ORLANDO, Fla. — A Florida grandmother is upset after her 6-year-old granddaughter was handcuffed and arrested for throwing some sort of tantrum.
WKMG-TV reports Meralyn Kirkland got a call Thursday that a school resource officer at Lucious and Emma Nixon Academy arrested 6-year-old Kaia Rolle.
The grandmother said Rolle was acting out in class due to a side effect of a lack of sleep from a medical condition. After being sent to the office, Kirkland claims a staff member grabbed the girl’s wrists to calm her down — and that’s when she lashed out.
“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,'” Kirkland told WKMG.

Rolle was taken to a juvenile center on a battery charge.
The Orlando Police Department told the station Rolle was one of two children Officer Dennis Turner arrested that day; the other was 8-years-old. Turner reportedly didn’t seek approval from his watch commander before arresting anyone under the age of 12, per department policy.
Police say an internal investigation into the incident is ongoing.

"The grandmother said Rolle was acting out in class due to a side effect of a lack of sleep from a medical condition."
What does the mother say? The father? I wonder if the 6-year-old is getting is getting disability for her "medical condition"? Probably.

These children are dangerous.
The police agent (resource officer) should have just shot them both, to make sure they didn't start a school shooting. You can't be too safe.

Attaboy …Your immature comment shows that you have been developmentally delayed in the rational management of your emotional responsive thought process.
It is positive proof that someone can reach chronological adulthood without having mastered the core elements required of any adult emotional functioning.
Salute,
Gatlin
