5-year-old boy handcuffed, taken to psych ward for misbehaving

Story here. Excerpt:

'A 5-year-old boy was handcuffed and hauled off to a psych ward for misbehaving in kindergarten - but the tot's parents say NYPD school safety agents are the ones who need their heads examined.

His mom and a school source said Dennis threw a tantrum inside the Ridgewood school at 11 a.m. on Jan. 17.

Dennis was taken to the principal's office, where he apparently knocked items off a desk.

Rather than calling the boy's parents, a school safety agent cuffed the boy's small hands behind his back using metal restraints, the school source said."

When baby-sitter Sandy Ortiz arrived, Dennis was still handcuffed, she said. School safety agents also were holding his elbows even though the boy was calm, Ortiz said. Dennis is about 4-feet-3 and weighs 68 pounds.

"I hugged him. I said, 'OK, release the cuffs, I'm taking him,'" she recalled. "They told me, 'No, Miss. You're not taking him anywhere.'

The Age of Adult man/childs...treating these 5 year olds as peer adults, and cuffing them.

It definitely seems like this was little more than an excuse for child molestors to get "hands on" to fix the situation. How sick. I hope the mom sues and the principal and everyone involved get fired. How retarded does a person have to be to think that traumatizing a young child would make him behave? Now the poor kid's traumatized. Good job, idiots!
