An 11-year-old girl was handcuffed and taken into police custody after authorities traced a prank phone call to 911 back to her phone. Aaliyah Zarate, 11, was arrested by an officer who came to Crosby Middle School in Texas to take her in after a false fire alarm call was made through her phone. Ms Zarate’s parents have questioned why their 11-year-old daughter was treated so harshly. The sixth-grader claims that it was her friend who took her phone and made the call without her knowing, but was still taken into custody. While her parents felt that their daughter was treated harshly, Captain Kirk Bonsal with the Harris County Precinct 3 Constable’s Office said that because Ms Zarate is older than 10, the deputy constable was following policy, which meant she had to be arrested and handcuffed. The District Attorney’s office is now looking into the incident, and it is still unclear if any formal criminal charges will be given to the perpetrator of the phone call, according to the outlet. Surveillance footage will be assessed, and witnesses to the call will be questioned as the investigation continues.
