A 7-year-old boy was led out of a Miami-Dade Police car's backseat on Friday afternoon in metal handcuffs -- while his mother videotaped and comforted him from just a few feet away.
The video captures the boy -- his hands cuffed behind his back -- stepping out of a patrol and guided into the Miami Children's Hospital by a female uniformed police officer.
"It's okay, my love," the boy's mother says in Spanish.
His father, Rolando Fuentes, saw the video once -- and can't bring himself to watch it again.
"I saw it once but I cannot see it anymore," he said.
His son, whom ABC News is not naming because of his age, was at his elementary school and with fellow students during a mealtime in the cafeteria on Friday. According to an incident report prepared by Miami-Dade School's Police, Fuentes' son misbehaved after a teacher told him "not to play with his food."(snip)
The boy then allegedly "attacked the teacher," the report says, "by repeatedly punching her on the back, in the hallway" while she attempted to inform another teacher of the boy's unwillingness to heed her warning.
The teacher was able to restrain the boy from further accosting her but, the report suggests, the boy "continued to fight her with his fists and legs" and the tussling forced both the teacher and the boy "to fall to the ground."
The report states that even on the ground the boy didn't stop.
He allegedly "continued to fight the teacher, grabbing her hair and pulling it towards him," according to the report.
Then, the report adds, the boy was finally restrained "where he was not able to move" and sent to the principal's office.

Seems appropriate to me.
Mental disorder?
Sounds like a bad case of BRAT. He better get used to the cuffs ... I see them featuring prominently in his future. I’m curious as to his and his parents’ citizenship and immigration status.
I would’ve hogtied him with duct tape!
Something is going on in his home life if he reacts like this to discipline in school.
They don’t do this to black kids, do they? (Referencing the Obama admin directives to apportion discipline by race rather than behavior).
“It’s okay, my love,” the boy’s mother says in Spanish.
...
Spanish.

You know or should know what their status is, considering mom has to reassure her son - in Spanish not in English!
Mental disorder?
First, if you watch the video....there’s no way that this kid is 7 years old. He’s at least nine or ten. So I think he’s got an age issue.
Second, the minute that a teacher or school authority directs you to do something or stop bad behavior, and you don’t seem to be able to take orders, and continue physical violence, then the cuffs are legit.
If I were the school, I’d have a meeting with the parents and demand the kid attend anger management classes prior to be allowed back into the school (figure a 7-day suspension minimum in this case).
If the parents try to move the kid to another school....it’ll just repeat itself again.
I don't know. I do strongly suspect ...

No No No... You got it all wrong. Obviously this child is the victim of the patriarchy and white privilege. He was just defending himself from the rank racism of the European colonizers that stole this land from his people and forced them to learn their filthy English language. This outrage calls for a "righteous protest" where streets will be trashed and the property of the oppressors will be burned to the ground. Only then will justice be served. Viva LaRaza!
what the hell is the matter with this kid???
“I would’ve hogtied him with duct tape!”
I was gonna say...sounds like they should’ve been using leg irons in addition to the cuffs.
Was working in a house recently with two boys age 8 and 9.
The language coming out of their mouths was astounding. Not just profanity but unbelievable obscenities. And I’ve heard everything in my life.
They’ll be putting the cuffs on those two also once they get older and start on the drugs and become mobile with automobiles.
The mother (single mom) just made excuses for them. Talk about throwaway kids. The father nowhere to be found of course.
