Dallas school police use handcuffs to restrain 7-year-old boy - CNN.com


Damn.. A week in a mental institute... at 7 years old.. against his mothers will.
 
Jesus Christ, man. When I was in elementary school, I liked to bang my head against my desk on occasion to screw with the teacher and get myself some attention. I can't even imagine what kinds of bugs I'd have in my head if I'd been handcuffed, choked out, and thrown into a mental institution for a week. I can tell you I wouldn't be on here, for one thing (either banned ages ago or not interested in politics in the first place).
 
The handcuffs are by far the least egregious part of that story. I can understand using handcuffs on a child who is trying to hurt the self. It isn't ideal but I get it. But tased??? Not allowing the mother to see her child??? That is f-ed up.
 

...I'm not sure I see the connection to Trump, but I certainly agree that this was horrible.

Those people aren't a new phenomena that only popped into existence on January 20th, FaL. Your implication that several different people colluded in this "because Trump" seems... highly unlikely.
 
I would pull my kid out of that school, and seek to press charges against the officer and principle. And I would sue the mental health facility for denying me access to my child.

And if the principle and cop weren't held accountable, I would likely wait a few months and find them accountable in other ways. Principle needs that elbow broken, and that cop needs tazed a few times.

It's you drawing inferences and extending it to whatever.

I thought it was a funny tag, no more.
 
Well, either 1, the school and police are way out of their minds or;

2, the kid is utterly insane and will need strong intervention for his whole life. Biology makes mystakes.

or

3, This is the hardest 7 year old kid in the world and in 10 years time he will be world heavy weight boxing champion whilst still holding all the other titles as he is still light, just ultra aggressive!

Even then the taser thing is beyond lunacy!!

This is one in spate of recent cases like this. Who handles a child like this, especially when their diagnoses are documented?

Yosio is a special needs student who suffers from attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and another mood disorder. He has experienced similar outbursts in the past but has always had a trained school aide nearby to help calm him down.

Where was that aide? What the heck is wrong with someone who thinks it ok to choke out a 7-year-old? If the story is true as reported, these people need to be charged with assaulting that child, the district with negligence and endangerment for not having the aide in the school (surely there had to be an IEP in place necessitating the aide) and whatever can be thrown at that institution for drugging him without his mother's permission and withholding him from his mom. At the least.
 
I have a little skepticism about this story. The whole account is from the parent and her lawyer, and due to privacy laws, the police nor the school system can refute any of it for at least some time. So all you get is one side of the story. If true, it is wrong. However, from what I read, the alleged tasering is based off of marks the lawyer claims the kid had, not anything else. I'm not completely dismissing her story here, just saying that parents have a huge advantage over schools and police in these situations where we can't get the whole story from the other side, whether to dispute what has been put out or confirm it or give reasons for even some of the actions.

Why do I never see this warning for people that advocate violence from the police? "Oh the scumbag reached, cop was right to blow em away." Or "piece of **** scumbag should've been shot." Why is that kosher. Im serious, I have to wade through countless posts of people advocating violence, celebrating violence with glee, and no warnings for them.

Woman puts her elbow on my kid, Im breaking that elbow. Cop tases my seven year old, I'm tasing him back. I'll say it a thousand times. So flipping tired of this double standard, the gun nuts and law enforcement apologists can have thread circle jerks all day long anytime stand your ground comes up, or some cop shoots an unarmed man. But seeking justice for a child? Nope cant cant do that. Thats advocating violence.

Save your warnings, I knew what I was doing when I did it. And I know what I'm doing now.
 

Heh, in my experience, schools are the ones that tend to hide more details about this than anyone else.
