00:00
In North Carolina police officer used his knee to pin down a
00:02
seven year old student with autism for more than 30 minutes and
00:06
handcuffed him. The student has spared a teacher while being disciplined
00:11
for tapping his pencil.
00:12
And often said that the student could go to jail.
00:16
apparently the child's mother said her son was completely limp from being
00:21
pinned down and that the trauma from this has truly created PTSD
00:26
like you imagine, brother even more so like you're a kid
00:29
but a kid with disabilities,
00:30
it's like they're more sensitive to things.
00:33
So it's like the trauma,
00:35
you know, and it's crazy because hundreds of students are being
00:38
arrested at elementary schools every year and it's often violent.
00:42
It's never, you know,
00:44
with compassion or like any kind of,
00:45
you know, sensitiveness to this.
00:48
And there are several other cases of Children with autism being pinned
00:51
down and handcuffed and Children with disabilities like autism or A DH
00:56
D are four times more likely to be arrested in school.
01:00
And actually black elementary school students make up almost half of all
01:04
these arrests. Forget this.
01:06
A study shows that police he students of color as a
01:09
threat. Meanwhile, white students are in need of protection.
01:13
I mean, just like that they have like teachers for kids
01:16
with disabilities, there should be special police officers or to,
01:21
I mean, I know like Children and disciplining and everything but
01:27
there should be special police officers for that because I don't think
01:30
they, they require the same discipline.
01:33
You know what I mean?
01:35
like, again, there's like special that teachers and just,
01:37
you know, teachers for just general students and it's just like
01:40
because it's like they understand that there's different,
01:43
you know, learning capacities and the patients,
01:47
the cops that come in,
01:48
they're just cops, like,
01:50
all the student understands.
01:51
Like, no, they don't like,
01:53
yeah. So it's crazy that this is happening.
