NEW: Florida police release a statement after a family claims that police were called on their 3-year-old son because he was "too good" at soccer.
Video footage shows a 3-year-old soccer prodigy dominating a group of 5-year-olds in Winter Park, Florida.
"They called the police on a three-year-old because he's too good... because he had the ball for too long and nobody else can get the ball so they called the police on him," the family claimed in the video.
The Winter Park Police Department has since released a statement saying they were called about a "disturbance" between league officials and the player's parents.
"The Winter Park Police Department was contacted by a soccer league official who requested response to a disturbance between league officials and the parents of a player," they said.
"The league requested the family leave and offered to refund the league cost to family. Shortly after arrival, the officers were requested by the league official to communicate with the family as he did not want to further a disturbance."
"The family stated the game was over and they were leaving. The family was cooperative with the officers and were provided with an event number for the incident at their request."
"The incident was a civil matter between those parties and not criminal. No one was arrested, trespassed, or forced to leave the park. The Officers body worn cameras confirm the above information."
Before European colonization, the tallest structures in sub-Saharan Africa were termite mounds, reaching heights of up to 40 feet / 12 meters.
Think about that.

They'd just moved from Delaware for her new job. Now they're SUING Douglas Elliman, the agent AND the owners.
"It doesn't change the pain. It doesn't take away the pain you caused us that day."
Think about it. They were judged before they even had a chance.
They only found out because she texted the wrong person. Most people never do.
Normalize teaching your children about the twin evils of slavery and colonization.
Teach them who enslaved our ancestors, who colonized our lands, who stole our resources, and how their wealth was built on our suffering.
Black children must know their history โ a history written in sweat, tears and blood.
Never let them forget it.
