Daniel Garza, the attorney for the girl’s mother, sees things a little differently than the police officers who claim they were doing what was necessary to protect the child.

“She expects them to come and de-escalate the situation. She expects them to talk to her and help figure out how to get her daughter under control,” Garza said. “Not drag her into a car and Baker Act her or call EMS to inject her with something. Not that, for sure not that.”
