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.
