...what a combination of dick heads.

Bodycam footage shows heartbreaking arrest of sobbing 6-year-old girl at Florida school: ‘Please let me go!’

Newly released body camera footage shows the moment a school resource officer arrests a sobbing 6-year-old girl in Orlando, Florida.

Turner arrested the child at the school after staff said she had a temper tantrum in the classroom.

According to the child's grandmother, Kaia was acting out in class due to a medical condition, so the teacher sent her to the office for discipline.

When Kaia arrived at the principal's office, assistant principal Beverly Stoute reportedly grabbed the child's wrists in order to calm Kaia down. Kaia reportedly kicked at Stoute when Stoute attempted to restrain the child. Stoute called the school's resource officer over the incident and reportedly said that she wanted to press charges against the child.

A short time later, Turner and an Orlando Police Department transport officer arrived at the office to take Kaia into custody. Turner then restrained Kaia with zip ties and took her for processing.

Authorities previously denied a public records request, but the family's attorney was able to obtain the video and release it for the public to see.

Your headline should read- Grandparents and Parents raise a spoiled and entitled little $hit.

Let me guess, black kid???

No one read the article? OP didnt copy and paste the whole thing.

Officer was fired for violating dept policy. No kids under 12 without Supervisor approval. Apparently earlier in the day he had done the same thing to another 6 year old and was stopped. Guess he decided he didn't like dept. policy.

Unfortunate for sure. Sounds like a kid with that condition may have been in the wrong type of school,but at 6, it was probably early on in the process before she would be moved to some kind of special needs or alternative school.

If it was a medical condition, why would she be sent to the office for discipline? What good would that do?

In my experience, you never see resource officers at the elementary level, I'm assuming he was called in from a local middle or high school. Could they not get in touch with the parents or guardians instead to come deal with it? I give no apologies for the kids actions but it sounds like the AP escalated things because she wanted to press charges because of a kick.

The real point of the story is FUGGED up parents send FUGGED up kids to school where teachers and administration have deal with them. It is a no win situation fo school staff.

In the first place, my kids never would have behaved in such a manner, but if they had, they would have been begging the cops to keep them a few more days so as to delay the ass whipping when they got home.

Hell, even my dogs, horses, and cows are better trained than that. Medical condition my ass. Lack of discipline, pure and simple. That little six year old still thinks she is the Alpha dog.

Awwwe, bless her heart, maybe she is on the spectrum.

Just misunderstood.

The spectrum does exist. Kids can be all over the place. I hope your grandkids or whatever never have autism. Its not something to take lightly. We dont know the situation at the girls house...the whole lack of discipline...may be case, it may be not. My best friend has a daughter that is extremely smart but will go crazy at the drop of a hat. Another can kid can touch a pencil on her desk and thats it. Whippings/spankings, time outs, nothing works. Medicine is helping some...its a sad situation. She has recently pulled all of her eyebrows out just from anxiety, etc. Sad to see a 11yo go through this. My buddy and his wife are at whits end. Their other daughter is perfectly normal.

My daughter is a kindergarten teacher and has had kids cuss her, scream at her, and even attack her. One bit her a few years ago, and when she carried the kid to the office, they suspended the kid for attacking the teacher. The parent went nuts and wanted the kid put back in school saying it was not the kids fault! It left teeth marks and a big black and blue spot on her arm for a few weeks.
Never anything wrong with the kids, it is always somebody else fault, BS, if the kid had stabbed her with scissors, she would have been just as stabbed, kids fault or not, on the spectrum, or not.
I know there are kids with problems, but we can not put them is special classes where they can get the extra help they need. No we have to put them in the regular classes where they can disrupt it and take extra care so that the teachers do not have time to teach the rest of the kids. We have to put them in the regular classes because "there is nothing wrong with MY Child" parents, until something happens and then, it is "well it's not the child's fault, it is his med's are not right".
Which is it, YOUR child has a problem, or he does not, pick one because you can't have it both ways.

FFS, the kid was 6. If a teacher and an administrator can't handle a 6 year old without a cop, they need to find other jobs.

They have to put them in regular classes because a lot of these kids get put on 504 plans and then the school's hands are tied.

This.

The situation got out of had because the AP acted like a child.

In addition to the Cop, the AP should be fired.

Man I get it, but these days a teacher or admin touches a kid wrong and you lose your job over it, lose your retirement/pension, etc. Lose everything you've worked for. AP showed their butt but wanting charges filed against a 6yo...that childish in itself

Pullit for the win.


No Child Left behind means exactly that.

There is a fleet of minivans that haul problem kids to the local
schools. One kid per van, mandated.

A contracted "educator" on the grounds gets paid to deal with them
in a very low student/teacher ratio. Special cafeteria.

One example is the girl who ambushed a friends 7th grade daughter
in the bathroom. Slammed her head into the wall. A concussion
missed a few days school, a good week until she felt right.
Cops, the whole deal. Kids still in school, getting the executive VIP package.
(County of under 50k, 98% white. Not considered a rough place here)

Then there are those who are in the standard classrooms.
They may have an adult assigned to them on a one/one basis.
This person goes everywhere that kid goes. Ready to swoop in
for whatever need they have.

My daughter's, in 'accelerated" classes ride the Cheese Wagon.
And sit in advanced math classes, chemistry... largly self taught with an IPad.

Nothing's wrong here!

100%

The fact that the AP couldn’t handle a 6 year old stands alone and should be dealt with as such. That has ‘zero’ to do with a schitt call on the part of the SRO.
‘I want that child arrested/charged!”
No and maybe...........but it’ll be done after the fact.
“I want that child removed from this school”
Cool.........call mom/dad and have them slide on down here. Oh, you don’t want to deal with mom. Outstanding, figure it out because she’s not going with us.

From what I've seen goofy and grotesque things like cops putting 6 year olds under arrest happen when the responsible adults are not allowed to be adults. The State, once let in, demands to be the only grown up in the room and all the real people are required, by law, to be morons.

If the police need to be called to deal with a 6 year old (outside of truly abhorrent exceptions), should the adults calling be referred to as ‘responsible’?

Folks do not want the cops involved.

Please suggestions: Just what is a teacher to do when some feral child interrupts the learning experience of the entire classroom. And what is the teacher/administrator supposed to do when said feral child physically attacks them.

Sure, the child is actually harmless enough today. But in four, or six, or eight years that child will no longer be harmless. And our school personnel have better things to do with their time than trying to tame wild animals.

Hell, let's build a set of padded cells in each school. We can just toss the little beasts into the cell as they get off the bus and release them to go home at quitting time. At least then the educators can get back to the job they are supposed to be doing.

Both the kid and the cop were black.

"...responsible adults are not allowed to be adults."

Well put and sadly true.

Im sympathetic time the kid, hence “bless her heart”

And maybe she IS ON the spectrum, I was giving that to her

I hope your grandkids don’t ever jump to conclusions and attempt to determine the tone of a conversion via written word.


You assumed sarcasm on my part.

Thanks for your concern

Didn't need much inflection in your post to see where you were headed with it

This ^^^^^^^^^^^^ along with all their blanket Zero tolerance policies..................completely out of control idiots running schools.

MM

Would this child be better educated in a homeschooled environment by her parents?

Teacher most likely did the right thing. Kid is disrupting the learning environment for all, if can't be quickly dealt with, remove them.

Admin's dropped the ball. Grabbing the kids wrists to restrain them. Big mistake, with kids like this that escalates it, so then what? You can't escalate further and smack the kid or anything else. Having the kid arrested was wrong, suspended, call parents, whatever, sure, but arrested?

Excellent post.

Give her another cookie and she goodt.

Ignorant statement of the year. You shouldn't speak to what you don't know. The statement above proves you don't know.

Naw, I think your post captured the most “ignorant Statement if The Year”.

They should have beat hell out of the kid!!! Not really, but why not call parents, get them up there. How about a padded time out room??

Probably, but they probably can't tie their own shoes.

I’m wondering if we’re getting the whole story here.

I’d have to go through the legalisms involved in turning a psychotic 6yo over to Law Enforcement, whether that is legally an “arrest” (did they Mirandize her too?) and does the Cop have any options other than cuffs to safely restrain that kid.

When all you have is a hammer even harmless 6 year olds look like nail.

What a bunch of maroons and I ain’t talking about the 6 year old. Kids get out of line sometimes and those that suffer from certain afflictions are more prone to outbursts than others.

They should be ashamed of themselves and their career path should be reconsidered.

You've got two people trying to abide by School Board Policy, no doubt, lest one get fired and the other, hired outside, fired, reprimanded or sent to the Ghetto for not doing so. No doubt they are not experts in Special Ed law which many times runs counter to Board Policy. Regardless of FEDERAL Special Ed law, you've got the safety of other kids AND employees to think about and I have been and done when it comes to restraining violent kids. I've been attacked by kids, large and small and the small ones can act just like a Honey Badger or the like.

I'm not taking up for either of them, but I was just in an EXTENSIVE discussion about this very thing (not this exact situation, but I'd already read about it too), last night. The main story-teller was an ex-Principal who got into several of these situations and became jaded with the whole system.

I've been on both sides of the coin, regular and spec ed. It boils down to the same thing as government. Protect the group or the individual? This nation was founded on protecting individual rights and when you get into this stuff, it gets difficult to serve everybody involved. The LE no doubt has a completely different perspective, unless he's very salty. So you bring at least three perspectives into the mix...LE, School Board and the Asst. Principal who is probably just trying to keep a lid on things with parents, kids, teachers, the board, his supervisors, etc. all on his ass.

And I repeat, until you've been attacked by a child that is...nuts, then you probably shouldn't judge too harshly. I've bled before.

I don't know slum, don't know if the kid has autism or not, but when the spectrum is brought up...you are talking about autism. When the grandparent mentioned medical conditon, its probably safe to say is autism or tourettes, you'd think the school would have been told about it when the child was enrolled and responded accordingly instead of the silly AP wanting to press charges on a 6yo.

Probably better off at school assuming it is a decent school system. Also, probably the only break the parents get. I imagine dealing with a autistic child 24/7 can be really taxing...and I'm sure its on their mind while at work. I have no idea of their situation.

In my profession, I've seen it all, the worst of the worst in sped/autism cases. I've seen kids that literally sat in a chair and drooled all day. I've seen padded rooms, I've seen sped teachers have to bearhug kids and rock them back and forth "sshh" in their ears just to get them to calm down. I've seen them spit on teachers, throw objects, certainly verbal abuse. Different forms of discipline may work for a short time. Certainly spanking or a good beating should be a nono for a child with autism. These children minds are simply wired wrong and it sad to see. I am so thankful that I have two healthy sons.

Best statement on the thread thus far.

Admin called the Cops because IF the child had been bruised or in any way marked when the admin was trying to restrain the child a lawsuit would have been the result.. Admin called the cops because they are "trained in restraint.'

Miranda rights are only required prior to asking incriminating questions, when a person is not free to leave. Ie a custodial interview.

When I took Ed Psych, they called it torpedoing as in "Blow the kid out of the watet".

So, is it legal and permissible to just throw a glass of ice water in the face of tantrum throwing Elementary student?

It sure worked on my younger brother and sister. Cured them Right Now.

Crazy how that works.

Steve4102 & Dillonbuck: Indeed the extremes that schools are forced to go to "accommodate" all students has gotten ridiculous and ridiculously EXPENSIVE these days!
Case in point going on RIGHT NOW in our counties only middle school.
Spoiled boy child died his hair (not colored, DYED!) a neon color!
This is clearly against the code of conduct that was explained to every student and every parent BEFORE they were allowed to attend the school.
This explanation included giving the parents and the child a small handbook explaining ALL the rules of conduct and it was written clearly in the handbook that no child would be allowed to attend class with hair that was NOT a natural color!
Said student and "parents" were required to sign a statement of understanding AND intent to comply under threat of discipline/expulsion!
Said neon haired idiot showed up for school mid-year and was sent to the principals office.
Not allowed to attend class the mother and "father-figure" of the neon haired nitwit threatened lawsuits!
Child was expelled from school when he refused to "de-neon" his head of hair!
Child was re-admitted to school under threat/action in court?
School was forced under some private temporary decision to provide a CLASSROOM free of other students and a single teacher to "teach" said single neon haired child until said civil actions are decided!
The defiant neon haired child is NOT allowed to intermingle with other students and relief for the "lone teacher" is another expense the school must "absorb".
Last I heard the student/parent handbook is being more clearly written to prevent neon haired "rascals" from attending said school.
Said extra expenses are shared by the 9,100 residents of this county!
Not saying this is/was the correct way of handling a disruptive student in this instance just sharing the fear amongst teachers and school administrators!
Up to me I would have given the neon haired troublemaker a swift kick in his ass as I threw him out the front door of the school!
That little [bleep] is headed for "serious" problems down the road - mark my words on that!
As is the tiny negress in the OP's instance.
And this - when "I" was the pohlice BY LAW children UNDER the age of 8 (eight!) were (by the aforementioned law!) INCAPABLE of committing a crime!
Children under the age of 10 (ten) and aged 8 (eight) or over were PRESUMED (by law!) incapable of committing a crime!
Children 10 (ten) years of age and over were PRESUMED (by law!) capable of committing a crime.
But COULD be proven incapable of committing a crime!
The six year old girl could be treated for troublesome behavior but her being prosecuted criminally for assault is certainly nil!
Civilly her parents (welfare bitch and some unknown sperm donor?) could POSSIBLY be held accountable!
I say bring back the spanking paddle - but again I do not advocate paddling a six year old - eight, nine or ten - for sure.
Hold into the wind

After quite a few years in public schools i moved on to work in higher education, so my most recent experience teaching in a public school was 1970. It was an excellent high school and school district, and there is no way that any of the teachers/leaders/parents in any school district in that entire area would have put up with the bad educator behavior exhibited in this case. Too many stupid moves to describe them all - and all involved in the stupidity should be ashamed

nuthin that 20 yrs of hard labor can't fix
