[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd like to see the body cam as you are just getting the parents side who was not there.  That kid needs a SN child care setting if they are eloping.  There is far more to this story.[/quote]

A 5 year old taking off—especially if his house is near school—is not so far outside the norm that it suggests “special
needs.” This does raise the question of how he was supervised when he took off, though.

At any rate, needing a special needs child care setting does not mean the cops get to talk about beating you incessantly.[/quote]

My kids went to an elementary school in Bethesda - it would have been not too difficult for a child to run off during recess, or on the walk to/from the bathroom out a side door (especially since portable classrooms were in use). Many young children are impulsive. The fact that a 5 year old child left school grounds isn’t a sign he has special needs nor necessarily that the school was neglectful - there are gaps when this could happen even in a typically careful school.

And even if there is “another side” to this story, it is outrageous that a 5 year old was told he could be beaten and that he was handcuffed as a scare tactic. Outrageous. This is the very opposite of “community policing,” and would have made me terrified of and not trusting in the police. Does it merit a lawsuit- I can’t answer that, but the fact that there is a lawsuit hopefully means police are going to be better trained in the area of dealing with kids. [/quote]
