court."
