A mum, Sande Bard-Butler, took to her Facebook page to express her rage after her 7-year-old son, Allen, who has autism and a traumatic brain injury, was handcuffed by a school resource officer at his Elementary School in Florida. He subsequently tried to get him admitted at a mental health hospital.
His mum told 10News WTSP, “Allen can get triggered and upset and be very aggressive, but if you handle it in the right way, it can be de-escalated very quickly. They put him on his stomach on the floor and put handcuffs behind his back. I’m frustrated, and angry, very angry.”

She has reportedly hired an attorney and plans to sue.
This is so wrong, how bad was the kicking that he has to be handcuffed? The school authority and the officer that handcuffed a 7 year old should be questioned.

Hmmmm, I won’t train my child to be stubborn in the first place. That s so irresponsible of the mum. All these oyibo spoilt rotten children with poor home training. Why should a child kick his teacher, that’s very rude. Serves him right, it’s part of the training his parents couldn’t offer. Rubbish
