The handcuffs were too large to fit around the wrists of the 8-year-old boy and the 9-year-old girl, both of whom have been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and are identified in court documents only by their initials. The boy also has a history of trauma, CBS affiliate WKYT reports.
School Resource Officer Kevin Sumner put the handcuffs around the children's biceps, locking their arms behind them. A video of one of the incidents shows the 8-year-old boy struggling and crying while sitting in a chair.
"You don't get to swing at me like that," Sumner told the boy, according to a video that was captured by a school administrator and uploaded to YouTube by the American Civil Liberties Union, which is representing the women and their children. "You can do what we've asked you to, or you can suffer the consequences."

ReplyDeleteSo having ADHD now means you are disabled. Will they be able to collect a soon to be non existent Social Security Disability paycheck each month.

DeleteRegardless of what their disabilities are, they must be trained to control their aggressive impulses. Physically assailing any other person must be met with restraint necessary to prevent the assault regardless of potential for injury.
ReplyDeleteThe individual's right to be free of assault, is not superseded by another's purported inability to refrain from that assault, no matter how trivial.
If the parents are unable to train the child not to be disruptive, they should either accept that others may have to take measures they find necessary to protect themselves and others, or they can homeschool him.
No, 844, this shifts the costs of the lawsuit to the insurance companies, thus saving the SSD funds.
ReplyDeleteSee how cool that works?
8:44-
ReplyDeleteYou hit the nail on the head. We receive disability determination packets all he time for children with ADD/ADHD. So they get money for having a "disabled" child and the kid doesn't even take the meds as the parent is selling them.. SMH
There has to be another way.
ReplyDeleteEver think maybe more to this story? More to this picture?
Delete8:44 and since the child is disabled standardize test can be "modified" to fit the disability.
