The family of a 7-year-old New York boy is suing police and the city for $250 million, saying cops handcuffed and interrogated the boy for ten hours after a scuffle over lunch money at school.

Wilson Reyes, a student at Public School 114 in the Bronx reportedly got into a fight with a fellow student in December after he was accused of taking $5 of lunch money that had fallen on the ground in front of him. Responding to a complaint of assault and robbery, the police were called and took the boy to the local police precinct where officers allegedly handcuffed and interrogated him for ten hours, according to the lawsuit.

"Imagine how I felt seeing my son in handcuffs," Wilson's mother, Frances Mendez, told the New York Post. "It was horrible. I couldn't believe what I was seeing," she said.

There's more to the story though...

The purported victim of a tiny Bronx thug wishes the NYPD kept his 7-year-old tormentor permanently handcuffed.

Elementary schooler Seth Acevedo told the Daily News that he only felt safe from Wilson Reyes after the cruel third-grader was busted last month for beating and robbing him.

“Wilson was the worst bully,” said Seth, 9, in an interview Wednesday with the Daily News. “He would call me names. He would punch and kick me. I wish they never took the cuffs off of him.”

A lawyer for the Reyes family is considering a $250 million lawsuit against the city and the NYPD, claiming the boy was wrongfully handcuffed and held for six hours inside the 44th Precinct stationhouse.

But Seth and his mom unmasked Wilson as a serial bully — and said the arresting officers did the right thing by slapping restraints on their small suspect.

“I would have handcuffed him, too,” snapped the boy’s mother, Janet Ramos.

The 4-foot-7, 75-pound Wilson slugged Seth in the face and robbed him of $5 as he walked home after school on Nov. 30, the victim recounted.

It's going to be interesting to see how this plays out.
 
Bully or not under what circumstance does a child have to be placed under arrest over 5 dollars and then handcuffed and questioned by cops.
 
Parents are ******g up with this wilson kid. they make it seem like the kid was given that cameras off phonebook across the face treatment. i think its a good scare tactic to try to get the kid straight. the time was excessive tho.


...unless kid feels good about the fact he got arrested.

This is my stance as well. I think it can serve as a good lesson, and of course the mom is seeking a payday out of this. She shouldn't see a dime.

umm you dont kill a fly with a sledge hammer...NYPD interference in public school is completely overkill.

I don't give a ****.

I have more of an issue w/ the piss-poor parenting going on than what the NYPD did by handcuffing and interrogating him. Some kids NEED that. Hopefully this will serve as a wake-up for him.
 
It's illegal to arrest and detain/question a minor under 17 years of age in NYC, without parental consent.

Hope the NYPD has to pay through their teeth and the children of the responding officers are criminalized and dehumanized in the same manner.

da NYPD aren't in da business of parenting, they will pay handsomely in settlements for being morons.
 
anyone cosigning the handcuffing of a 7 year old child is a ******g idiot flat out

kids get bullied in elementary school its what happens it's supposed to teach you to stand up for yourself but instead we'd rather raise a bunch of p****** my pops wouldve whooped my *** if I went home crying about some kid beating up on me

I hope she gets every cent nypd stays going too far this should've been a school matter at the most give the lil kid a detention

"kids need this" yea we should get lil black kids comfortable with mistreatment from law enforcement as they'll have to deal with it their whole lives

Not questioning you (because I don't know), but is that true? I did a QUICK search and couldn't find anything to corroborate with what you said....could you post something to back that up?

&

as far as the $$

Attorney Ron Kuby said that regardless of what the police find, the Reyes family will never collect anything near $250 million — but “no lawyer ever lost a case by adding too many zeroes to a damage request.”

From the NYDN article.

When I was a kid, I took a baseball bat to a fly.

i disagree to an extent.

He been bullying that little kid for months.

Robbery is robbery. He knew it was wrong and he still did it.

In his own words he was, "too little to go to jail".

I'm betting he told that to the arresting officer...well, how did that turn out?

On the flip side, the other kid is twice is size and his heart pump kool aid. He should've wiped the floor wit him.

He was bullying that kid for a long time and his mom is making him out to be the victim. What the **** is wrong with people?

Black people get bullied into adulthood, it's ok. It makes them stronger, let us celebrate the bullying black people have to endure in this country. I aint no punk. >:



It's never too early to learn about consequence, because many people grow up thinking there are no rules. The cops took it a bit far, but I hope this kids parents teach him a lesson. Probably won't.

The Irony is strong with this one. You sound like a damn fool, "bullying makes you tough" what NYC public housing complex gave you that mentality? If this kid goes on like this he'll be in spockford by the time he hits the 8th grade. Bullying is a serious problem in our schools that has to be curtailed.

man sit your *** down. I'm not defending the handcuffing but your logic is wrong and she is not getting near what she's trying to sue for
 
You made your point, b.

Its a bit excessive, but that lil ***** knew what he was doin. His moms a bird for using what could have been a lesson to her son to stop ****** with people, as a potential payday.

Again I ask, who is getting these women pregnant? :x

Kid is probably going to be a bad parent as well, perpetuating the cycle of ignorance.

I went to school right across the street from the projects and witnessed firsthand, kids kids who were bigger than the rest and felt they could take what they should earn. 9 times out of 10 they came from broken homes or their parents were in their early 20s, and thinks buying Jordans and Polo for your child makes you a good mother.
