[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You could write the whole history of the racist construction of “childhood” and who is entitled to have one by reference to this thread.[/quote]

do you know the race of the officers?[/quote]

It's irrelevant. The thread is the story. [/quote]

well it is relevant. if it was black officers mistreating a black child, that changes the narrative. [/quote]

It doesn't change the way this kid has been adultified in this thread. That's happening because he is assumed to be black, not because of anyone's particular belief about the race of the police. [/quote]

An fing 5 year old. Some of the posters here are absolutely vile.[/quote]

Also need to be careful not to infantilize a child. I’m not saying threatening children is ever appropriate, but there is a realm of acceptable and unacceptable behavior from a child.[/quote]

Oh, totally right. Let's not treat the 5-year-old like a child... an entire 1-2 years younger!

I'm sorry-- I'm being too glib. Let me know where you saw people saying that a typical 5 year old should leave school, should be expected to leave school, can't understand that they're not supposed to leave school, etc. Show me where people said the 5 year old's behavior was "acceptable."[/quote]
