[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yikes.  SRO’s are human and make the same mistakes as the rest of us.  This kid must have resisted in every way possible, leaving the officer few options.  But obviously he lost his cool and should know better.  The kid belongs in a locked facility though.[/quote]

They weren't SROs and you're disgusting. Just assuming no cop would ever use excessive force. Kid must have deserved it. Guess you've learned nothing from the videos we've all seen. I wasn't there, so I can't say what happened. But neither are you. At least I have Occam's Razor on my side. [/quote]

By the way-- by Occam's Razor, I mean not just that cops often use excessive force, but even if they do so a minority of the time, there is bodycam footage here to back up the allegations. Yes, it hasn't been to trial, but hard to imagine the kid is kicking and screaming and biting and EVEN IF HE WAS this is the whole freakin problem with police. Mental health professionals and ER staff get spat on, attempted assaults, etc., and somehow a lot fewer of them end up threatening CHILDREN.

You belong in the locked facility you have created for this child. [/quote]

The police should pick up the child and put him in the police car.  That is ok.  Its not ok to be verbally abusive.  Lets see the footage.  That will clear up a lot of problems.  [b]My bigger concern is why did this child walk off school grounds.  Did the child have SN/behavioral/mental health issues or was something more going on at school or home?  Kids don't normally walk out of school except if something is wrong.[/b][/quote]
Or the kid is just 5 and 5 year olds some times do irrational things for reasons neither they nor anyone else can fully comprehend.[/quote]

This is not a normal behavior for a 5 year old.  Something more had to be going on.[/quote]
I think oppositional and defiant behavior among this age group is a lot more common than you thin. I don't condone the behavior,, I just note that this category of behavior is not uncommon for the age and I think that kids trying to leave school is a lot more common than we know. What is uncommon is how the adults reacted.[/quote]

If its true oppositional defiant behavior kid needs mental health treatment.  If its bad behavior, parents need to work with the school and handle it.  This is not normal behavior to elope from school.  Something more was going on.  If the child felt happy and safe they wouldn't run from school.[/quote]
