Child in Mississippi receives probation for public urination

A child in Senatobia, Mississippi, who was arrested for public urination, has been placed on three months of probation and ordered to write a two-page paper on Kobe Bryant. The arrest, which occurred on August 10, caused controversy within the police department, resulting in an officer losing his job. The child's mother argues that the officer initially intended to let him go with a warning. Critics argue that the incident was blown out of proportion and that there are more important issues to focus on. The child was charged with child in need of services but was released to his mother.
