A 6-year-old boy was restrained with metal handcuffs after he was misbehaving. Mom, Lakaisha Reid, said her son Patrick, was handcuffed so tightly that his wrists were bruised. The incident occurred at Pine Ridge Elementary School in Georgia. A school administrator called the parents to the school.
When the parents arrived they said their son was yelling loudly in another room. The school resource officer said the boy was “acting in a disruptive manner and being self-destructive during school.” They said he had been running into walls, banging his head on a table, and running out of the school.
The mom was obviously outraged at the school’s idea of restraint. “They need to have police officers that are trained for special need kids or for any kids that are that age,” she said. “That’s pretty young for handcuffs already, you understand? Anything can happen with those handcuffs on him.”
