I went back and read the story. Looks like this kid is the child from hell! She needed restraint and control, not handcuffs at the age of 5! There is no one on this planet, much less this forum that will convince me otherwise! This is a flaming example of the innmates running the asylum! This child controls everyone around her, and when she loses control, then you call in the cops for a 5 year old! Bring her to me and she'll in in control within 24 hours and the results will last! My son didn't go through his "nutty" period until he was in his teens and I had more control over him then than all of the adults in this story combined.
For those of you that don't think race is a factor, do your homework and come back to me, because the statistics speak for themselves!
Everywhere you look in the media, the major message is that blacks can only be controlled by handcuffs and jails. The disproportionate number of blacks vs. whites in jail right now proves it! So now, the entire country got to see another person of color being controlled by handcuffs. I guarantee you if the child was white, they would've found another way! I lived it with myself and my son, and until you live it yourself, you can only speculate! I hope all three of them get fired for what they did! For those of you that do not have your own children, I can take your opinions respectfully, but you can only speculate as well. No parent wants to see their child at any age in handcuffs on national television, much less their 5 year old.
This crap only happens in America! Schools in other countries have controlled classrooms and that's why they come to this country and blow us out of the water academically. Bad behavior is dealt with swiftly and the classroom remains a learning environment, not a police state. Parents are allowed to discipline their children without fear from the state. The crime rates in other countries are dramatically lower than in the US. That's why I'll be glad when my daughter graduates high school (or hell school)! My grandchildren will NEVER see the inside of a public school! I may home school them myself if I have to! They'll get more out of me than anything these schools can provide. We spend more money on education and these kids just get dumber and dumber! Why is that?
If we got rid of Dr. Spock and the other "professionals" who turned a lot of these kids into monsters in the first place and went back to basics, you wouldn't have situations like this! When I was in school, we didn't have police coming in to control us! Either the teachers or the parents handled it. Parents nowadays are lazy and use the schools as daycare relief for their monsters in training.
What I see in many of today's parents isn't parenting at all! If you don't believe me go shopping and I'll guarantee you'll come across several examples of disrespectful, uncontrolled brats and their so-called parents just allowing it. If one of my kids would treat me that way, they'd be spitting teeth and I don't have a problem going to jail for it! I'm not their friend or buddy, I'm the mama and I demand respect! I love my children and will fight to the death on their behalf, but I don't tolerate disrespect at all! I'm a no nonsense old fashioned kind of mom who could care less if they liked me or not. Parents are afraid of their children and want to befriend them. That's not their job-their job is to raise them! And raising children 'aint for cowards! We need to stop making excuses for poor behavior that usually starts at home and start raising these kids to live in society.
I believe the concept of individualism has gone too far to the left and this is the fallout of it. Out of control serial killers in training and schools with their hands tied unable to do anything about it.
Bring those brats to me and see if I can't get them straightened out!
