In actions described by a civil rights organization as "appalling," Baltimore City police arrested four elementary school students Thursday, hauling them out from school in handcuffs.
Michael Vogel was sitting at home when his granddaughter's school called to tell him that something happened.
"I said, 'What's the matter?' and they said, 'Your granddaughter's been arrested,'" Vogel said.
At about noon Thursday, Vogel's 9-year-old granddaughter, two other 9-year-old girls and an 8-year-old boy were arrested by city police at Morrell Park Elementary/Middle School. Vogel said he wasn't notified until several hours later, and he immediately called his daughter, Loretta Hammonds, to let her know what happened."
I immediately ran to the Juvenile Justice Center, and they would not let me see her or even talk to her," Hammonds said. "I just started crying. My baby's in the back of a cell and she's 9 years old."

His kids a thug.and if not hanging with them and nit far from being one.
ReplyDeleteAnd cops should arrest where ever period.
Now here is the kicker.....no cop should ever speak to a child with out a parent or their permission.
This is a common tactic used by our sherriffs dept in wicomico.along with a teacher or deputy stirring a statement and having your child sign it as true. A school resource officer by the name of geezman is king of this.
So it is acceptable to handcuff 8 and 9 year olds and drag them to jail but asking someone to show photo ID to vote is wrong. Thanks Demonrats!
