The 8-year-old boy slumps so far into his seat that the police officer’s body-camera footage only captures the top of his head.
“You know where you’re going? You’re going to jail,” the Key West police officer says in the video.
The officer then instructs him to stand up and place his hands on a metal cabinet in the hallway of his elementary school for a pat-down. Quivering with tears, the boy puts his hands behind his back, but his wrists are so slight that the handcuffs keep slipping off.
Abandoning the cuffs, the officer tells the boy to put his hands in front of him as they escort him to the police car parked outside.
Police said the incident began when a teacher noticed the boy was sitting improperly at a lunch table. When the teacher asked him to sit next to her, she said he refused, saying, “Don’t put your hands on me.”
The report said the teacher took the boy on a walk, during which he allegedly cursed at her and punched her. She then took him to the office, where Officer Michael Malgrat, who wrote the report, said the boy “had his hands clenched into fists and he was postured as if he was ready to fight.”
Crump said the boy had emotional and behavioral disabilities that were neglected during the incident. Despite having an individualized educational program, the school placed him with a substitute teacher “who had no awareness or concern about his needs,” Crump said in a news release. Crump alleged the teacher “escalated the situation by using her hands to forcibly move him."

WaPo should frankly be banned from FR, but barring that they have a paywall, so please post alternative sources.
Dang. Do I really have to go the Washington Post website to find out?
From reading this, I get the impression that there is something big that this excerpt or the Washington Post is leaving out.
On the surface, this sounds completely inappropriate and one-sided. If that is all there is, of course someone should be punished.
I just think there is something else that isn’t evident here.
Any idea what that might be?
Agreed, there must be more to this.

Who is “Crump?”
Benjamin Crump.
Black lawyer who has become a go-to lawyer for blacks aggrieved by the system.
Even if there is a daddy at home, the current paradigm is to place emotionally disturbed, violent children in a classroom, sometimes with a full-time handler.
I am not sure of the rationale, so I won’t hazard a guess.
The nuns in my grammar school didn’t care what your backstory was or special needs were. You acted up, you got the ruler, or worse - the yard long pointer stick made of yew.
the boy needs to be in a BD school if he hits teachers. You can’t blame a teacher for this. Social workers let this one slip. Social workers are always there to tell every one what they did wrong while never being there when the kids explode.
Seems to me there should have been a better way to resolve this than cuffing him (albeit unsuccessfully) and telling him they were putting him in jail.
Mom says her little angel has “special needs”
Well, yes. He needs to be handcuffed.
The rational was and still is that if these kids are placed in the regular classroom they will somehow (by osmosis?) learn how to act normally.
It was initially called “mainstreaming”. I don’t know what current psycho babble terminology is in use.
Then you got it again from dad when you got home.
I feel for this sub I was a substitute teacher for a school year and I got thrown under the bus for an incident. One work day, I asked the principle if there were any students that I had that had any issues And I told that could not tell me due to privacy. A child in the class sat in his desk and did nothing but sit in his chair and not talk to anyone. He asked to go to the bathroom and I let him. I had a teaching aid in my class who got upset and told me he was a runner from school and I immediately called the office and they got him before he could leave. I went to the office and the principal apologized profusely that they do not tell me about him.
The child sat in a room watched by two police officers til one of his parents picked him up. This was a constant MO for this kid. The nasty part of this is that the parents were going through a divorce which I think was the reason for the child’s actions. The school tried to remove him from school into his parent’s care as they could not help him and the parents sued the district to keep him school. Totally a tragic situation.
The boy should not have been in a regular school. He belongs somewhere to get the help he needs.
‘Regular schools’ are required to take them. There is no somewhere else for them. And schools are required to have kids like him in the regular classrooms as much as possible. Which means that at least 50% of your kid’s teachers effort and attention are focused on that one kid. If the kid is really crazy, he might have a full-time aid assigned to him. But he’ll still be in you kid’s classroom.
This is not the school’s decision, this is the law as it now exists. Only the most extraordinary behavior might result in expulsion and even then, your school district will have to pay for his ‘education’. And if his misbehavior can be linked to his official handicap, say Oppositional Defiance Disorder, he can’t be expelled.
I put this together and maintain it, because we so often cannot keep track of the disjointed way things are presented. I think this is the best way, for both understanding and reference to key articles, of the persecution of General Flynn.
I know this isn't immediately related to this subject at hand, but it illustrates the only reason I would willingly go the Washington Post is to get their own material to use against their cause.
How is this a bad thing? Showing this kid the consequences for his actions might keep him from becoming the kind of criminal rioting on the streets of Portland every night.
