6 year old girl distressed any crying "help me". She is heard saying don't put me in handcuffs, I don't want to go in the police car.

I cried proper tears listening to the audio on this video.

I cuddled my little girl extra tight tonight. How can something so hideous happen?

Why is no-one in the school protecting her?
Are there no child protection regulations in USA?

I feel that this is child abuse.

She kicked a teacher, he zip tied her hands together and put her in a car she had mug shots and fingerprints taken at age 6

Another 6 year old was taken to a mental health facility for a 48 hour lockdown the mom wasnt allowed to get her out this was for tantruming in school even the police in this case said she did nothing wrong but a different department committed her at age 6 and sedated her for tantruming

Urrrgh. America

Skierrdery · 26/02/2020 21:35

They'd bring back floggings and stoning if they could in america. They're mad. Pure religious mad bastards.

I find English schools to be a little bit heavy handed too though. A day staring at a wall for wearing the wrong uniform/hair/not having homework? Dd has never been in detention, but max she would get would be 30 mins supervised where she'd be supposed to study.

DS has never been made to stare at a wall! He’s had to stay behind and do homework and once write an apology to the head.

SarahTancredi · 26/02/2020 21:41

I saw this on Twitter.

Haven't they got a nurture room or a resident PAT dog or something

Yes no surprise either that the poor mite was black. What happened to calling the parents Hmm

I think it was only the officer who filmed it that was fired. Not both.

Zip ties ffs. That's surely not protocol for teachers when they have to restrain a kid.

Skierrdery · 26/02/2020 21:44

Several cases of English kids being put in all day detention.

CorianderLord · 26/02/2020 21:51

Surely 6 is below the age of criminal responsibility so they should call her parents instead?

DioneTheDiabolist · 26/02/2020 21:58

What the actual fuck?Shock
What was the teacher thinking?
What was the cop thinking?

Disgusting child abuse.

Phoenix76 · 26/02/2020 22:06

Fucking outrageous. That’s all I can say 😡

DioneTheDiabolist · 26/02/2020 22:13

The arresting officer is a known child abuser. Why they put him at a school is beyond me.

puds11 · 26/02/2020 22:15

@Skierrdery what school are you talking about?? I’ve never heard of a days detention.

Paddingtonthebear · 26/02/2020 22:18

Class Detention for older kids is completely different to cable tying a 6yr olds hands together and dragging her to the police station Confused

There's a huge difference between being a little bit heavy handed and arresting and cable tying a six year old. The people who called the police,the teachers who stood by and watched and the police responsible should be sacked and not allowed back in their 'profession'

Sagradafamiliar · 26/02/2020 23:15

Fucking hell

YappityYapYap · 26/02/2020 23:18

I knew before I even watched it that the child would be black.

They've obviously ran out of black adults to harrass and arrest so they're starting on the children now.

I watched a Louise Theroux documentary recently and the harassment of black people by the police is awful. 3 totally law abiding black students were made to pull over and get out of their car and sit on the kerb while the police searched their car to find nothing but take away wrappers and cd's! They were black though so must have had a gun according to the police. No, they were 3 kids goofing around getting a McDonalds on their way home from being at the library!

*Louis!

Thegreymethod · 26/02/2020 23:19

@lordfrontpaw I saw that one and assumed it was the same case but the police officer in the other one was so lovely to the little girl and saying it wasn't right.
I can't bring myself to watch this video it makes me so sad and angry.

AlpineSnow · 27/02/2020 09:02

Skierrdery what school are you talking about?? I’ve never heard of a days detention
Skierrdery is talking about isolation, which is used in most comps

AlpineSnow · 27/02/2020 09:05

Most comps, so therefore most secondary schools in England (don't know about the rest of the UK

shakerkitchen · 27/02/2020 09:07

That video made me so sad. I could only imagine my 6yo and the absolute terror and fear that was obviously going through that dc and how the message that it sent out was it doesn't matter how you cry nobody is there for you.
Awful. And if the dc did anything wrong I believe at 6 reprimand like that isn't going to improve anything at all.

KatherineJaneway · 04/03/2020 12:58

How can something so hideous happen?

The assistant principal wanted her arrested apparently. The girl was playing up in class, was removed to her office then kicked and repeatedly slapped the assistant principal so she called the Police.

HeechulMyOppa · 04/03/2020 21:18

What the fuck is up with America!

ThrowingGoodAfterBad · 28/04/2020 13:33

There's a difference between being put in a school detention and being arrested in handcuffs for cryin' out loud! I sometimes work with SEN kids who lash out. We do not arrest them here, and no zip ties are not used. There are restraint procedures at need, use of which has to be documented. There was talk of them arming teachers in that country too. "Land of the free".
