Florida grandmother outraged after 6-year-old arrested for ‘tantrum’

WFLA

ORLANDO, Fla. (CNN/WKMG) — A Florida grandmother was shocked to find out her 6-year-old granddaughter had been arrested Thursday for throwing a tantrum.

Meralyn Kirkland says Kaia’s journey to the juvenile detention center by Orlando Police Officers began at Lucious and Emma Nixon Elementary charter school. 

“What do you mean she was arrested, he said ‘there was an incident and she kicked somebody and she is being charged and she is on her way,’” Kirkland explained.

The disorienting chaos was too much for Kirkland to process.

“She has a medical condition that we are working on getting resolved and he says, ‘what medical condition, she has a sleep disorder, sleep apnea,’ and he says, ‘well I have sleep apnea and I don’t behave like that.”

First grader Kaia was handcuffed and carted off where Kirkland says she was fingerprinted and even had a mug shot taken.

“They told us we had to wait a few minutes because Kaia was being fingerprinted, and when she said finger printed it hit me like a ton of bricks,” Kirkland said. “No six year old child should be able to tell somebody that they had handcuffs on them and they were riding in the back of a police car and taken to a juvenile center to be fingerprinted, mug shot”

Kaia is happy to be back home.

  1. IT ONLY ENDS WHEN WE END IT, SHEEPS AND SHEEPETTES…………..
    HOW MUCH OF YOUR “UNALIENABLE” FREEDOM ARE YOU WILLING TO SHRUG OFF FOR SLAVERY? OR JUST SO YOU CAN “KEEP THE PEACE”?
    WHEN I WAS LITTLE, WE GOT UR ASSES SPANKED FOR TANTRUMS. YES. EVEN IN SCHOOL…………”ARRESTING” A CHILD WILL IN NO WISE CHANGE ITS BEHAVIOR………….OR WILL IT TEACH ANYTHING CONSTRUCTIVE, OUTSIDE OF BEING WARY OF JACK BOOTED THUGS THAT OPENLY CALL THEMSELVES, “LAW ENFORCEMENT”.

    YOUR FAULTY MORALITY IS SHOWING………..
    THERE CAN BE NO PEACE WITHOUT JUSTICE………….
    THERE CAN BE NO JUSTICE WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO PROSECUTE IN YOUR OWN LIVES, OUTSIDE OF THE AUSPICES OF “THE BAR ASSOCIATION”.

  2. “First grader Kaia was handcuffed and carted off where Kirkland says she was fingerprinted and even had a mug shot taken.”

    Merely establishing CLEAR ownership of the child.

    You sheeple just don’t get it, do you.

  3. “Every time you think of calling a kid ‘attention-seeking,’ consider changing it to ‘connection-seeking’ and see how your perspective changes.”
    — Jody Carrington
