[blparent] Happy Thanksgiving, eh?

[Veronica Smith]

Yup, no law breaking here.  We tease her, if she didn't have bad luck, she'd 
have no luck at all.  It was very scary for her and her children watching 
mom being taken away in a police car.  I call it harassment. I wrote a 
letter to the city and complained about those kind of officers.  Instead of 
going after the crooks, they harrass young families minding their own 
business. V

>> Well right about then her kids came out of the house crying because mom

>> inside.  Then without asking any more questions, the police officer hand
>> cuffed my friend and put her in the police car.  She was stunned and so
>> was her family.  She said she started to cry and her husband tried to 
>> tell
>> the officer that nothing was going on except her venting about someone 
>> who
>> didn't pay her for babysitting.  they took her to the police station and
>> then made her take anger management classes for 3 weeks.  She says never
>> again will she yell to let out her frustrations. Aaah! V
