"Then the parents need to homeschool. People sometimes forget that special is tacked on to everything from stuttering to vegetative states. Not enough information has been given to make a judgment."

The age of the child (6) and the alleged "crime" (kicking a teacher's aid in the shin), are all I need to know. An arrest of a six year old would never, ever have happened in any other time in U.S. history, except in these twisted times we live in. The police dispatcher would laugh and tell the teacher to smack the child back. This insignificant situation with a special needs little girl who has barely graduated from potty training should never have been a police matter.

Absolutely. A kick in the shin, while inappropriate is NOT a felony. This could have been dealt with without dialing 911.
