Summary

A mother and her 3-year-old daughter were confronted by security guards and then the police at a water park in Detroit because the daughter was playing topless in the pool, sparking a debate on cultural differences and child sexualization. Despite the disagreement with the security guards, the police officer later assessed the situation and found that the mother was not doing anything wrong, prompting an apology from the park manager.
