The mother of the 10-year-old Black girl who was arrested after drawing a picture in school says her daughter 'was not protected in any instance' [School in ultra blue Honolulu has 10-year-old black girl arrested because she drew a picture]

Taylor said she was kept in a room and denied access to her child - who she thought was in class the entire time - while N.B was being questioned by police and staff about the drawing. An officer told Taylor that her daughter was "treating the situation as a joke," according to the ACLU's letter.

"N.B. made comments to someone in school that she wondered what jail was like. I think the school administrators and the police took that as some sort of sign that she wasn't taking them seriously," Caballero said. "So they decided to arrest her based on, essentially, that comment. While she was put in handcuffs and put in a police car, Ms. Taylor was just in a room not knowing that any of this happened."

The 10-year-old was handcuffed and transported to the Pearl City Police Station.

"When she got to the station and they asked her to take off her earrings and to take off her shoelaces, she had to tell them, 'I don't know how to do that because my mommy does that for me,'" Caballero said. "That's how absurd the situation was."

According to the letter, Taylor wasn't allowed to see her daughter because the school principal said it looked as though she had "fire in her eyes." Taylor said she was calm the entire time and requested mediation, but was denied.

She eventually followed the police to the station and picked up her daughter, who was not charged.

"I was mortified," Taylor said. "She said she cried the entire way to the station. And then she complained that the handcuffs were really tight and very uncomfortable." When the handcuffs were removed, she added, they left marks on her daughter's arms.

Another example of racism against blacks from an area that always votes for the party of slavery

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

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.

Whatever the child did in no way warranted being arrested.

Turn your kids over to public schools at your own risk.

Without a doubt.

My experiences in Hawaii and with most Hawaiians is that they are the most racist people I’ve ever met.

Absolutely horrible culture in a lovely place.

[the_individual2014]

I never dealt with that when I was there, I have heard of white people being disliked by the natives though.

[Rocko Jack]

What did the child do.

[A strike]

“The HPD believes that its officers took action that they believed was reasonable and necessary under the circumstances and given the nature of the threat.”

TOTAL jackboot thug action and bullshiite response by HPD.

[V_TWIN]

“What did the child do.”

From what I can gather from reading the article, the child (along with some other kids) drew a picture of someone that had been bullying her.

Also, the child in question has ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder).

This story is so jacked up I don’t know where to begin.

[Clutch Martin]

“Also, the child in question has ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder).”

Ahhh, say no more... Ritalin and HFC in large percentages over the recommended daily allowance should fixit.

I am so confused with this story.

You’re fine if you’re just a tourist......but I had friends in California who moved there for two years and couldn’t wait to get back in the states...and did. I suspected then that one of the reasons was they weren’t “natives”.

[MayflowerMadam]

We lived in Hawaii for a few years. The whole situation with their opinion of haoles was interesting. We were useful idiots in some ways — did all the hard work to keep tourism strong, and to support their life.

Every day when I drove to work at the oceanside hotels I couldn’t believe how lucky I was to live in such a gorgeous place. I’d go back in a heartbeat.

"The mother “expressed some concern about being African American in an encounter with the police” and was worried about her daughter’s safety “in light of the police presence given the high rate of police violence against Black people, and the discriminatory disciplining of Black girls in schools,” the letter said."

"“The mother and daughter were singled out because of their race, both perceived and treated as ‘more dangerous,’ less rational, and less worthy of respect for their rights than the non-Black students and parents involved,” the ACLU letter said."

Yeah. The author needs to take an introductory writing class.

Police have been arresting children even younger than 10 at school for many years. But, I don't remember a story about police arresting a child for drawing a picture. Does anyone else? I remember stories about children suspended (or expelled, maybe) for drawing pictures. That alone is ridiculous. They've been arrested for fighting, throwing tantrums, or touching a teacher or student. But... arrested for a picture? How bad was this picture?

School today is a different world from when we were growing up, back when teachers could hit you. For the past 20-plus years, teachers haven't been allowed to lay a hand on a student, not even to break up a fight. The schools call police for everything now.

In Kauai back in 2007 I took my family to the Smith Family Garden Luau on the east coast. As part of the performance they rhapsodized about the new “Golden People of Hawai’i” composed of Hawaiian natives and all the Asians in the world and not one mention of any white people at all being part of it.

Me being me I made a snark comment to the speaker that I tip less for white guilt.

[rhoda_penmark]

Well there was that thing where their royalty was overthrown and their country taken over.

[Tired of Taxes]

“The mother and daughter were singled out because of their race, both perceived and treated as ‘more dangerous,’ less rational, and less worthy of respect for their rights than the non-Black students and parents involved,”

"Non-Black" - Were the other students and parents Asian and native Hawaiian, maybe?

I couldn't care less about the race....a 10 year old in handcuffs? Yikes!

I worked in "frontline" medicine for years. I saw many adults (our hospital didn't have a pediatric service) who were in an agitated state put in leather restraints (for their protection and the protection of others)...but this sounds a lot different.

I don't care if the kid drew a picture of her machine gunning everyone on earth...at 10 years old it doesn't warrant handcuffs. A psychiatrist? Yes...but not handcuffs.

[Chainmail]

Ah, Hawaii. I lived there for three years and I always said that it would be a great place if they sank the islands for a few days and then brought them back up again.

My kids had to endure "kill a Haole" and "Sink a Chink" and "attack a Black" days in school and reading wasn't a requirement for graduation from high school.

There are no police departments as corrupt as the HPD.
