Cops Go Ballistic On ‘Misbehaving’ Preschooler 4-Year-Old Handcuffed, Shackled, Hauled Off To Sheriff’s Office

Officials at a Virginia school turned an allegedly misbehaving 4-year-old preschooler over to law enforcement, where he was put in handcuffs and shackles and ordered to talk to jail inmates, according to a legal group intervening in the case.
The unnamed student, who was enrolled in the pre-kindergarten program at Nathanael Greene Primary School, in Stanardsville, Virginia, was removed from the classroom Oct. 16 after allegedly “becoming agitated and throwing several items onto the floor.”
“That such extreme restraints would even be contemplated in a case such as this points to a failure by those in leadership to provide the proper guidance to school personnel in what forms of restraint and force are appropriate when dealing with students, especially the youngest and most vulnerable,” said a letter sent this week to school district officials by John Whitehead, president of the Rutherford Institute, which was asked by the mother to intervene.
“It is imperative that Green County Public Schools take steps to assure [the student's mother] and the rest of the community of parents and concerned citizens that what happened to [the student] will not happen again to him or other students of similar age,” Whitehead said.
The letter said policies should make it clear that handcuffing, shackling and other “excessive restraint techniques are never appropriate when dealing with children of tender years.”

those parents need to kick some ass, legally speaking, and sue the pants off that cop.
whaaat, the cops didn’t tase, beat and shoot the child???? they must be slipping! everyone knows how dangerous children can be at that age!
Were the school authorities trying to warn, in Kafka-esque manner, the little monster of his plight in the midst of his antecessors, thereby saving the taxpayer a few million Rothschild-bucks in court and incarceration fees? If so, bravo to them, well done. ‘A’ for effort. The parents, if their are any, should thank them.
Otherwise, since the context is not specified, this article renders itself as mere digital folderol.
I’m surprised the cops didn’t put a few rounds in her forehead.
if the child is not mature enough to handle a classroom situation maybe they should not be in that situation until they are mature enough. How this was handled seems to be over the top.
With a classroom full of students and with the teachers fearing a lawsuit how do you handle the situation and please everyone concerned
