Mother of Viral 3-Year-Old Soccer Player Claims Son Is ‘Traumatized’ After Police Incident

A few days after a video featuring a 3-year-old soccer player attracted widespread attention, the boy’s mother shared her thoughts on the incident that occurred during his Winter Park game. Martasia Griffin explained how her family has been affected ever since the police were called following claims of a disturbance due to their presence.

According to Griffin, she and Nevada’s father had positioned themselves away from other parents and simply approached to ask about their son’s playing time. The unexpected arrival of police has left Nevada feeling anxious about the sport he enjoys, with Griffin stating that it has ‘traumatized him.’ Despite facing criticism, Griffin emphasized that their intention is not for financial gain but to ensure her son can continue to pursue his soccer dreams, with support already coming in from former World Cup player Eddie Johnson.
