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

What's really sad, the lady is right. The children want to be heard but no one is hearing them, helping them or helping find suitable placement and they brush it off to have the child be someone elses problem. Maybe if they can spend time with these children and work with them on a solution, a solution can be met. But, they aren't even given that chance. They need to be in a placement with other children who are similar to their problem, so they don't feel left out. You can't expect a child to change if their in isolation from other children to them that are abnormal. [Normal functioning children]. They need to be met with special needs. Treating these children like other children is not the way to go.

This "adhd" thing is BS. It's just an excuse for the mother to collect SSI checks and get special ed services.
It's a racket for drug companies and an excuse to dope your kid up so you don't have to deal with them acting like a kid. The fact is the kid's father aint around to smack him when he acts up, so he's out of control. Thanks to the liberals who've told women for years they don't need a man in the home and they can raise a child on their own, this is the kind of trash they produce.
We need more of these little punks to be straightened out...and if their parents can't or wont then it should be on society's shoulders to take care of it. Otherwise they grow up and push shopping carts off buildings onto peoples heads.
Our country can't take more of this coddling people approach. Look where we are because of it!

I don't blame the cop he did his job. Sending a cop in there is akin to sending the military in to stop a bar fight. What would you expect to happen?

How would you expect the cop to react to a kid acting out violently? What should he have done? Don't get me wrong I am completely aware of the growing police state problem and I am totally against it.

I think the parent(s) is to blame for at least some of the child's behavioral problem. But, the school is responsible for the way they handled the problem. They should not have sent a cop in there to do their job, they should have made sure the child was receiving the psychiatric treatment (or evaluations) he needed and they should have placed the child where he needed to be.

Not only does the boy 'often get into fights with other kids' (he often hits other kids!), he is so out of control that he hits a policeman.

Does this child think he can hit everyone without consequence?

By the way, ADHD doesn't make kids hit other kids and policemen. That's just a red herring.

The kid is just being an extremely violent little brat.

Pity the poor kids who have to deal with him on a daily basis.

When I was a kid, if you acted the way this kid is described as acting, you got a paddle smack on your backside, and that fixed the problem. We have a five year old who refuse to behave, a few good hard smacks on the back side would fix the problem, but noooo, ignorant people refuse to recognize that physically misbehaving should be dealt with using physical responses. So we get cops called in, and the kid gets restrained, but noooo, how dare anyone do anything to make this kid behave.

And what about all the other kids in this class who are probably continuously bullied by this kid, who probably makes going to school a hellish environment for the rest of the kids in the class.

If you teach your child to behave and respect others, then you will never have to worry about this. If you spoil the kid, and feed the little ego, continuous problems is what you will always get.

America,Definition: Nazi Facist Police State. What the hell is this crap when you dumb b******* let cops get away with arresting a 5 year old child this is not right guys why don't you stand up against this kind of opression fight for your dam kids and don't let the police harm them like this im to stunned to say much else so just get you s*** together america i would have expected more from you.

Exactly.
These kids are going to suffer educationally and physically/mentally because 1 kid can't contain himself.
The mother should do what mothers used to do before Big Brother got in the act and started telling people how to run their lives. You take a switch to kid's ass, get him to church, stop letting him veg in front of a TV or video game and feed him a proper diet and I'll bet this nonsense stops within a few weeks.

I have a couple of friends who don't discipline their children. And guess what? Their kids are so bad, that no amount of money would make me want to babysit them. However, as bad as they are, zip-tying their hands and driving them off in a cop car is outrageous! This probably traumatized the kid. If I was his mother, I would be taking this cop's butt to court. I would be doing all the interviews I could to let the world know what happened. This 5 year old was not a threat. That cop was pis*ed and wanted to show that kid who was boss.

That was the other way kids used to learn manners. Bullies aren't all bad. They eventually meet their match, and both kids get a valuable life lesson. Also, kids learn coping mechanisms that fit their skill set the best. It might be intelligence, comedy, or adrenalin, but they learn how to deal with a bully.

Now, I don't think this kid was necessarily a bully, lots of kids lash out at other kids. Pushing, kicking, and slapping hands is not "violence," but still, if nature would take its natural course, that kid would learn you can't just push or hit at every kid.

A kid hit my 5 year old in the face. He told the teacher. Good kid. It happened again the same day, and after the hit, he left his arm up there to rub it around, and my son bit the hell out of it. He isn't a biter, but it was the quickest way to get the arm removed from his face, LOL! The teachers took him out of recess for the afternoon as a punishment, and he came home with a note and he was scared he was going to get in trouble. I let him explain the whole situation, and then I told him he will never get in trouble for sticking up for himself. I told him biting someone is not a good thing, but I understood why he did it. I told him to always give the teachers a chance to fix things, but I also told him to never worry about getting in trouble for sticking up for himself, or another kid. I thought the removal from recess seemed fair. The school did the right thing. Now imagine if, instead of a removal from recess, they called the police, ziptied his hands and feet, and pressed charges? There would have been hell to pay!

I agree that children need discipline. I have two boys and if someone was bullying either one, I would want something done about it. And the same goes for my boys. My 6 year old is friends with twin girls next door and they had a great time playing all summer. I found out that he was acting like they weren't his friends on the bus because some other boy made fun of him for being friends with girls. I bagged up all of his favorite toys and threw them in the garage. We had a looooong talk that night about how we should treat our friends, and how he would feel if they didn't want to play with him anymore. I also told him if I heard anything else he would no longer be riding the bus, I would drive him. I haven't had any problems since. Parents need to take the time to see what discipline works for their child.
THIS story isn't about what the mother is doing wrong or right. It's about a 5 YEAR OLD being arrested! That is crossing the line. No child should know what it feels like to be cuffed and drove away in a cop car!

Great.

Nothing to see here, folks!

Let's direct people away from the issue discussed.

Can their tactics get any more transparent? Are they THAT arrogant? Do they think we are THAT stupid?!

Shame!

Does this cop have any common sense?


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.

yes he is a whimp..like any cop who agrees with this.

Cops are not hired to use common sense.
They are hired to blindly follow orders to assist the department in securing funding. period.
Arrest records and crime stats equal dollars.

Anyone smart enough to see this, with big enough balls to say or do something is fired or never hired.
Cops are trained to hide behind " it's my job" to excuse unacceptable behavior.
These are the candidates selected.

Cops need to understand the badge will not protect you as you are led to believe.
People will bravely fight and die for the saftey of their children.
I know I would.
Touch my child like that and we will all make national news, badge or no badge.


I Have a special disgust for anyone who thinks hurting a child is acceptable behavior.
I have a special hatred for cops who think assaulting a 5 year old is acceptable even under the guise of their useless job.

The problem is that public schools are so restricted in how they can deal with a problem child, that this is what it has came down to.

Private schools just kick the kid out, end of problem. Public schools are forced to deal with worse case scenarios, and are greatly restricted in how they are allowed to deal with bad behavior, so now it has came down to calling the police. Clearly this kid is way out of control. He physically attacked the cop. What has he done to other kids in the class?

How else are they supposed to deal with this kids aggressive physical behavior?

It's a sad dam day when you can't discipline your own child and have to try to get "assistance". That ego-feeding mom needs to take some responsibility for the actions and behavior of the little monster she's created.

I feel bad for the cop.

Don't worry about the mom. She'll probably get a payout and she can buy more soda, junkfood and video games to raise her kid(s).

Adhd is absolutely nOT BS.

Yes, it is grossly misdiagnosed, and grossly overmedicated, but ADHD is absolutely real.

The problem is, the majority of ADHD kids are actually autistic on some level of the spectrum. And you cannot medicate autism.

This kid is, almost certainly, an undiagnosed autistic. And yes, autism can make a kid black out, and autistics are often prone to violent rage episodes in which they black out.

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.

Are you kidding me? Water boarding is torture.. not this ##SNIPPED## kid getting tied up for being retarded.


I expect this post to be removed promptly..

People who say "if that happened to my kid, I would...!!" blah blah blah. This is the problem. People expect the world to put up with their kids and whatever disrespect and b.s. their kids feel like dishing out. If your kid is reasonably civil and well-behaved, then you have nothing to worry about. If your kid is a problem, then your kid is not going to be babied. The world is changing, ok. You'd best teach your kids to act straight, because society's tolerance for b.s. is at an all-time low. Get it together.

"if you follow the rules, then you have no reason to fear a police state".

there are MANY reasons why children dont behave, and its not all just because they are a brat.

Did you really just describe a 5 year old the way you did? Wow. Just wow. I have no words.

reply to post by Gwampo


He's FIVE!

He was already scared of the cop, agitated, and not wanting to be touched. So the solution was to BIND HIM! That is specifically torture. The kid is irrational. He doesn't know if he is going to die or not. It is a perfect parallel to water boarding. The same sensations, the same fear factor, the same irrational response.

An adult would likely know the difference between water boarding and just being bound and transported, but a 5 year old doesn't know the difference.

The worst possible thing you can do to someone in an agitated state is try to hold them down.

And you sure are a tough guy calling a 5 year old names. I wonder if you'd have the same courage to fight a cop? This kid is asserting his rights to not be touched and taking the consequences, not that many adults have the same will-power.
