Guess they could not just send him to the principal's office and bust his butt like in the old days.

This nonsense for arresting little kids has got to stop.
They CUFFED a 10 year old?
Words fail me.
Schools can’t handle situations like this properly.
The new stupid model of putting ‘special needs’ kids into regular classes is a horrendous mistakes. Teachers spend 90% of their time with one kid while the rest suffer.
A child? At the request of a para- professional? A warrant? By a real judge?
We are in trouble as a country.
He is autistic AND 10 years old, for crying out loud, all autistic kids are not that violent, but it happens. An arrest will just make it worse. Ignorant schools, more ignorant law enforcement.
From the article:
John, a student at Okeechobee Achievement Academy in Okeechobee, Florida, was arrested at the school last week for felony battery against a paraprofessional in an October incident, allegedly punching and kicking his paraprofessional, which left scratches and marks, according to an incident report from the Okeechobee County Sheriff’s Office.
The incident occurred after John was being disruptive in class, throwing paper balls around the classroom and hitting other students, the report said. His paraprofessional asked him to go to time out. When John refused, the paraprofessional attempted to remove him, and that’s when John attacked, the report said.
Maybe the kid’s violent assault and battery — hitting other students, punching, kicking, leaving scratches and marks — is what got him into trouble with the law.

Pretty lame. Introduction to reality requires reality to exist ...
You have to start somewhere ...

I got no problem with this what so ever. Future sociopath.
the cops are idiots. It’s no wonder why they don’t know how to handle thugs and street crimes.
“This is so f***ng dumb, mama,” John Benjamin can be heard telling his mother as the officers put cuffs around him.

Does the autism make him speak that way? Did it make him threaten to kill his aide as is alleged?
One of the many problems with public schools is that parents dump mentally ill kids in them like they some sort of psychiatric institution, and state and federal laws force the schools to go out of their way to manage them. It is incredibly difficult and disruptive, and not good for anyone except the parents who get free daycare/healthcare.
WHAT! In one of our county schools, in fact the best public school in our neck of the woods, 5 yudts were arrested for sexual assault,on a student, off campus, and the arrest came about as the story broke at school the day after. The yudts, were taken to another county that has a yudt detention facility (ours does not).A few days later after the furor quieted down they brought the yudts back and put them back in school. One yudt reportedly has a baseball scholarship, that was in danger but now they have dismissed the charges. Whats’ plain is the fact we have to ship our yudts to a facility 2 counties away, yet the county andf city are both helping bankroll a “childrens Museum”....what kind of history do children have? Well, long ago, in 2017 me and my 4 homies had a encounter with a young.....
His warrant was outstanding and still in effect. Sorry you don’t get a pass because you have mental health issues. In reading all of the story it sounds as if the this boy will now get additional help that he needs..
H.O.M.E.S.C.H.O.O.L. - now.
What is it about child abuse that parents don’t understand? What will it take for them to wake up?
When teachers were no longer able to enforce discipline, like paddling, the teachers have to resort to calling the police.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Autistic kids don’t belong in classrooms with “normal” kids. In our day, we had special ed. then the ACLU forced them on “gen pop” classrooms. My son’s public school K class was a disaster with two autistic “spectrum” boys who commanded 90% of the time of the teacher and two aides. And they had no choice...and it’s STUPID. We homeschooled him after that.
But when he [little John Haygood] went back to school for mandatory testing April 12, WPEC said, a school resource officer recognized him and confirmed there was an outstanding warrant for his arrest.
What might a school resource officer be?
A quick google reveals the answer: a pig on school grounds.
We didn't need such when I was in school.
the cops ought to be ashamed of themselves
