Those who pass as so-called school administrators & so-called police officers are at it again, saving us, the public, from the evil designs of the underworld of crime committed by 5 year olds.
At Fairmount Park Elementary School, St. Petersburg, Florida, a 5 year old girl took a temper tantrum. You may have seen the video of the incident on the news. Apparently this 5 year old outlaw went on her crime streak after her jelly beans were taken from her during a math exercise because she was acting silly. Her tantrum include pulling papers off the bulletin board, writing on the blackboard, flailing her arms & kicking at teachers. Since the teachers seem untrained to handle such situations, they called the local police.
By the time 4 officers arrived, the girl had calmed down. But that didn't stop are fearless fuzz from inciting the girl into more outbursts when she saw them approach her. They decided to arrest the girl. They put her over a desk & handcuffed her. The metal cuffs didn't fit (who woulda thought!), so they put plastic cuffs on her. These courageous cops then dragged her out & put her into a police car. The girl continued her outbursts from this latest indignity, so they put plastic cuffs on her legs.
Ever diligent, they called the Prosecutor for guidance & possible charges. The Prosecutor in effect told the cops to take a hike. The girl was soon released when her mother arrived on the scene. The girl faces school disciplinary action.
This is another sad tale of stupid & ignorant school administrators & even stupider & more ignorant cops. There is something drastically wrong with a school staff that can't handle a disruptive child & resorts to the quick fix of calling police. They didn't even call the campus officer, who has more experience with children then the local police. And the mindless cops are missing a screw if they think it is reasonable to handcuff a 5 year old, especially when she had already calmed down. They handcuffing her only incited her again. We hope the girls mother sues big & wins big against the school & police department.
It is happening too often. Too often nowadays we read about school officials abrogating their responsibilities of handling disciplinary issues in-house. Instead, they are too quick to call local police. And the police are too eager to respond to an incident by cuffing & arresting a child for what years earlier would be a trip to the Principal's Office. They are making criminals of children over petty & mundane school issues.
The ones who really need an education are these idiotic school officials & the equally idiotic police who respond.
But, hey, at least another killa kindergarten kid has been taken off the streets. The world is made a little bit safer thanks to our heros in the school administration & police force. Now maybe teachers can start doing what they're paid to do - teach. And cops can start doing what they're paid to do - spend some time going after the real criminals on the streets.
