[quote=Anonymous][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]

Ramona Quimby did this. GMAFB

Sure most kids won't. But it's not some extreme unheard-of thing-- at least not an attempt. Maybe more things were going on, maybe it was a one-off. Regardless-- and I think you can agree-- the police officers were NOT-- according to the info we have-- reacting in any kind of normal way. A police officer who was caught off-guard and angry and just kicked in the nuts might be excused for uttering a curse word. But berating a 5 year old for almost an hour? [/quote]

Kids who elope have more going on.  None of the situation makes sense as they should have returned the child to school and left or returned the child to the parent.  I'd like to see the footage.  If its true, they should be terminated but the school also needs an audit too as they don't have enough safety procedures in place for this to happen.[/quote]

The school has known about this for a year. If it hadn't implemented more stop gaps I'd be surprised-- and upset. As an ESS parent I've never heard of anything like this happening. That doesn't mean it hasn't, but it's a small school and word gets around. That said, I want answers too! I just think there's a range of possibilities here when it comes to what school employees actually did or didn't do-- in a way that doesn't seem true of the cops, who seem at least 80% likely to have been way out of line.[/quote]
