An Oklahoma teen’s parents are accusing police in Houston of racial profiling after the girl and her companions for a dance event were stopped by authorities and she was taken to child protective services.

According to KHOU-TV, the incident happened Sunday when 13-year-old Landry Thompson from Tulsa, Okla., was in Houston to film a hip-hop dance video. Thomson was accompanied by her dance instructor, 29-year-old Emmanuel Hurd, and her dance partner, 22-year-old Josiah Kelly. Thompson is white and the two men are black.

Its the parents who should be arrested. Allowing a 13 year old girl to travel with two grown men not relatives, out at 3am "looking for a hotel," and letting her be engrossed in the hip hop culture is enough for me to slap them in tight handcuffs.

Landry Thompson, 13, Taken Into Custody After Dozing Off In Dance Instructor’s Car

http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1492141/thumbs/n-LANDRY-THOMPSON-large.jpg?6

Landry Thompson, 13, was visiting Houston with her dance instructor, Emmanuel Hurd, to take a series of dance classes from top industry professionals.

On the way back to their hotel with Thompson and another dancer, Hurd, who also goes by the name Emmanuel Cross, stopped at a gas station to get his bearings.

“We were on the GPS trying to figure out where the hotel was and we sat there and we dozed off,” Hurd said, according to NewsOn6.com.

Then, the police showed up and surrounded Hurd’s car.

“They just pulled us out of the car. Put our hands behind our backs like we were criminals,” Hurd said. “He asked me who’s the girl. She’s my student. I said I had a notarized letter from her parents stating that we have full guardianship over her while we’re here.”

Thompson and Hurd kept trying to tell their story, but said the officers weren’t listening. Nor did they pay attention to the note. Instead, they put cuffs on Thompson and took her to Child Protective Services, and contacted her mother, Destiny Thompson, back in Tulsa.

“I was horrified,” Destiny Thompson told KHOU-TV. “She was with the people I wanted her to be with. She was with people I trusted. And now she was taken away from those people and in a shelter with people I didn’t know.”

At first, Thompson was told she’d have to come to Houston to get her daughter. After 11 hours, and repeated conversations with Houston officials, the teenager was finally freed into Hurd’s custody.

I agree that that is really bad.

Destiny Thompson, Hurd and Kelly don’t fault the officers for initially asking questions about the situation, but consider it racial profiling that the teenager was not released when the appropriate documents were produced and confirmation was given by her mother.

I have to agree. As poor as their judgement may seem, if the parents confirmed, they should have been allowed to go.

Me too. The “instructors” probably had records as pimps or something.

The money quote.

“We were on the GPS trying to figure out where the hotel was and we sat there and we dozed off,” Hurd said, according to NewsOn6.com.

““I was horrified,” Destiny Thompson told KHOU-TV. “

The mother’s name is Destiny which leads me to believe that dancing is a family tradition.

Question: What kind of mother allows her 13 year old daughter to share a hotel room with grown men? Answer: A negligent or indifferent mother.

The police should investigate further. Many exploited young girls in prostitution are exploited because the mother or parents are in on it and collect some of the money. Not buying the story.

I think this may be a SET UP !!!

Since when do you get the full name of a “Minor” in these stories ?

If I were a police, I would find it equally suspicious if a 13 year old black girl was out at 3 am looking for a hotel room with two 29 year old white men.

So, what if it were two white men with a 13 year old black girl, or latina, or asian girl? For those Freepers not familiar with Houston TX, we have had our share of sex traffic. If I were one of these cops, my “What’s wrong with this picture” alarm would have been ringing like the bells of Notre Dame. And if they din’t follow up and check out the story what would people say when the letter from mom turned out to be a fake? I don’t even want to get into the what the hell was mom thinking discussion.

After watching the news clip of her parental units, I am thinking that they are just dumb and naive. There is no way I would let any of my daughters go unaccompanied with two older men. Just call me old fashioned or something.
