Police tell children to interpret for mom

A Las Vegas deaf woman was handcuffed in front of her children and her daughters were asked to interpret for the police.

Deaf rights lawyer Andrew Rozynski told Fox-5 in Las Vegas:

“Requiring an 11-year-old to interpret in a police situation is against the Americans with Disabilities Act. There are regulations in there that expressly prohibit children from being used as interpreters.”
