Toddler Nevada, whose mother Martasia says he is now traumatized and unwilling to return to the pitch after police were called over his play.

Nevada's mother, Martasia, says her son is now 'traumatized' and does not want to return to the Winter Park pitch. League director Thomas Hayes rang 911 complaining that a parent was 'really, really disruptive' and calling him names. Winter Park Police called it a civil matter, and no arrests were made. The toddler had been playing against five-year-olds.

Father Don: 'They called the police on a 3-year-old because he's too good.'

Organiser i9 Sports says it has contacted the family and begun a review.

Opposing parents claimed the toddler was 'trying to put on a show'.
