The little girl sure knew what police were.
They did contact her and told her that if someone wasn't done they were going to have to call the police in. She 'informed' them that she couldn't be there until 3:15.
Also...the one police officer stated that she knew who he was...maybe this isn't the first time little Jakesha or whatever.
It was reported on Fox and Friends this morning that the mother had given specific instructions to the school that no one was to put a hand on her daughter for any reason.
When i was a kid and got in trouble at school i got paddled and when i got home my Dad would paddle me again. I had very few temper tantrums.
You got it!!
Who is Dad?
I am torn. Obviously this child needs a good swat. She had absolutely no respect for adult authority. But to handcuff her seems a little severe. In addition to some discipline, she needs a mother who will not make exucuses for her bad behavior. It is a shame that such a cute little girl is out of control already.
I don't know if the child's disturbed or not. But it's clear she suffers from a lack of a father.
If I worked for that school district, I'd hire a private detective to film the mother. She's probably all kinds of an abusive/neglectful parent. Then the school district can threaten to call DHS unless she drops her lawsuit.
Had she been properly swatted, this may have been the only time she experienced "personal freedom" in school.
You said: With a name like "Ja'eisha" the kid never stood a chance.
You are exactly right, but expect to be called a racist for saying it. The names given to some of these children doom them to a life in poverty and, well, just ugliness. There are stories galore about some of the names given to these innocent children, so I won't go into that, but names like these are symptomatic of separation from the mainstream of American culture. That may sound extreme, but I believe it is true. Who, blacks included, would use an accountant by the name of Ja'eisha? What corporation would elevate her to an executive position, regardless of her ability? What could her mother have been thinking? Obviously, she simply was NOT thinking. It might be different if her name meant anything in a language of her "native" Africa, but it does not. Lest anyone label ME racist, this phenomenon has an analog among some whites, with names given like Apple, River, etc. No one outside of show business would take people with such names seriously. Worse, the names encourage a certain separation from the mainstream, which in Ja'eisha's case, appears to have begun to work.
I'll save my opinions of this school "system" and its treatment of discipline problems for another rant. I guess the coffee is kicking in.
I will never understand why there are people in this country who always believe every initial disclaimer made by a government bureaucrat.
In my experience, the organizational spokesperson usually tells the biggest lies possible initially.
Typical liberal media-made story. An out of control kid and a parent who taught her how. Now they'll be cashing in on their "victimhood".
And by 12 years old this little girl will be in the juvenile justice system for violent crimes.
When all else fails, send in the clowns........
Time to videotape for 28 minutes, but no one would give the kid a swat on the butt and forcefully tell her to sit down and shut up. What a world of wonders.
No wonder some kids are so screwed up.
The school had specific instructions from the "parent" not to touch her child!
....pregnant, STD ridden, raising one child from her 11th year, living with grandma and finding which apartment building has the best rap and drug dealers.
Why? The mother abdicated her responsibilities. Then she told the school they were not to touch her child. Well, if her child is going to act out, the system kicks in. Guess what, you get out of control, and you've been left to the system, the cuffs go on. I am very sorry for this little girl, but not because she's been put in handcuffs. I'm sorry for her because she's got a irresponsible idiot for a mother.
Well, that worked, didn't it? Most people who do not spank do not need to tell me. It is plenty obvious.
Why on earth would her lawyer release the video without her permission? Insane. Hope he has good malpractice insurance.
