La polizia interviene alla partita di un bambino: ha 3 anni e segna gol a raffica. “Cacciato perché troppo bravo”

27 October 2026 at 16:48

La polizia è intervenuta durante una partita di calcio giovanile vicino a Orlando, in Florida, dopo una segnalazione legata al comportamento dei genitori di un bambino di 3 anni. Ma la vicenda ha fatto rapidamente il giro del web per un altro motivo: secondo la famiglia, il piccolo Nevada sarebbe stato preso di mira perché troppo bravo a giocare a calcio. La storia ha scatenato un acceso dibattito sui social, tra chi difende il bambino e chi ritiene che i genitori debbano rispettare le regole e i limiti imposti nelle competizioni giovanili.

Nevada, appena tre anni, è protagonista di diversi video diventati virali in cui segna numerosi gol e si distingue dagli altri bambini in campo, alcuni dei quali hanno uno o due anni più di lui. Anche Thomas Hayes, uno dei responsabili della lega giovanile in cui il piccolo giocava, ha riconosciuto le sue capacità. “Il bambino è bravissimo. È fantastico, davvero bravo“, ha detto Hayes agli agenti intervenuti sul posto, come si sente nel filmato registrato dalla telecamera indossata da uno dei poliziotti.

Il responsabile ha però spiegato che il problema non riguardava soltanto le prestazioni del piccolo. Secondo la sua versione, Nevada tendeva anche a spingere gli altri bambini durante il gioco. “È molto più avanti rispetto agli altri. Segna tanti gol, ma spinge anche gli altri ragazzi“, ha raccontato agli agenti. Hayes ha aggiunto di aver già invitato i bambini a evitare comportamenti scorretti in campo e ha riferito che, alcune settimane prima, si era verificato un altro episodio di tensione con i genitori di Nevada. In quell’occasione, il responsabile aveva sostituito alcuni giocatori, compreso il bambino, suscitando il malcontento della famiglia.

“A loro non piace”, ha spiegato alla polizia, sostenendo che i genitori avessero reagito alla sua richiesta di impedire al figlio di spingere gli avversari e avessero finito per litigare con altre famiglie presenti. La madre del piccolo, tuttavia, ha fornito una versione molto diversa dei fatti. Nel video registrato dalla telecamera dell’agente, la donna sostiene che la famiglia cerchi sempre di tenersi a distanza dagli altri genitori, posizionandosi sul lato opposto del campo proprio per evitare discussioni. “Lo stanno letteralmente cacciando da questo posto perché è bravo a calcio“, ha dichiarato agli agenti.

Anche il padre di Nevada, in un filmato registrato dalla famiglia, ha contestato l’intervento delle forze dell’ordine: “Hanno chiamato la polizia per un bambino di tre anni perché è troppo bravo”. La madre ha raccontato alla CBS News che, prima della partita, l’allenatore aveva detto al bambino che avrebbe potuto continuare a giocare a condizione di passare la palla ai compagni. La situazione, però, sarebbe degenerata a metà dell’incontro, quando sono arrivati gli agenti. La donna ha inoltre affermato di aver visto alcuni genitori riunirsi in cerchio e parlare del figlio durante la partita.

In un’intervista con la giornalista Lauren Lorosa, la madre ha espresso tutta la sua frustrazione: “Mio figlio è già vestito. Non posso spiegare al mio bambino di tre anni che oggi non può giocare perché è troppo bravo“. Dal canto suo, Hayes ha dichiarato di voler chiedere alla famiglia di lasciare la lega, dicendosi anche disponibile a restituire il denaro pagato per l’iscrizione. La vicenda ha provocato una forte reazione sui social, dove Nevada e la sua famiglia hanno ricevuto numerosi messaggi di sostegno. Tra questi anche quello di Rachel Accurso, conosciuta online come Ms. Rachel, popolare star di YouTube, che ha commentato un post sull’accaduto dicendo che le piacerebbe ospitare il bambino nel suo programma. Non sono mancate, però, le critiche. Un allenatore, commentando il caso, ha scritto che i genitori del piccolo “dovrebbero vergognarsi”.

Nel frattempo, la lega i9 Sports ha pubblicato un comunicato su Facebook per fare chiarezza sulla propria posizione. “Siamo a conoscenza delle preoccupazioni espresse in merito a un episodio avvenuto durante un match locale di i9 Sports e le prendiamo molto sul serio”, si legge nella nota. L’organizzazione ha poi ribadito che “il rispetto e il benessere di ogni bambino e di ogni famiglia sono di fondamentale importanza”, aggiungendo di essere al lavoro per ricostruire quanto accaduto.

A report by the news website Metrópoles, citing people close to the politician’s family, said he was en route to the US. “The plane is in flight,” Metrópoles reported, without making clear where it had departed from.

I quit my job and moved to Florida at 44 to become a Walt Disney World bus driver. It's not prestigious, but I'm finally happy.

  • Michael Bowen started his career in church work, which he found unfulfilling and lacking stability.
  • Driven by a love for Disney and a desire for change, he decided to make the move to Florida at 44.
  • After a hiatus due to personal reasons, he returned to his job as a Disney bus driver this year.

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Michael Bowen, a 51-year-old Walt Disney World bus driver and Disney content creator behind the YouTube channel "Incognito Mouse." It has been edited for length and clarity.

Most of my adult life, I worked in the church. I went to university and Bible school to become a minister. I went into this line of work thinking it would make someone else happy, and didn't really think about what would make me happy.

At one point, I ended up working at a smaller church that could not pay a full-time salary, so to support myself, I got a part-time job as a school bus driver.

In 2017, I took a vacation to Florida and visited Disney World. I remember sitting there on the last day of my vacation, in the beautiful, warm sun, by the pool, with palm trees beside me, and dreading going back to the stormy weather in New Jersey.

I felt I had to make some kind of change, or I was going to sentence myself to a miserable life.

I realized I could work as a bus driver for Disney

I first visited Disney World in 2013. I had thought it was strange — a bunch of adults, no kids, going to Disney. Yet, even on that first trip, I thought, man, what could I do to work here? There's no Disney church.

By the second time I went in 2017, I had followed Disney a lot more and saw it wasn't just for children. Now, as a school bus driver, I thought, "Oh, they do have bus drivers, and that is a legitimate career. I could actually do that."

I love Disney, and my ex-wife did, too. As huge Disney fans, we thought, why not go live in the most magical place on Earth and work there?

In 2020, at 44, I first moved to Florida

I was living out of state when I applied to be a bus driver at Disney. It's very difficult to get into it. It took several months to get to the interview, and I needed a Florida driver's license before I could get the offer.

I moved to Florida in January of 2020. After I got my license, I was put on a waiting list until a bus driver position became available. It wasn't until February 15 that I finally got the call to start the role.

For the first time in my life, I had a really stable job with all the benefits that some smaller churches aren't necessarily able to give: paid time off, pensions, retirement, things like that.

In particular, I had health insurance for the first time in a long time, and I was really happy.

I was convinced I was going to drive for Disney for the rest of my life and retire there. But in May 2022, I chose to leave after experiencing a difficult separation and divorce. I remember when I was leaving, I got the offboarding email, and it was the most gut-wrenching feeling that I had ever had.

I moved to Oregon, but I always wanted to move back

I decided to move to Oregon. I drove a city bus and things like that, but I wasn't happy.

During that time, I met another woman, now my wife, who was a big Disney fan like me. I rebranded my YouTube channel from church content to Disney around 2019, and started posting about being a Disney cast member in 2020. We met through the YouTube channel and decided to move to Florida together in 2025.

As before, I had to wait almost a year for a job opening at Disney. In the meantime, I worked for a different company contracted to drive the buses for Universal Studios.

Finally, in April 2026, at 50, I returned to Disney as a bus driver.

It's not seen as the most prestigious job, but I love it

For me, being a Disney bus driver is wonderful, but I feel like it's not the most prestigious job. Often, when people ride the bus, it's seen as just a way to get to the park.

However, it has its special moments. Once, there was a little boy visiting with his parents who, as he was getting on the bus, showed me two little toy buses. His mother told me he loved the buses so much and was so excited to show them to me. Little things like this just make my day, seeing people so excited.

I can enjoy all the magic of Disney and go to the park whenever I want. So it's the best of both worlds.

Walt Disney said, "It's kind of fun to do the impossible." If you'd have told me that I was going to do something like this several years ago, I would have said, " There's no way — it's not possible. I'm too old. I don't have the finances. I don't know what I would do."

But life is too short. If you are not happy or you want to do something else, you have to make it happen.

‘Constant surveillance is pushing us toward an authoritarian state’: voters demand regulation of Flock cameras

27 October 2026 at 10:45

At first Matías Núñez began encountering online reports and citizen complaints about the proliferation of Flock cameras, the private automatic license plate reader service that has been contracted by police departments, universities, neighborhood associations and businesses across the United States. And then one day he found two of those devices in his own neighborhood in the coastal city of Hollywood, Florida: “I realized that every time I pass by, they record my location, and that they’re cropping up everywhere in my area. Once you see them, you start noticing them everywhere.”
