Cop Arrests Five Year Old for Acting Out in School...Zip Ties Hands and Feet. (Video)

These children are all dangerous criminals and should be locked up for life!

All I can say is that if a cop did this to my child, it would be Hell-To-Pay time...Period.

Police State coming to a school near you. What is going on in the minds of cops these days that they would even consider that this is justified? If they can't control a 5 yr old child without resorting to ties, how did they get to be cops in the first place?

We are seeing more and more of this every day. What is happening to our police? Where do they learn that this is acceptable? Are they being taught to act like this? Is this a hint of the unstable minds of new recruits and/or the lack of psychiatric evaluations?

Shame.

It’s another example demonstrating that the cops are out of control. A five year old boy is arrested and handcuffed for the crime of disrespecting a cop at a public re-education camp in California. The incident is a reminder that the state thinks it owns our children. Instead of calling his mother – who should be responsible for the five year old’s behavior – the school called in a cop. Apparently the cop is assigned to patrol the school the same way “correction officers” patrol the corridors of prisons.

A statement I can get behind:

"Parents of means should immediately take their children out of public school and homeschool them if possible. It’s the only way to tell the state they do not own our children. It’s the only way to make sure they are not trained to be little prisoners owned by the state. "

he should have been tazed and pepper sprayed once restrained.
right?

Maybe he deserved the treatment ,he is already at a re- education camp.
Probably running amok and being a complete jerk.Sort him out now before he turns being an [snip] into a lifetime career,Wheres mummy and daddy ? at home fretting over little jimmy?
If you (not you) have children then get your [snip] together and spend time helping them become good people while they are young.

Thanks for sharing, now I may vomit I am sooo disgusted! I have a 6 year old son and if that happened to him, I would be the one locked up for battery I guarantee it!

Scared Straight program for 5 year old's with ADHD? Fantastic school policy, that should work great! Perhaps a bit of social conditioning as well, teach the young black child that he can expect to be treated like a criminal by a cop. That should go over well, by the time he's in high school.

I can agree that the parents are at fault so many times but can't get behind the "Maybe he deserved it" statement.

No child deserves to be tied down by a stranger in a uniform who outweighs the child 5-1. Nope, can't agree at all.

Peace

What the police officer did was wrong.
My wife has worked special ed for years,this would not have been one of her kids.
He had a discipline problem and that is all.
What my wife dealt with were mental issues.
They,the teachers were instructed and trained specifically for those types of behaviors.
They were trained in proper restraining of those kids.

On the rare occasion that a child could not be restrained and posed a danger to himself and others,then the police came.

Not in this case.
Why would a teacher,let alone a school even allow this to take place to begin with?
Don't they have counselors and trained professionals to handle this kind of situation ?
Both the school and the police officer are to blame.

You are kidding I hope. No 5 year old CHILD deserves that! Did you even watch the video?

I agree.

NO ONE has the right to tie down my child...NO ONE!

Touch him and YOU will pay the price. I can guarantee it.

Oh...Peace...

Wife: How was work today honey?
Cop: Oh pretty good, managed to arrest a 5 year old kid with ADHD.

I think they need to make it harder for people to join the police force, what is wrong with these people?!

To be honest ,I posted only on what was written and now after watching the video,well it doesnt really put much light on the situation. Just words and accounts from each side so i retract the part about him deserving it ,because it s hard to tell what actually went down .Either way ,The mum or dad should take the child on a camping trip and do some fishing or bushwalking ,cut out tthe soft drinks or candy and see how much his "adhd" improves

Okay so the cop was definitely out of control and over-reacting. That being said his mother is at fault as well for signing the child up for the intervention anyways. I hardly think a 5 year old needs to be "scared straight" and I'd like to point out that the "scare them straight tactic" isn't very reliable and has very little long term results.

I have to first say, this mother is ridiculous. She has been asking and begging the school to give her help in making her own child behave, and she agrees to let the cop "scare him straight," so she got what she deserved. Stupid mother.

Now, on to the cop. Zip tying hands and feet of a kid that is already agitated and scared? That is torture. Cruel and Unusual Punishment. The cop touched him first, so that was assault, the kid was technically defending himself. Then to go so far as to actually transport the kid and file charges and send them to a grand jury? If that were my kid, * * * * * * * * a lot of words go here, but none of them are T&C friendly, or even legal * * * * * * * *. For those that wish to fill in the blanks and criticize, don't bother. You won't change my mind, and there is nothing too harsh for someone that would do that to a child. I can't imagine the fear of that poor 5 year old. I have a 5 and a 4 year old, and they would be inconsolable if they were bound, tied, and taken to jail. They would never trust a cop again, for good reason, and they would expect Daddy to save them. AND, DADDY WOULD!

Does this cop have any common sense? With all the media coverage on cops doing outrageous things, you would think this cop would have thought twice before arresting a five year-old boy. You arrest a 5 year-old because he swatted away your hand and kicked you in the knee? That sounds like a typical 5 year-old who is upset and angry.

What a wimp, he shouldn't even be on the police force if he doesn't know how to handle a situation with a 5 year-old. I thought these cops go through training before becoming police officers.

I have said this way too many times...
All our problems with schools seem to start in california.
I can't imagine why anyone would do this to a 5 year
old.Why do the schools feel they have to call the police
when there is a problem at school? Why can't the parents
be called first and allowed to make decisions about THEIR
children?
I would be really bent out of shape if this was one of my
grandchildren.

Oh this cop should be ashamed of himself. Whats the matter? Stockton not have any Occupy Protesters to spray or stick that day? Geeze.. a FIVE year old. I listened to the whole TV report and it's just atrocious. Is this cop so full of his own sense of self importance and job that he can't imagine a little kid NOT LIKING the cops?? Hey, I'm almost 40 and I would be offended by a cop putting his hand on me for any reason that wasn't requested or expected. I wouldn't kick the guy in the knee....lol..but the kid is 5.

What happened to officer discretion and common sense with the badge? Once upon a time the kid would have gotten a suspension and stiff talking to. The report says at the end that the Judge dismissed the batter on a Police Officer charge. What the hell?? The cop actually pushed it THAT far?! What a honest to goodness, true blue, LOSER! ...and that's the nicest thing I have to say.

Oh..and the school needs to work on their special needs program too!

right?

NO absolutely not!!
He should of had the tazer and the pepper spray
that is all. No restraints needed..

The tazer and pepper spray would of shut the little brat up
and if he kept acting up then he gets pepper sprayed and tazed
again..

After the second or third time, I GUARANTEE you the
kid would learn *i act like a little crap i get tazed and pepper sprayed
better stop acting like a little crap*

edit on 27-11-2011 by popsmayhem because: (no reason given)

Tazing and pepper spraying a 5 yr old child?

I'm going to take this as sarcasm. At least I hope so.

A time out in the corner would have been more appropriate.
The cop should have got up and walked away.

I agree with you parents about doing that to a 5 year old child is wrong in that child's case.

But,I have seen a 6 year old child go completely nuts and try to stab everyone including himself with scissors.
But this child was mentally challenged and had been severely abused over his lifetime.
I have seen and heard many things worst than that happening.

This kid,he was just acting out,nothing more.
The police officer overacted.

I would never have taken my ADHD child on a camping trip. That is an uncontrolled environment that lends itself to dangerous possibilities.

I did have her on a strict diet and she swam every night on a swim team from the time she was 6.

Was this child a danger to other children?

ADHD is an umbrella label encompassing a wide variety of behavior issues - generally believed to be as a result of some brain dysfunction or damage.

This is not a case/situation that can be judged from being outside - looking in.
