Shocking video shows boy, 8, with special needs being HANDCUFFED at his elementary school
Shocking video shows boy, 8, with special needs being HANDCUFFED at his elementary school while officers tell him 'you're going to jail' after he punched a teacher in the chest - as lawyer accuses cops of using 'scare straight' tactics
In this case the boy wasn't sent to an adult prison, but cops attempted to place him in cuffs and told him he's going to jail.
It’s not immediately clear if the resurfaced video is in a civil case against the Key West Police Department.
One officer behind the camera says, 'You’re going to jail. So you need to stand up and put your hands behind your back.'
An officer then frisks the child as he puts his hands on a cabinet and is then placed in handcuffs, but they're too large and don't fit.
The little boy looks down and complies with the officers and whimpers and cries as he's asked to walk out of the school.
----------
A teacher is seen coming to the boy and comforting him before he's escorted out of the school.
'You understand this is very serious okay and I hate that you put me in this position and I have to do this. The thing about it is that you made a mistake and you have to learn from it and grow from it and not repeat the same mistake again,' an officer sternly tells the boy as he nods.
The clip ends with officers escorting the child towards a squad car.
The boy was then booked into a juvenile justice facility in Key West.
The status of the case is not immediately known.
According to the arrest report the boy’s teacher said the child was not sitting properly in his cafeteria bench seat.
The teacher asked him several times to sit down but he didn’t comply and she asked him to sit next to her.
He refused and told her, 'Don’t put your hands on me.'
She then told the boy to walk with her and he told her, 'My mom is going to beat you’re a**' and punched her with his right hand.
