An African American Woman, Laura Browder was arrested at the Memorial City Mall in Houston, Texas, for leaving her children unattended during an interview. She stated that they weren't far away from her and she had her eyes on them the whole time, yet officers say the two children were crying when they found them at a table in the food court. Browder was arrested seconds after getting her new job. She was accused of abandoning a child with intent to return. She admitted it wasn't the smartest decision and would never have meant to harm her children in any way.
I believe that leaving her children unattended was not the best choice, but she said she had her eye on them the whole time. The police should be worrying about worse things that could be happening at the mall, not little things like this. Also, this woman for sure shouldn't have been arrested, if anything just a warning. Being arrested was completely unnecessary for the problem that occurred. If this has anything to do with being racist that is just awful. I had seen this on twitter prior to reading this article and it really drew my attention. I hope in the future officers can decide reasons to arrest and reasons not to.
