Mom arrested for letting kids play outdoors

Police arrested a Texas mom for allowing her children to play outside last week, after a neighbor reported to police that the kids were riding scooters around a cul de sac.

Tammy Cooper, who was arrested for child endangerment, insists she was watching her children from a lawn chair in her front yard.  Now, Cooper is suing the La Porte Police Department, the arresting officer and the neighbor who made the call.  A few hours after the neighbor called police, a La Porte policeman showed up to the scene of the “crime” to arrest Cooper.

Cooper spent a night in jail before she was released. Charges were dropped but now Cooper is suing for damages, $7,000 in legal fees.
