The Police Athletic League in Jacksonville, Florida, has an inspirational slogan on the side of its building: Filling playgrounds, not prisons. But, ironically, it stands in stark contrast to the behavior of an officer whos accused of handcuffing an 11-year-old boy who was dribbling a basketball inside the building.

I cant believe these officers did this to my son , Bunmi Borisade told HuffPost. It hurts. They didnt even care he is a child.

Borisade, 33, said she and her son, Fatayi, went to a youth basketball game at the West 33 Street JaxPAL gym on Aug. 4. After the game, Borisade was chatting with friends when she was approached by a little girl.

This 6-year-old came up to me and said, Your son is being handcuffed for dribbling a basketball, Borisade said. I was confused and went to find my son.

When she found him, Borisade said, he was standing next to a police car, surrounded by four deputies from the Jacksonville Sheriffs Office. My sons hands were handcuffed behind his back and he was in tears.

Borisade said when she asked the officer who had taken her son into custody why he was in handcuffs, she was told, He was being disrespectful. She said the officer wouldnt explain what her son did.

I said, Are you serious? and he said there is a sign posted on the property that states children and adults must remain together at all times.
