[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Among other things, this situation clearly illustrates the need for additional police training, particularly on how to respond to trauma/crisis situations involving children. I agree with PP that “defund the police” is not the correct terminology, the idea of allocating more resources towards mental and emotional health is vital. [/quote]

They need a mobile child unit to help with these things.  This child had a school counselor and others at the school whose job it was to help with the mental and emotional part.  There were several school staff and not one took the time to get down on that child's level, help him calm down with breathing exercises or just calm talking and talk him through what was happening.  School staff was mad, angry and frustrated and gave up.  Mom and the police officers were inappropriate.  None were really abusive in that sense but all crossed the line.  No wonder the kid acts this way.  This is the example he's shown.  Mom was completely flipping off.  Police officers were showing off.  The child didn't resist returning to school when someone took his hand.  He was scared.  What's going on at that school where he keeps eloping and is scared and acting that way?  Is he hungry (mom says he doesn't eat), is he tired, is he struggling with academics because he has a learning disorder, mental health issues....[/quote]

There is a mobile crisis unit at the Crisis Center.  MCPS should have their own for school issues but again, that is what the crisis center is for.  [/quote]
