US police handcuff five-year-old
A lawyer has threatened to sue police officers who handcuffed an allegedly uncontrollable five-year-old after she acted up at a Florida kindergarten.

The officers were called by the school after a teacher and assistant principal failed to calm down the little girl.

The incident was caught on a video camera which was rolling in the classroom as part of a self-improvement exercise at the St Petersburg school.

A lawyer for the girlīs mother said the episode was "incomprehensible".

The video, made public by the lawyer this week, shows the unfolding of the violent tantrum, which started when the little girl refused to take part in a maths lesson.

She then ripped some papers off a bulletin board and lashed out at staff trying to calm her down.

After calling her mother and learning she would not be able to pick up the child for at least one more hour, the teachers resorted to calling the police.

Three officers rushed to the scene and handcuffed the girl, by that time apparently calm, after pinning her arms behind her back.

The footage showed her in distress after being handcuffed.

They finally drove her to her mother in the back of a police cruiser.

The St Petersburg Police Department declined to comment on the incident and said an investigation was under way.

Pfft, I would have kicked the brats ass then be a īchild beaterī.

The cops acted right, maybe she will now have some respect for the people around her and not act like that.

To add to that comment, I think they should have escorted her to the office lectureing her and took the cuffs off. This alone would be a great punishment.

Re: US police handcuff five-year-old
I saw that clip on the news. What an incredible BRAT! She needed her little ass kicked from one end of the room to the other. She wasnīt already calm when they cuffed her, she was still at it. Her mother ought to be shot just for not humbling herself and apologizing for her kid being so obnoxious. I betcha thereīs no dad in that house. BEsides we teach kids in public schools that they come from animals so they act like that, what else could be expect.whip

Re: US police handcuff five-year-old
It is a sad day in America when you see police handcuffing a little girl who is sitting calmly in a chair, I truly believe if the child had been white instead of black...we would not have seen it. Racial prejudice must be confronted in the police department.

My God people....she was only 5 years old...
5 yr olds throw tantrums, we do not handcuff them for it...for cryin out loud!scratching

Who would have kicked a five year-old child?
Have you all gone mad?
Punishment?
If that is your solution to problems then God help us all and God help You.

Re: US police handcuff five-year-old
it works on animals and it works on children.

abuse is letting children grow up with lack of respect and discipline.

1682, I expect you were abused as child yourself. This is a common cycle and can be broken with the professional you need but that I doubt you can afford.

Re: US police handcuff five-year-old
donīt put words in my mouth, i never said to "abuse" children.

i simply said that giving them a good spanking teaches them the difference between right and wrong.

people approach me all the time and remark that my dogs are some of the best, well mannered animals that they have ever been around. it is because they "learned" at a young age what was acceptable and what was not. they were either punished or rewarded based on their behavior.

children are no different, the sooner they learn their lessons the better off they are.

i had a sister in law that was a major in child psychology and believed that you should never put a hand on a child... until she had children! that "theory" was quickly put to rest when practical application came into play.

so get off your moral high horse, a good spanking is not child abuse, letting them run wild and do as they please will cause them much more harm in the long run.

"with the professional you need but that I doubt you can afford."

nice try. iīm a professional that can afford anything that i need or want due to the fact that i was raised with a few good spankings when necessary.

so bring on some more knee-jerk reactions, itīs either you shouldnīt touch your children at all or you are a child abuser, idiot!

Ummm....I think you need to take a look at what you said...

1682 said..
"no we shouldnīt hand cuff them, we should beat the shit out of them so they donīt do it again."

then 1682 said
"donīt put words in my mouth, i never said to "abuse" children.
i simply said that giving them a good spanking teaches them the difference between right and wrong."


Hmmm......beating the shit out of children must not be abuse....according to 1682

I would hate to think what your definition of abuse is.

You need counseling.

Hereīs Thompsonīs description of they way Indians disciplined their children: "The Natives of all these countries are fond of their children, they have faults like other children but are not corrected by being beat. Contempt and ridicule are the correctives employed, these shame them, without breaking their spirit. And as they are all brought up in the open camp, the other children help with the punishment."

Why not make human-pyramids out of them, put bags on their heads and THEN beat the crap out of them? Sounds about right for these barbarians.
