Watch how Tampa police officers forcibly separate children from their mother (video)
A video making rounds online show the moment Tampa police separate a mentally distressed woman from her screaming children.
Newsmen learnt that Tampa police got a call of a woman ‘under severe mental distress‘ and when the police arrived in the downtown area, they saw the woman walking along the road with her five barefoot kids.
The children were ripped off from their mother by the Tampa cops while reacting to the issue.
According to the report, the members of the family did not approve of being separated and they cried out and tried to hold onto each other as the police forcibly separated the kids from their mother.
In the video, one of the cops can be seen holding the woman against a fence while one of her daughters stands by her side.
Another cop then holds the other girl with one hand as he restrains three of her brothers who are trying to free their sister from the officer.
The woman was eventually taken to a hospital for a psychological evaluation by the police alongside the children who wanted to be with their mum.
However, the way police officers handled the situation has raised lots of questions.
