Bodycam video contradicts Florida parents' claim 3-year-old was removed for being too good

Police bodycam footage from a Florida youth soccer game shows why officers were called, and Fox News says it contradicts the family's claim that their 3-year-old was removed for being too good.

Posted Updated (6 d ago)

Winter Park police bodycam footage contradicts the claim by the parents of a 3-year-old soccer player that he was removed for being too good, according to Fox News. Fox says the footage shows why officers were actually called to the youth game. It also says the family has promoted that claim in a GoFundMe appeal.

CBS News reports the newly released footage shows two parents and their son, Nevada, being asked to leave the tournament after league officials called police. The Guardian earlier reported that no one was arrested or made to leave. The reports do not explain the difference.

The Guardian says the parents can be heard on the footage saying Nevada was taken out because he was too good and was embarrassing other children. His mother told CBS the league was pushing him out because he is good at soccer.

A league director told CBS the parents were being disruptive. ABC News reports an organizer called police to remove them for that reason. The Guardian says the organizer claims Nevada pushed other children and that his parents became argumentative when he was taken out of the game.

Video of the police response has spread widely. CBS says it has drawn outrage.
