4 year old arrested, handcuffed and taken to sheriff's office

[O.Z.]

America is a fucked up country, period.



'Officials at a Virginia school turned an allegedly misbehaving 4-year-old preschooler over to law enforcement, where he was put in handcuffs and shackles and ordered to talk to jail inmates, according to a legal group intervening in the case. The unnamed student, who was enrolled in the pre-kindergarten program at Nathanael Greene Primary School, in Stanardsville, Virginia, was removed from the classroom Oct. 16 after allegedly “becoming agitated and throwing several items onto the floor.”

“The officer escalated the situation by treating the 4-year-old as if he were being arrested: handcuffing [the student] and transporting him in a police car to a Greene County sheriff’s office,” the letter said. There, the officer “forced [the 4-year-old] to speak with persons who had been arrested in an apparent attempt to ‘scare straight’ the preschooler,”

“No child, particularly children of tender years who are as emotionally fragile as [the student] should have to endure the shock and fright that accompanies handcuffing and shackling,” the letter said. “These extreme forms of restraint are meant to be used only in those instances where law enforcement officers would be endangered by their proximity to unencumbered persons who pose a risk of violence.”

They should habe done that to the parents for not raising up the kid right....no 4 year old will learn from this other then to be afraid of cops. A 10 year old can grasp this but not a 4

In many schools in the past, there was corporal punishment.
I think many of us as 4 yr olds would pick being handcuffed and shackled to being paddled.

I got paddled all the time in school,and look how I turned out.

NEVERMIND

I can see how this COULD be necessary.  Kids do have moments when they'll kick, punch, spit, bite - themselves or others.  A straight jacket would have been better, but do they make them so small?

Anyone who has seen a strong 4 year old completely melt down violently can tell you - they're tall/strong enough to break their own bones easily, and have zero idea of the consequences.  If junior is throwing himself off the couch or punching glass windows, parents might have to literally hold them down and calm them.   If it's a cop doing it, he could get sued for that, since everyone has a phone and everyone has a better idea what should be done.
