ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (April 23) - An attorney says he plans legal action against police officers who handcuffed an unruly 5-year-old girl after she acted up in her kindergarten class.
A video camera, which was rolling March 14 as part of a classroom self-improvement exercise, captured images of the girl tearing papers off a bulletin board, climbing on a table and punching an assistant principal before police were called to Fairmount Park Elementary. Then it shows the child appearing to calm down before three officers approach, pin her arms behind her back and put on handcuffs as she screams, "No!'' Largo lawyer John Trevena, who provided the tape to the media this week after obtaining it from police, says the officers went too far. "The image itself will be seared into people's minds when you have three police officers bending a child over a table and forcibly handcuffing her,'' said Trevena, who represents the girl's mother, Inga Akins. "It's incomprehensible ... There was no need for that,'' he added. ABC News The tape shows the girl lashing out at a school employee. Police declined to comment, citing an official complaint by Akins that has sparked an investigation by the supervisor of the four officers who were present. Two are new officers who were being trained that day. Spokesman Bill Proffitt said the investigation would be complete in about two weeks and the findings would be made public. The 30-minute tape shows assistant principal Nicole Dibenedetto trying repeatedly to calm down the girl, who ignores her commands and begins punching her. The child's mother was called but wasn't able to immediately come to the school. After being placed in the back of a police cruiser, police released the girl to her mother after prosecutors informed them they wouldn't bring charges against a 5-year-old. 04-23-05 15:05 EDT So what do you guys think? Should this girl have been arrested. |

I was handcuffed once for saying "well I guess I won't live anymore" to my boyfriend regarding some big family drama in a cops presence. They said it was because I made a threat to myself. I'm like whatever, if I go back in the house, I'll be locked up, it'll be like living, but they went thru all this bs to make sure I wasn't suicidal. Point is? Cops really overreact. They had no reason to cuff that little girl. Pick her ass up around the waist, sit her ass down, and talk to her. But u don't hancuff her. that shit is soooo pain ful. They turn your wrists out in a way that hurts really bad so u cant fight back. not cool. They should be taken to court for assult.
