The child was returning home from school in New York state when she was detained by authorities, causing her to break out in tears, video showed.
An 11-year-old girl was filmed being handcuffed on a street corner by authorities in New York state after being wrongly identified as a suspect in a car theft, drawing outrage from the child’s mother and a prominent civil rights group.
The girl was reportedly returning home from school Monday in Syracuse with other children when deputies with the Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office singled her out as the suspect due to her clothing.
The girl, who is Black, was wearing a pink, puffy jacket and camouflage pants, similar to what was worn by the suspect, authorities said.
The girl was handcuffed for about seven minutes as deputies compared an image of the suspect with the detained child, authorities said. Upon realizing their mistake, they released her with an apology and said that she looked similar to the wanted person.
“I mean, I’m sorry, you could see how it could match that description,” one of the deputies told her, according to video of the incident shared by Syracuse.com.
