NgoMashi 1, 2017, ibhodi leChicago Park District lacabangela isivumelwano esingu-$100,000 somntwana oneminyaka emi-3 ubudala owalimala enkundleni yokudlala. NgoLwesithathu, mhla ziyi-4 kuMandulo 2014, intombazane yawela esigxotsheni sensimbi ngesikhathi idlala endaweni. Ngokombiko wePark District ngalesi sigameko, isigxobo sensimbi sashaya ebunzini layo sabangela ukuqhekeka okukhulu esweni layo lokunene. Intombazane, uB'Nai Brown, yayiswa ekuqaleni kwalolo suku endaweni yokudlala eyayiseduze nekhaya layo. Ngokusho kommeli wabo, uTimothy Keiser, ngesikhathi besenkundleni yokudlala, “ugogo wezwa ukukhala wabheka phezulu wathola ukuthi intombazane isinqumle ikhanda.” Ummeli kaBrown waqhubeka nokuchaza ukuthi intombazane yathungwa kahlanu futhi ingase idinge ukuhlinzwa kobuhle esikhathini esizayo. “Mhlawumbe yilesi simo esihle kakhulu,” esho. “Akukubi kangako njengoba bekungaba njalo.” Njengoba ukulimala kungaphakathi kwe-intshi yeso layo, bekungaba kubi kakhulu.
I-Park District ngaphambilini yayishintsha imishini yokudlala endala ngemishini emisha. Kodwa-ke, yehlulekile “ukususa isigxobo sensimbi esasivele cishe ngamasentimitha angu-14 ukusuka phansi esinomphetho ogobile.” I-spike yensimbi yayisendaweni enabantu abaningi kakhulu epaki futhi yashiywa ngemuva kokususwa kwemishini yokudlala endala. Ummeli kaBrown uthe i-Park District yaziswa zingakapheli inyanga uB'Nai elimele, kodwa induku yensimbi yahlala emhlabathini kuze kube sekuqaleni kuka-2015.
Umndeni kaB'Nai awuzange ufake icala. Isivumelwano "sanconywa ngummeli jikelele wenhlangano." Ngokusho kommeli kaBrown, noma iyiphi imali abazoyinikwa izofakwa "kwi-akhawunti yengane evikelwe lapho kudingeka khona imvume yokufinyelela imali yokukhokhela izindleko zezokwelapha kuze kube yilapho intombazane ifinyelela eminyakeni engu-18."
