8-Year-Old Girl Handcuffed & Held By Police For Throwing A Tantrum
AFRICANGLOBE – Apparently throwing a tantrum at the tender age of eight can get you almost thrown in jail, thats is if you are a Black 8-year-old girl.
St. Louis’ KMOV reports an elementary school student Jmyha Rickman, 8, was handcuffed by her wrists and feet and was taken to the police station after throwing a tantrum in school.
Grown ass adults cannot help an 8 year old SPECIAL NEEDS child, without having to HANDCUFFING her? Your 21st century teachers and police hard at work.
Hmmm… Apparently Jmyha uncle Nehemiah Keeton said she has been restrained before, ‘HELD HER DOWN.’
QUESTIONS
Should teachers be emotionally, physically, and educationally equipped to serve with special needs kids?
Is it ever appropriate to handcuff a child for throwing a tantrum?
What role does the parents play in helping the child?
Should Jmyha be placed on meds to help control her outbursts?
Does the treatment of Jmyha warrant further investigation and a lawsuit for what appears to excessive force and abuse of an 8 year old child?
What happen to calling the parent and an ambulance. Are they so afraid of our children. The seed of distructions are plentiful.
she’s 8 fucking years old.
I remember being 8.
W-T-F were they doing putting HANDCUFFS ON A CHILD!!!
Handcuffed an 8 year old baby? You’ve got to be kidding me? These grown ass people need a swift kick in their natural ass.
Yes; gunning down & mudering 6-7 year old kids in school and now handcuffing. Of course this is the game for our black kids. not school for you; it’s off to prison for you boys and girls! DESPICABLE!
the END times…
Truely!
