A family says police escorted them and their 3-year-old son off an i9 Sports youth soccer field in Winter Park after the league issued a trespass, following complaints from opposing parents that the boy held the ball too much and was “trying to put on a show.” The incident, captured in video the family posted
Source? All the article says is “i9 Sports, which operates youth leagues, camps, and clinics for children ages 3 and up in sports including soccer, has not issued a public statement on the incident. Local police have also not released information confirming details of any call or escort.”
Too many people in this thread letting their emotions control their opinion due to a scary headline about a subject they apparently know very little about.
What you’re describing is not just some more reasonable interpretation of the info in the article. You’re describing facts other people have no way of knowing. It’s not “letting emotions control their opinion”. It’s simply having opinion about facts at hand.
The family states that the league banned them from the field via a trespass notice and that officers then escorted them away in front of the other children. They say they later received a refund for the 2026 fall soccer league registration.
The same article, but what I’m having trouble finding is whether they had been banned before this game or as a result of this game.
you know what, I had assumed that naturally the ban had already occurred and that this was not the initial trespass notice that the cops responded to
if they called the cops and issued the trespass at the same time, that’s weird. if they issued the trespass and then they refused to leave, well yeah duh call the cops that’s what they’re for
Can’t speak for your jurisdiction, but around here, and most of America I think, if a private business tells you to leave and you don’t, that’s trespass. In Florida it’s trespass if you ignore certain property signage. The police don’t “issue” a trespass, it’s automatic.
so if everybody called the cops at the same time as initially trespassing somebody, that’d be weird. like, you tell them to leave, they don’t, then you call the cops
Maybe you can stop repeating this now that the PD is contradicting your claims?
The family told officers the game was over and they were leaving. Police described the family as cooperative and said officers provided an event number at the family’s request.
The department characterized the incident as a civil matter, not a criminal one.
“No one was arrested, trespassed, or forced to leave the park,” the department said.

Exactly, this says they were kicked out, not that they still came back later. Those are two completely different situations.

right

Obviously they did not leave, so asking this is moot to begin with, you know, since they did not leave.
no, we don’t know that
the question here is if the cops shows up to issue the trespass, or if it was done prior to the cops showing up
How do cops “issue” trespass? They can’t do that, they only enforce it.
