Episode Details

Three Parma officers face civil rights and criminal charges after allegedly slamming a 13-year-old boy’s face into a brick wall during an August 2025 arrest — a move the police union calls routine and justified, while the boy’s family says it left him with scars and PTSD. Body cam footage shows the teen being lifted by his feet, handcuffed, and dragged — sparking outrage as his mother files citizen-initiated criminal charges and accuses the city of inaction. The union insists expert review confirms the officers acted appropriately, but the family’s attorney says the video proves otherwise. The PD remains silent amid an active investigation, though the boy’s original charges were dismissed and records sealed.
