Police officers at a Florida elementary school arrested an 8-year-old boy who had allegedly hit a teacher — only to realize the boy's wrists were too small for the handcuffs

Part of the Key West police bodycam footage of the December 2018 arrest was released on Monday by civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who is representing the boy's mother. On Tuesday she filed a federal lawsuit, claiming that the officers used excessive force, that school officials failed to intervene, and that the city and school district violated the Americans with Disabilities Act. The lawsuit says the boy has special needs.Key West Police declined to comment to CNN, citing the litigation.

Here is whyThe teacher did not sustain any"obvious injuries" from the punch, the report states. The portion of the police bodycam footage, provided by Crump, begins afterward as three officers move to arrest the boy, who is sitting and crying."Son, you know where you're going? You're going to jail," one officer says.The officer asks him to put his hands up against a cabinet and then pats the boy down, the video shows.

🤦‍♀️🤦🏿‍♂️

Should have held his little hands anyways. And showed him much LOVE!

This was back in 2018 but what can you expect from the China News Network.

Here's a better story. Special place in hell for you and your puppet masters. Keep kicking ass realDonaldTrump DavidJHarrisJr TuckerCarlson

'Your hands are too small,' the officer says. WHAT THE FUCK. DefundThePolice

Now do Cannon Hinnant

Use a zip tie on the vicious 8 year old CHILD! Broken-America!

are you crazy ¿?

That’s bull...the school couldn’t handle the situation themselves...get new school personnel!

CannonHinnant

They are friggin' nuts!!!! This is child abuse. He will grow up to fear and hate police. Not to mention the needless psychological damage. That said, shame on you teacher who cannot manage an 8-year-old. He needs parents, not the law.

Have they no humanity?

It's sad it has come to this. But it would be really sad to not do anything,and the next time the kid stabs, or kills someone. It's a hard response to a very serious act.

Really. You have to take these measures on an 8 year old. Come on

Serabbi What is wrong with the police on this country. Why ONLY in the US we hear stories like this..... ?

It should have not taken 9 months to have a 8 yr olds case dismissed. He should’ve been released to his parent’s. Not put through the system. Florida has some backwards policies dealing with juveniles.

Handcuffs an 8 year old boy by Florida police?

United States of Shame

You should be arresting the 8 year old in the White House. Big orange man bad

This Scene Speaks Volume 😈

cannonhinnant

Why is 2018 news new again? Why did the family wait 2 years to bring a lawsuit? Even children with issues need to learn respect and right and wrong.

Lord, please shame& silence the communist Fake News media who spread hate&division n our country with their lies!Deliver us from evil&those who want to destroy our country! Unite us n our love for You! Bring Truth,Justice&Peace back to our country!To God B the Glory! InJesusName!

American law enforcement needs a complete purge,get rid off all the idiots,bullies,predators,racists & thug's etc...

No mention he was special needs Or this is 2 years old and the lawsuit

Handcuffed a kid? WTF? 😂😂😂😂😂

Clever innit?

Inappropriate and inhumane

Maybe schools need to create a mini-holding cell on the premises for little law-breakers to give them a time-out with a side of fear, and treat them like a little prisoner for an hour or two. More effective than cuffing them and dragging them away to a station.

Stupid SOP of police

Nope!! He got learn the lesson me I should got it too his parents!!

handcuff an eight year old boy....o dear o dear...u r teaching how to become criminal...i thot US has high standard of living... this is even worse than afghanistan....Sorry USA

We need to give our loved ones time, space, and emotional support so they can get in touch with their passions.

He's just 8 it sucks

We must shutdown all news station and media. You are missing lading the people at this point. Crime is crime does not matter how old. If you do not knows how to guide your next generation how to RESPECT. The future sociaty will be worst then now. America country.

Shoulda just led the punk out by his ear, as a parent should have done long ago.

Police is police in every county or is it the law in this case, how can you be arresting a boy of 8year. He school failed in the responsibility to look after the boy. For the seek of love the boy should have been corrected by the school authority and the police office.

Qué horror!!! 😰😓

Wait this can't happen, the child is white.

What if after the elections, we stick Trump and his admin in Florida and then build a big fucking wall blocking off all that shit?

Well hell, they shoulda zip tied, or hog tied the little bastard. Jfc who arrests a child? Where’s a competent social worker or Psychologist/Psychiatrist? Oh, cuz all that funding went to the police.

Wonderful

Some want the schools to fix their children and the police to fix our schools. Parents need to make decisions before they turn their kids over to the schools. And parents need to be more involved in school discipline policies. The schools work for us.

When I was coming up that same teacher would’ve spanked my ass . This what the time out generation is bringing 2 us a bunch spoiled temper tantrum throwing kids that turn into spoiled temper tantrum throwing adults that do mass shootings

No hitting teachers why do parents think any teacher needs hitting ! kids with behaviour issues need more care from another source. The police should not have to deal with this stuff. Nor should problem kids be ruining the schooling of kids who behave. On both sides it’s not fair

Gotta pump those numbers!

I do not know about hand cuffing a minor. A lot of thought should be given to it before applying hand cuffing to avoid any long term psychological effects.

Humanity. 👍

😮

How disgusting that they could treat someone so young in such a way, how can they possibly justify such action?

School officials and police district should be held accountable for their careless action. The teacher should be held accountable and reprimanded for not even knowing the difference of a regular child and a child with special needs....Why is she teaching!!!

Solution is kid sized handcuffs

I’m surprised they didn’t put a knee to his neck. Sick sadists.

I still can’t quite get past this. Devastatingly cruel.

makoydakuykoy : Real-world affairs as parody.

Put hand cuffs on my 8 year old and you’re gonna need another pair for me too

You keep posting this over & over to incite hatred. FakeNews strikes again.

Makes perfect sense to treat mental health issues with handcuffs.

Probably a good sign that what you’re doing might not be appropriate

Haha 😂

Good

Now do Cannon Hinnant.

Only in America

Absolutely disgusting

He’s white so it’s OK.

Back the Blue😂😂😂 A bunch of insecure high school dropouts terrorizing little kids. I wish someone gives that cop a good spanking (may be not, they seem to like it in the ranks). A man with a badge and a gun is nothing but a criminal waiting to happen. bluelivesmatter

He is juvenile. The handcuffs are meant for criminals. Don't ever try on kids what you try on criminals. Explain to the boy his wrong and teach him what is right. Don't commit your wrongs on an innocent by doing such acts.

Not the first time.

Wow! embarrassing policing smh

If he assaulted a person. He should face the consequences.

... but big enough to hit a teacher?

If my kid threatened a teacher by saying “my mother will beat your ass” to a teacher, I’d want cops to scare him. Before liberal helicopter parenting it was not an unusual lesson. But instead the parents will drug the kid and send him off to boarding school.

This is Trump's America.. Shame Shame Shame

you’ve posted this 3 times now

So sad, that they wanted to put an 8 year old in cuffs, but a mentally challenged child as well! Where is their training, where is their sensitivity, where is their humanity. These police are not serving the community, they are a threat to the community

D-E-F-U-N-D the police. Place serving the public trust above enforcing laws. Fund services focused on treating people with dignity and respect. Jail and rehabilitate only those who pose an immenent danger to others.

Omg . Such stupid reporting.

There is so much wrong with this 😢

Was she 8 or 6? Conflicting reports!

Lousy teachers, I'd say for a start?!? Which 'Karens' are calling cops on 8yr old in the first place?! (to fire these incompetent ridiculous lousy cops is a no-brainer anyway...Shame) BananaRepublic Florida ShitholeCountry

Probably happened because the teachers were afraid to lay a hand on the boy and later getting sued for it 🤷 If they are to discipline children, give them at least some tools to do so, eh Guess the alternative would be just waiting the kid's tantrum out and expelling him?

Use Cable Ties, that works better than Handcuffs

Isn't this an old story?

Barr will call it equal justice, De Santis will call it is what it is, the superintendent will call it school rules, the teacher will call fear, trump will call it Low & order, The police will call it self defense. My question is what are we going to call it ? seriously !

2018? if it isn't fake news its old news

How do you put handcuffs on a child?

Kids hit. They hit each other, they hit adults. Our job is to reinforce that hitting is wrong, and apply reasonable consequences that the CHILD understands. Time out, sent home, maybe suspended. Saying you're going directly to jail is heinous.

CNN stirring the pot... and who stood there taking pics? Did they take a mug shot too?

Cops being cops. Too dumb for the army

Go to the principal,call parents ..arrest an 8 year old who on top of it is special needs child,seriously that is messed u!Find out why child hit teacher,was he provoked,what led up to it.Discipline child accordingly with parents input,detention,no recess for few days,an essay..

KWPOLICE WTH is wrong with your department? That was a special needs child probably with an IEP. And you arrest him like an adult? MonroeCountyDA what were you thinking?! USA is watching. AttorneyCrump sending +energy for justice for parents & kid. ACLU please support them

I guess the news here is a boy hitting a teacher. This generation must know their limits and respect others. Today, hitting teachers, tomorrow, robbing banks.

Surely there is another way to sort this out. Ridiculous. What would they have done next! Shoot him probably!

Are you serious? 8 yo being handcuffed? Please find out what got the kid to this point.

He need counseling not an arrest 🤦🏻 idiots !

What happen to getting suspended and getting an ass whipping from mommy.

If I’m a cop called to that school I’m refusing to do my job. If you can’t teach special needs children then why are you in the classroom What the hell?!?!?!?!

WTF......children under 10 cant commit crime, they dont have the mens rea! They are Doli Incompax!

First of all. Arresting an 8 yr old? What the fuck

This is just ridiculous. Surely there has to be another way of reprimanding the boy without subjecting him to the trauma of being arrested

An 8 year old in handcuffs, wtf is wrong with you people

Oh my God this child will traumatizef or the rest of this life

Idiots

His wrists will forever be small for handcuffs.

This is so dumb. An 8 year old gets zip ties. Those cuffs aren't going to fit.

American police behaves like mad dogs. How could a police officer use handcuffs on a minor? Disgusting!

New level of stupid .

What happened to the school authorities? Huh!...this is wrong.

This is ridiculous!

The USA is so full of violence

Definitely, we need to defund and dismantle the police. There are far better ways to protect and serve the public.

Only CNN could spin this 😂😂 Cops were teaching a lesson.

Who the hell released video of an 8-year old child being arrested? The parents of this child should raise hell about this.

Oh I wish I could turn back time to the good old days when CNNwas the most trusted name in news! It’s sad these days that it’s the most corrupt news network in the world! The world has gone upside down!

America police really need a reform, arresting 8 year old! It was better to just suspend him from the school that is operating in the middle of corona epidemic

Did the police think he was a danger they had to handcuffed a little kid the handcuffs didn't even fit that kind of tells you something.

There is ZERO excuse for putting an 8 year old in cuffs! “Allegedly” does not make him guilty.

That's it folks. You have to use disposable handcuffs. Much more efficient in this type of case

LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP!

Save the handcuffs for BLM members!

This world is so messed up and leaders don't seem to care about Anything but there own wealth. We as humans need to stand together regardless color or race and end this .

Stupid assholes, they have traumatized this child, shame on School Administrators and police!

The system stinks , arresting a 8 yrs old for a minor offence when they should be counciling him in front of him parents

Good........give the police a medal

Policed state indoctrination

It’s the way of the country. Kids today have no respect.

Sad

the child was autistic!! His brain was stuck and he couldn't process and he hit! Its so common with special needs kids. He needed a therapist to help him regulate not a cop!

Actions have consequences!

😂😂😂

This is why police officers have no place in our schools! Ridiculous....arresting an 8 year old boy for what’s clearly a behavioral issue?! He’s a kid...not a criminal.

You guys have become freakin g insane... have u been paid by trump? Is it freaking normal to freaking handcuff a kid A 8 year old kid?

That's the stupidest headline I've ever read in my life. Why can't you just lead with 'Young Boy's Disability Rights Violated by School and Police'. Substitute teachers are not properly trained Special Needs Teachers. The school violated the students right to a qualified teacher.

Please don't handcuffs the boy is small

There is no reason, ever, that police ought to be putting handcuffs on little kids. The policeman should be ashamed.

Fire the teacher.

Next time a 5 years old boy will be arrested,

Honest to god, what is wrong with the police? It’s just one disgusting thing after another.

So the cops did the only thing that they could. They beat the little boy's wrists until they were swollen enough to put on the cuffs

bryanboy Dear America, what the actual fuck ⁉️

How ridiculous the officers must be to handcuff an eight year old? How can an eight year old be such a big threat to society?

paulamc45 .

Your wrists too small to box with Police...

Maybe because the children shouldn’t be handcuffed. Outrageous.

And they wonder why people want the police defunded. I bet this police officer was one of the weird nearly 18000 law enforcement agencies in the US. Everything from Park Police to Mint Police to Sheriffs to City Police and Troopers and University Police. Arm the teachers I say.

😳

The policeman don't decide what to charge the kid with right? They may report it but ultimately its up to the DA's office. Blame the people at the top for this.

U Americans r jokes

Only in america!! What a rotten place...

I am sad to read this news. The boy is diagnosed with ADHD. I formally work in a home where we treat adults with ADHD but yet we do not call the police when they hit or try to hit us. We put them in a cool-off room to cool off than start counselling and sensory therapy.

I hope the officers were not too traumatized by the danger they faced from this arrest They should have a reward for their bravery beyond the call of duty Put them on Crosswalk detail for life!!!

Are these people for real? What purpose does it surve to put a handcuff on 8 years old Boy? Such a silly act can only happen in a land of unlimited stupidity.

Trump making America great in mysterious ways

Wtfffffff

None of those ties they put on peaceful protesters?

You all should be more concerned with why a 8 year old thinks it is ok to strike a teacher. Kid is growing up in the world the Democrats prepared for him/her/it. Bad parenting makes for bad kids.

AmericaIsRotten

all I can say is..wow.

WRONG!!!! Just WRONG!!!!!

I hit my third grade principal after he threatened to paddle me. No cops were called.

Ridiculous

PIGS

This is sic

Wrong on so many levels.

Shame on the POS police for denying this child's rights. Shame on you!

9 months to dismiss charges

In what world is this possible? How can the age of criminal responsibility be so low as to capture an 8yr old kid, irrespective of his ADHD? Even if a school is daft enough to call police on a naughty 8year old, in what world are police so dumb as to arrest the kid? Only in 🇺🇸

❌❌❌OUTRAGEOUS!!!!! ❌❌❌ And Trump would support these police because that is what he does! reformthepolice JoeBiden realDonaldTrump DonaldTrump POTUS AOC RepAOC KamalaHarris

This breaks my heart. What that child needs is a hug!

2018 really you idiots. I'm sure you can makeup or take out of context some current situation to paint the police in a bad light!

😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️😡😡😡😡😡🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️😡🤦‍♀️😡😡😡😡😡😡🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Becaus an 8yo needs a psychologist, not police! This is why this country is recessing! Instead of curing him we’re arresting him! What do you think this boy will be in the future if he’s experienced hand coughs at age 8! He will no longer be afraid of getting arrested

Why would such a young eight year child be handcuffed by an enforcement officer? The officer could easily carry him to a safe haven for questioning and understanding idschss

They make cuff inserts for small wrists

Why the handcuffs for an 8-years?

US has the most dense police officers

What is wrong with America ... this is what’s wrong

Eight years old? Blame it on the parents. It is an upbringing.

Another inspiring story from the greatest police state... I mean country in the world

Which make me wonder more and more why having a brain is not the first requirement for the job in the US ( and many other places!) . Why would u think cuffing a 8 yrs old is the solution!? 🤯🤯🤯

what happened to the knee on the back of the neck maneuver

An 8 year old in cuffs, are they kidding me? SMH

Maybe they should be more concerned with what’s going on in this child’s home life. An 8 year old CHILD, and he was arrested? Fire the fucking “cop” for abusing his power. This is beyond insane.

The article states it was a sub and the kid had an IEP. She was nagging him about how he was sitting at lunch. I’m guessing she didn’t understand his IEP, and the school is to blame in large part. Given his set of issues, this reaction was almost inevitable.

Seriously? How do you arrest an 8yr old kid? Wouldn't the matter be solved at school? Or we working on the conception of teachers are never wrong!?

CNN u must be so proud of this story !

Training him for jail, as the pig is wont to do.

That’s Ridiculous!! I can’t believe that happened 😳

This America can arrest even a newborn. I don't have any doubt

Called the police like they're afraid for their lives lol. Pathetic. The parents should have been called, not the police.

I hate seeing that video, goes to prove the heartlessness of the u.s.a police force. So disheartening

Whatever happened to calling the parents and having him wait in the principal's office.. this is beyond ridiculous.

I wish I could have been there to make a scene. May the universe shine brightly in the little.boys life. He hits because he has been hit.

Some sort of consolation (however cold) to know that such things do transpire in other parts of the world as well. Does the US have still to go a long way to qualify as a civilised nation ? May be Mr.Trump has a better answer !

Us: 'Why do you feel the need to bully the most vulnerable members of society?' Police: 'Is that a challenge?'

Could they not have handled this differently.

Wow there schools are open !!

The police have time for that nonsense? Nothing better to do?

Was the teacher seriously injured? Isn't the teacher supposed to have a gun to defend themselves with now? When are they going to put saber people in charge of the school system in Florida?

Don’t they teach common sense in police academy........ who phoned the police

Ah well you can’t cater for stupid can you....these police officers probably graduated from trump university

Murugi18 They didn’t need to cuff him, unless they think he could womp their asses. This is why we neee police reform. A counselor would have been a better person to have dealt w/ this rather than a police officer. Community policing helps police too; they aren’t trained for everything.

Only in White Racist America

Use zip-ties.

let’s just be thankful that the kid didn’t get shot by the cop landofthefree

This is disgusting, US calls itself the most developed country and this is how u treat an 8yr old kid. Shame on US. Shame on that teacher and the school for calling the police for a misbehavior of a child. How can u be so insensitive while running an educational institution?

How does this work? An 8 yr old hits a teacher and they charge him with a felony and put him in jail az 8 yts old Sorry but America is really fucked up if this is deemed ok by the system.

That’s absolutely ridiculous. All they gotta do is suspend him from school for 3days or a week.

I hope mommy also talked to him about not hitting someone, but I guess since he was only 8 it is perfectly aokay.

His wrists small Then what hand did he used in hitting the teacher Anyway he need to be locked up

Just because they can't do their job they call the police . wtf is wrong with these people

He's a baby with special needs.. dear God only a baby!!

I would like to see the 8 yr old blonde straw-haired child version where the child gets to turn on the police lights and siren. 🤔

Karens will call the cop on a rat and dog for eating their cake. They traumatized that sick little kid, and messed with his life. What a shame.

Why the hell would the school call the police on an 8 year old child. I feel like hitting the teacher too right now.

Well that won't tramatize the kid much. What were they thinking!

Wtf - teacher / head teacher shouldn't be teaching if this is their response to an 8 year old - ridiculous

What? you mean they didn't taze him?

Handcuffs!!!!!!!!!!!! Police now so afraid for 8 year old kids you have to arrest them and traumatize for life. This should have been handled differently by the school and the cop should have know better.

Pathetic police and school. What kind of adults feel this is a productive way to deal with an 8 year old?

I think the reason the police or resource officer was called was to make a point that actions dont go without consequences. Some parents would prefer this to get that point across because down the road it could lead to this.

Imagine wearing a badge, in the 'home of the brave', and being such a pussy that you have to handcuff a child. Sergeant Pussy

FloridaMan__

Školy maj zavřít. To, co učej je proti přírodě

Why do teachers call the cops on little kids instead of their parents...crazy...

Cops in the US would arrest toddlers for crying too much.

Does it mean you must handcuff a suspect even if you are very sure he can’t run away. Why is the police man trying to handcuff an 8 year old child?

鼓掌!年齡不能成為犯罪的保擭傘!中國大陸应該向其學習!

At least they didn't tase him!

OFFS America, 8 year olds getting arrested. Sack the Teacher for being Pathetically Inept and the Cop for being Dangerously Dumb

This child is very small. Some 8 yo are not. I am a very petite elem. teacher. I have been hit, bitten, kicked, had things thrown at me. I have been shoved against furniture and bruised. These behavior disorders are a crisis. Teachers should not be assaulted at school.

ROBOTS NOT HUMANS

Think outside the box officer 👮

Why?

Why not school can deal with that little Boy rather than cops. Teach and educate him to be a better person in the future.

Isn't this what Vice Principals are for?

Heartbreaking 😭

KWPOLICE officers are as stupid as it can get. Only stupid news come out of that crap hole(FL).

STOP FUCKING ARRESTING BABIES!! WTF!

This is disgusting. My daughter has special needs and I cannot imagine seeing her little self in handcuffs. Shame on everyone involved.

Ha..maybe thats why America is on the human rights list Nr. 38 just 1 above Mexico. Arresting 8 year old kids with Handcuffs..are you mental?

Sooner or later, the USA police will equipped mini size of handcuffs.

Sick

Give the kid the chair😎

USA.

As a teacher I have been hit several times by young students. Love is the key not cuffs.

This is why people hate cops.

wrist wrist wrist wrist wrist wrist 🎶

Sem disciplina ele vira semente do MAL! 😠👊💥😵

Is the problem law enforcement or the politicians who govern their operating procedures?

I am so sick of hearing how absolutely stupid people are in Florida!!! Can we sign a petition to have it removed and float it out to sea?

School has become a hell. Please don't send your children to school. We must catch all the principals of that school!

Foolish. Just foolish.

He had the balls to knuckle up and hit the teacher in the chest ? Wow, and the police officer is blamed Hopefully this lil scare is exactly what this kid needed to scare him straight and detour him from the obvious path he’s headed down. Coddling sure isn’t gonna help

In democracies children aren't arrested.

It's disgusting. The police often make up for an unarmed eight year old boy. We have to fight against the evil police!

This is horrible. Police should immediately get baby handcuffs!

I think if I were that boy’s mom, they’d have to arrest me for 1) beating my child for disrespecting and hitting the teacher and 2) for beating the cop for cuffing and arresting my baby.

Would it be wrong to drop nuclear weapons on Florida?

I can't b the only one shocked the kid is white...

ACAB

What a fucked up place.

The boy is biracial .. I'm thinking racism is also a possible important element... ACAB

So they call the police on a 8 year old and all those thugs calling them self protesting left out there to destroy loot and kill and they are going after an 8 year old 🙄

Shame on you America! 🤢

That 8 yo looks do threatening. I'll bet the cop was fighting for his life. 🤮🤮🤮

All these people that seem to have been there and know every detail. Love it.

Poor child now he is going to have a hell of a trauma. Freaking school, just call mom or dad or any relative, give him a few days suspension or anything. But no, handcuffs... only in America.

OMG..get me out of this country.

He saw something on television, and smack the shit outta somebody, the usual reaction of an unjust juvenile child that didn't know better. He'll understand someday CNN!😆🤣😏💯

Wait until we get an article about the 8 year old resisting arrest... And the people on twitter siding with cops... Then it would be 2020 quality.

This is child abuse. What they are doing to him psychologically will scar this kid for life. And they are okay with it and think this CHILD deserves that? SendInSocialWorkers DefundThePolice

Why should I have any respect anymore for police?

“Officers did nothing wrong” following procedures blah blah. Stinks

Even if this was done to “scare him straight”. All this will do is teach him to be terrified of Police and Authorities.

They should punish the parents. Obviously he has a bad upbringing and parents must have allowed him to misbehave. He probably never got spank in his life. Spare the rod spoil a child.

I thought it was bad when I got put in anger management for telling a white teacher to retire but now they are straight up arresting kids... bravo Americans AmericasGreatestMistake

If my kid hits a teacher they can do that to teach a lesson. Crime don’t pay.

combat training?

“Protect and Serve” my ass I used to believe in the police, now after everything that happened with George Floyd, not so much

you take that kid to the principal's office and call the parents you do not arrest them ...idiots

Only in America

So they can arrest a 8 year old but can’t arrest grown adults for harassing others ? 👀

I, for one, am surprised they don’t have child sized cuffs in the US

Florida & this PoliceOfficer really WTF! KeyWestPolice I don’t support DefundThePolice but I do support firingCops like this, his supervisors & those who train them u have any clue the harm u do 2 children!? DamnYouAll

They probably sold him to a Democrat

Huh While hitting a teacher is not ok, this is NOT how you deal with a child. They don’t understand the concept of arresting. He is a freaking kid.

You’ve got to be kidding. Arrest an 8 year old and try to cuff him? What on earth is this world coming to? Oh wait..FloriDUH!

Oh, that's what they're concerned about? How about the fact that he doesn't even have a plastic butter knife on him for you to cuff him😧

Who would put a child in handcuffs !!!

What wrong with these people? 🤦‍♀️

sooo they arrested, mugshot a 8yrs old and charged him for felony!? am I reading this right?

The police officer was afraid for his life, lol but on a serious note these cops need to be re-evaluated every six months and taught better on how to deal with children also he needs to be fired

This is the plight of the world...and a race...humans have become vile...sick... horrendous beings...is this right? The teacher and this police officer and thd one who gave the order are nothing but deamons...rakshas!!!

this is america

I feel bad for the kid. According to the article, the boy is a special needs kid. His mother filed a lawsuit. She fought for nine months in court until finally they dismissed the charges. He shouldn't be arrested in the first place.

Nobody said that Florida cops have brains !

scared straight, 2020

Cop must be so proud of himself

Why did the teacher even touch him. Little guy felt violated. He has a right to protect himself even at 8 years old. If the teacher had a problem with him they could have called in for help. Talk about mishandling the situation

😱😡

Look kid I don't give a damn about your elderly grandma who babysits you and lives with your aunty with cystic fibrosis you're going back to school.

Stupid! Stop putting cuffs on kids...period!!!

This is criminalizing a young mind and abject failure of a society that does not care about raising a child being a societal responsibility. You, as adults we had the power to deal with the situation so differently.

School is happening?

Is this real life? Ffs Florida!!!

Oh my God

behind every badge is a person who can’t read

Lock them up young, teach them a lesson for life!

I thing all the policemen need some knowledge about them job.

Ah no worries, the other officer had him covered, one wrong move and the kid was for it.

why do you keep reposting this but have ignored this story?

Anybody asked about that kids parents He’s 8 for the love of god

Oyo! Don't they have any regulations for arrest or handcuffs? Such a inappropriate thing to do, and disturbing thing to read.

Appalling!!

WTF is this?

That's the story. Story is why cops a) arrested an 8 year old for that and b) felt they had to to handcuff him?

Is that even legal?

Probably didn't have his mask on

heartbroken

😂...you can't make this ish up. An eight year old. Really? Why call the police and not his Momma n Daddy🤷🏾‍♀️

Yuh..Be honorable and go selling lemon

this country is sick
