A 3½-year-old child having difficulty getting potty trained was brought to the Daytona Beach Shores Public Safety Department on successive days last October and placed in jail, a high-ranking officer told a caseworker during an interview.

On the second occasion, Oct. 6, 2022, the child was also handcuffed.

“He was crying. I was getting the response I expected from him,” Lt. Michael Schoenbrod told the Department of Children and Families caseworker, body-cam footage from a Volusia County Sheriff’s Office deputy shows.

The boy promised to never again poop his pants, Schoenbrod said in the interview.

It is unclear whether Schoenbrod and another high-ranking Daytona Beach Shores officer, Det. Sgt. Jessica Long, who brought their child to the jail on Oct. 5, faced discipline from the city. The News-Journal has obtained copies of memos written by Public Safety Director Michael Fowler to each informing them of a professional standards investigation.

    Considering the crybabies cops turn into any time someone even mentions the phrase “civilian oversight”, we may have some other candidates for those cells.

    “He was crying. I was getting the response I expected from him”.

    Wait are you telling me that the pigs were the parents? And they handcuffed/jailed their toddler for shitting his pants? Poor kid, but funniest shit I’ve ever heard.
