A New York mother has been left outraged after her daughter was handcuffed to a chair at her middle school following a fight with another student.
Christine Henson, 46, went to go pick up her daughter Faith, 12, from IS 584 in the South Bronx on November 19.
But when she arrived at the school her daughter was nowhere to be found.
School officials allegedly walked Henson to a room inside the school on Saint Ann's Avenue when she made the horrifying discovery.
The frustrated mother told Daily News: 'My daughter was treated like a criminal. She was really violated. It doesn’t make sense.'
Faith was struggling and panicked while handcuffed to the chair with her arms behind her back, Henson said.
She told her mom she had been in handcuffs for three hours.
The mother recalled: 'I asked the school safety officer, "Why is she in handcuffs? Can you please take those off of her?" [The school safety agent] said "She’s not going anywhere.''
Henson claims she was not given any explanation as to how her daughter ended up in handcuffs. The school safety agent allegedly blocked her from standing near the sixth grader.
The agent reportedly told Henson that police needed to come to unlock the handcuffs.
But when six officer arrived, Henson said the agent was the one who had the key to free her daughter's hands.
A representative from the NYPD told DailyMail.com that she was handcuffed following a fight with another student and started to become 'increasingly agitated.'

We were well-acquainted. And every session led to a much worse one at home.
A story with too little information about how the girl was behaving.
There were some real monsters in my school (the special Ed class) that needed restraints. They were out of control violent beasts at times.
Agreed!

Here’s some info: it’s them again, Yogi.
I agree.
In many ways government schools resemble prisons.
At least in prison they have more free of speech and freedom to freely practice their religion.
Successful adults must unlearn the prision survival social skills that are absolutely necessary to survive K-12 government schooling.
Yea I know proper English I just don’t always feel like using it.
The girls may have really gotten into the fight. Some places you don’t go unless you know how to use your fists.

Whether this girl was victim or perpetrator, one solution is School Choice, so the right students will be paired with the right schools. Victims can go to schools that expel bullies. Bullies can go to schools with enhanced discipline, such as military schools.
She was involved in a fight and probably mouthed off and threatened a teacher
I’m not surprised
Some places need fire hoses...
I had that happen to my daughter too—Right after Combine and people went nuts about copycats. The vice principal said she fit the profile—she ware black (it was a Goth thing) The lady VP said people who wear black worship the Devil. I told her I better wore Fr. Monsieur because he always wore black. I got them to release her-—but she never apologized. I pullrf hrt from that school.
Thank you.
...and ebonics is given a pass every day...
Soooooo obnoxious.
I met the board in 8th grade.
I read your comment before I read the source of the article. I was just guessing Daily Mail, and sure enough…
I am also fed up with their misleading headlines, clickbait, etc.
