The family of an 8-year-old boy who was taken into custody at school while having a mental health crisis is suing a Florida city along with the school district and staff, civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump said Tuesday. They also want the police officers involved held accountable.that shows officers trying to put handcuffs on the child at a Key West school in December 2018.
"We're here because some authorities in the school and within the police department in Key West, Florida, felt that it was appropriate to arrest and charge a 8-year-old child who was 64 pounds, 3.5 feet tall with a felony because he was having a mental illness crisis," he said.Private special ed schools can restrain kids with disabilities 1,000s of times. Parents might not know
On the day of the incident, the child was placed with"a substitute teacher who had no awareness or concern about his needs and who escalated the situation by using her hands to forcibly move him," Crump said in his statement. The child has been diagnosed with ADHD, depression, anxiety and severe Oppositional Defiance Disorder , and he has an an individualized education plan in place at the school, Crump said.
He clearly did not want a adult teacher to touch his body, his body should be his right. All learning should be remote. Because all classrooms are toxic environments to learn in. They don't know his life. Period.
WTF.
Florida again the cesspool of America
