CNN)When John Haygood, a 10-year-old boy with autism, was arrested last week at a school in Florida, he kept repeating that he didn't know what was happening, as seen in shaky cellphone video taken by his mother. "I don't know what's going on. I don't understand," he cried out. In the video, his hands are cuffed as two officers escort him to the back seat of a police car. His mother, Luanne Haygood, followed behind them while recording the incident on her phone. In the video, John appears distraught, and yells some profanities.

Luanne is heard in the video speaking to the officers, "Excuse me, do you have any paperwork or anything you can say to me?"

"E doesn’t “become” MC^2."

I think you failed to catch my connotation. For those who have examined Albert Einstein, many have concluded that he was autistic. His autism was his special gift that was able to fathom the mathematics of relativity. With it he was able to conclude that E = MC^2. So, when I said, "E became MC^2," it was Einstein's special gift of genius that made it so.

Look dude, you, as his teacher may be the one bright spot in his day. Throwing him out of class is WRONG. He is already in a living hell at home with meth, alcohol, stupidity. The buck stops with you.

So then suspend the brat or put him in detention! No need to get the cops involved! I mean how do you charge a 10 year old with a felony?

In my day kids did worse and they never involved Law Enforcement!
