5-Year-Old Cuffed, Arrested in Florida

Fri Mar 18, 1:45 PM ET U.S. National - AP

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - A 5-year-old girl was arrested, cuffed and put in back of a police cruiser after an outburst at school where she threw books and boxes, kicked a teacher in the shins, smashed a candy dish, hit an assistant principal in the stomach and drew on the walls.

The students were counting jelly beans as part of a math exercise at Fairmount Park Elementary School when the little girl began acting silly. That's when her teacher took away her jelly beans, outraging the child.

Minutes later, the 40-pound girl was in the back of a police cruiser, under arrest for battery. Her hands were bound with plastic ties, her ankles in handcuffs.

Serves her right, her parents should be bitch slapped and arrested as well for not keeping their daughter inline at home.

I have a 5 year old. I'd seriously inflict physical harm on someone if this happened to him.

WTF? You can almost see the "IM BLACK" sign hanging from that article. Fucking stupid people, that kid needs to be spanked, and the mother jailed.

Fry the little monster..... or life in solitary at least

String the body to the school gates as an example to other toddlers - or should I say 'enemy combatants'?

Ridiculous...they should concentrate on real criminals

SteveLightspeed · 03-18-2005, 10:26 PM

I have two monsters of my own. But if a teacher can't handle a 5 year old, maybe they should try a different profession?

No doubt the kid is a brat, but seriously, arresting her seems excessive.

I dont know about you, but if a kid is restrained with cuffs and plastic ties, he/she would have to be acting up pretty bad.. and for a 5 year old, its not that hard to imagine... I've seen plenty of kids act up enough for it to validate them to be restrained.

The girl was kicking and hitting people, and breaking property... the teachers obviously cant spank or restrain the kid because then itll be ABUSE or HARRASSEMENT (maybe even SEXUAL HARRASSMENT) so what better way to teach them a lesson then put them in cuffs? She wont act up like that again I bet, unless her mom makes it seem like shes a martyr. (which seems to be what the mother is trying to play off.)

The next thing we'll hear from this case is some stupid frivolous lawsuit against the school district and police department... stupidest shit ever.

iwantchixx · 03-18-2005, 10:28 PM

That child is going to be dangerous. That's a seriously violent temper tantrum.

Something's not right at home.

newbreed · 03-18-2005, 10:28 PM

Anyone entertaining the idea that she was being tought a lesson? That maybe the cuffs/restraints were to teach her what was to come if she kept it up in the future?

I'm not agreeing with it, just seeing it from the other side.

There is NEVER EVER a reason to put a 5 year old in handcuffs and placed in the back of a police car. EVER.

Look at the mothers reply, the kid is obviously not getting the discipline she needs at home, for this kid; I'd say it was a damn good idea. She had an outbreak because was screwing around with jelly beans and when the teacher took them away, she started acting up like a stupid brat, then her mother comes in and acts as if nothing happened and the kid was arrested for no reason at all.

If the mother had taught the kid better discipline at home, it would never have gotten to the stage it had. A 5 year old is plenty smart to know how to behave semi-appropriately if disciplined correctly.

NEVER. This is a child. 5 years old is kindergarten. I have one. I know their mentality. There are much better ways of dealing with a child than handcuffs and police cars.

As Steve said, a person shouldn't be a teacher if they can't handle a child without resorting to this.

How many of you implying that this is okay are actually parents of a child aged 5 or older?

There 'ya go, blame it on everyone else BUT the child and /or the parents. It's obvious everyone else put the kid in that position. Oh the shame...

I know that if there was a 5 year old in my house who was throwing books and boxes, kicking someone in the shins, smashing a candy dish, hitting another person in the stomach and drawing on the walls, I'd be putting the little brat in handcuffs myself. The school can't do that. Thus the police were called. The mother needs to get a grip and understand little Sweet Susi has some serious anger management problems that will just get worse with parental coddling.

Ok, so what is the school to do?
That kid obviously needed to be restrained in some manners.
Why do people get outraged when the right thing is done?
I have a 6 years old boy and a 9 years old girl.
Would I initially be outraged if I was called to their school to find one of them in the back seat of a police cruiser with handcuff? You betcha I would.
But if one of my kid did behave like that little girl, then I would make sure that they receive the proper attention that they deserve.
That little girl is in dire needs of mental help. It is probably not the kid's fault, kids are not born a certain way, they are made the way they are by their parents or whoever raised them

Perhaps you belive it would be better to allow the teacher to bitch slap the kid and the fucking mother for not rearing her kid with more disipline? Keeerist!

They could have at least waited till the kid took a cop's gun and whacked someone before putting her in handcuffs !

Damian_Maxcash · 03-18-2005, 10:47 PM

When I was a kid I was sent to my room with no supper, or given some time out.... cutting a kid off with no contact for a few minutes works wonders

Cuffed, shackled and shoved in police car?!! Anyone heard of "scared for life"? She should sue for her future therepy bills.........

So they accomplished what? Scared a little girl for a day or two..When I was in grade school I got the fucking strap and that bitch hurt..Kids know they can basically get away with murder nowadays and laugh at authority.Why waste valuable resources on shit like this?Bust the crack dealers feeding the kids parents so they could discipline her in the first place

I suspect if this had ever actually been DONE to this child at home, she wouldn't have thown books and boxes, kicked a teacher in the shins, smashed a candy dish, hit an assistant principal in the stomach and drawn on the walls when her jelly beans were taken away.

Disipline is taught at home. And when it's not, these are the results.

I was talking about the mother, but your post was still funny

Superterrorizer · 03-18-2005, 10:57 PM

They probably called the cops because of all the fucking whack job parents who would flip out if the school punished the kid themselves. Parents like this kids are the first people to freak if a teacher raises their voice to the child, yet they don't do a fucking thing at home to keep the kid in line. Pretty fucking ironic but true. Simple solution, raise your kid properly. My children would never do that shit in school. Why? Because they know fucking well that's not how you act, period.

The headline should have read:
"5 year old cuffed, arrested in florida, mother and father are fucking idiots"

My assessment:
Single mother raising her child alone. The mother is most likely black, so she can play the race card and say the school was just picking on her kid because she was black, and never be made to change her parenting methods. The kid will switch schools, the mother will continue to be a useless parent, the kid will continue being a little bastard.

My solution:

Slap the mother across her ignorant face.
Teach that kid some fucking respect.

Poor parenting is probably the #1 cause of all these kids in the world acting like little pricks. If your kid acts like this one, or has some bullshit made up disorder like ADD, it's your fucking fault. Be accountable for your children. And be posting any fucking gay replies about ADD. If you didn't plop your fucking kid in front of the TV 24 hours a day and feed it root beer and potoato chips instead of milk from the time it could hold it's head up it wouldn't be a fucking spaz.

Am I trolling? Maybe. But I am right.

Wait, what are you supposed to do if some kid is throwing things at you?

Hit the kid? No.
Handcuff the kid? No.
Grab the kid kicking and screaming and biting? Either way, someone gets hurt but cant hurt the kid, or get accused of being too violent.

Seems like the handcuffing part is not excessive. Seems like arresting the kid is excessive.

Please what were they supposed to do put her in "time out" or some other BS crap? No like they could paddle her. I have a 9 year old and I can tell you at 5 LOGIC and REASON doesn't work on them. Their brains don't get that. A red stinging ass is something they do GET.

Stamen · 03-19-2005, 02:06 AM

IdealBandwidth is absolutely correct that the reason this got out of hand is because the school authorities are afraid of the lawsuit. Sadly, the mother of the girl will probably still get her lawsuit after she finishes "consulting with her attorney"

Should the little girl have been hemmed up and put in the back of the cruiser? Hell no.

But was there any alternative that wouldn't lead to a lawsuit against the school? Sadly, no.

And DonovanPhillips, the article states that the assistant principal got hit in the stomach, which means that when the situation was out of the teachers hands, she went to the administration, which is exactly what should have been done.

How would you handle it if you were in the same position and had a serious lawsuit riding on the decision you made?
