🧵Meet Courtney Price and her 17-month-old son Waylon.
She was taking care of her baby when Ohio's @ElyriaPolice SWAT team showed up at her home, threw a flashbang grenade into the residence, then broke the door in.
It was the wrong home.
After breaking into the home, the officers led Courtney outside in handcuffs while her baby was still inside.
Waylon suffered serious injuries from the flashbang and was diagnosed with chemical pneumonitis, which is inflamation of the lungs.
To make matters worse, Waylon suffers from a condition that requires him to be fed through a feeding tube since he cannot eat with his mouth.
He was born prematurely and has a slew of health issues which were exacerbated by the flashbang grenade.
Police Chief Bill Pelko denied that the officers had the wrong house because they went to the address on the search warrant.
He also claimed that the officer did not throw the flashbang into the home, but threw it outside the home.
Unfortunately for them, video footage from the neighbor's house clearly shows the officer throwing the grenade into the home.
Even further, the person the officers were looking for hadn't lived in that home in over two years.
In fact, officers had shown up at the house on five occasions looking for him and were told that he now lives down the street.
They had no reason to show up at this home.
Waylon had been in ICU, but is now in a regular unit. But there is no telling when Courtney will be able to bring him home.
Now, the family is seeking justice for the child.
Also, the police threw Waylon's medical equipment on the floor while searching the home.
The equipment is supposed to be sanitized, which means the family has to purchase new equipment.
The family has set up a GoFundMe.
