schools dont do anything about bullying but they find the need to arrest a 6 year old? yikes.

Let's get this straight. The school called the police to arrest a 6 year old because she had a tantrum. If you can't handle a kid having a tantrum well then maybe working in a primary school isn't the best job for you.

racism isn't getting worse, its getting filmed

I feel bad for the 6 year old kid imagine that trauma I hope she's okay

If you can't handle a 5 year old, I'm sorry you shouldn't be working at a school.

"What you in for?" "For throwing a tantrum as a 6 year old"

I got suspended for being 15 minutes late to school and not having on the uniform shirt. What actually happened was I missed my school bus and had to run to metro bus (public transportation) stop in order to even make it there. If I had not I would have been more than an hour late by time the next bus came. It was hot that day so I took off the thick school polo until I got to campus and stop being sweaty. As soon as I walked into building they rounded up everyone that was late that day because a lot of people were still in halls after first period bell. They decided to make an example out of everyone to warn the other students. I never had been in any trouble ever at school and had good grades. I was in the biotech special classes called (IB) and wanted to attend an Ivy League. I cried and beg them not to suspend me because a suspension would look bad for colleges. They turned my original 1 day into a week for “theatrics”/“causing a scene”. After that I stop caring as much about school. I felt like my chances of getting into a top school were ruined. I did end up going to college finally though but at 23 after years of being talked down to by people not smarter than me while working minimal wage jobs. I graduated with a 3.73 gpa in biological engineering. But I always wonder what would have happened had I just made that bus that day. How much further along in life I could have been. I’m definitely not blameless in how I handled the situation after but at 15 my thought processes weren’t perfect, one bad moment felt like my life was over at the time.

"Talking back" Oh sorry teacher, did I hurt your feeling for saying something that's clearly right?

In America instead of talking to kid's parents, they calls Cops and gets kid arrested.

There is literally nothing a 5-year-old is physically able to do that warrants handcuffing them and throwing them in a police car

Imagine being a child in Kindergarten, and see one of your classmates be arrested, in class, for just have a meltdown.

I am a kindergarten teacher and I have been for the last 6 years and I work with ages from 1 to 6. I have been punched kicked pinched and screamed at and I have never even thought of calling the police. I deal with it with kindness but firmness !! I am the adult

Imagine, A full-grown man assaulting an elementary student.

In my school when a child misbehaves badly, they call the parents/guardian, not the police.

Bullying exists* Schools: Eh... 🤷‍♂️ 5-year old with a tantrum* Schools: Now that's an Avenger's level threat. bruh. 👁👄👁

I can only imagine being a 5 year old getting arrested. Kids that age don’t even understand life, they’re just starting. Most view police as people who help protect. This is just awful :(

imagine arresting a 5 year old child for having a tantrum even though thats basically apart of growing up at this point

The fact that the police officers would even carry that out is infuriating.

My mind: “she probably just gauched another kids eye out with a pencil” Vox: “she threw a tantrum” Wat

White kid vapes School: 3 day suspension Black kid: Make a paper airplane School: Now this is an avengers level threat

You can’t call the police on a 5 year old...she’s five. This is horrible

Honestly, it's pretty ridiculous that American schools use "suspensions" as a punishment. It's exactly what the misbehaving kids want and the opposite of what they need

Suspension is the weirdest thing. You misbehave? Go home and play minecraft. I just can’t handle you right now

"Hey what are you in for?" "I kicked my teacher on the ankle when I was 4"

Me: a black kid that got suspended for bending a paper clip aka "Destroying school property" this was middle school.

imagine needing a car seat for your arrested criminal in the back of your police vehicle

Y'all remember the kid who got SUSPENDED because she exposed teacher by Video taping the teacher bullying her student? America is different.

Imagine one day saying *ya, I have arrested a sevenyear old before*

America's school system is a joke

Jesus Christ this was heartbreaking to watch. I live in the uk and the idea of police handcuffing a six year old makes me feel sick

As an Indian, my first and second grade teachers really did treat us and Black children differently.

American: ah yes were strong Also american: omg she kicked him call the cops

And I used to think that calling my parents was the worst thing a school could do.

THE SCHOOL CALLED THE POLICE? TF. She's so young.

When I was in middle school a white kid 2 years older than me attacked me in the locker room and they called the cops on both of us. We weren’t’ put in handcuffs or physically arrested but they charged us both with misdemeanor assault. Thankfully my county had a youth program to get minor misdemeanors cleared from your record but it was absolutely ridiculous. Me and this same guy run into each other at the grocery store or bank nowadays and start chatting with each other. Criminalizing child/adolescent behavior is ridiculous.

What happened to just having a child sit in the principal's office: not letting the child return until there's a parent-teacher conference?

Regardless of race, a school shouldn't call the police on a six year old because of a tantrum

Bully punches kid. Schools: Meh Kid fights back against bully Schools: Now this is a avengers level threat. Edit: 5:59

Suspension for "talking back" I'm sorry you can't accept that you can be wrong, but me pointing that out isn't talking back, and if it was, it's not suspension worthy

Other countries school's, when a kid has a tantrum: timeout America: Arrest the child!

You stand accused of throwing a temper tantrum at school this evening. How do you defend yourself?

The cop should be ashamed of himself traumatizing a little child

That’s just petty man. Arresting a 6yo? Like, what are you even trying to accomplish?

This is one of the main reasons why I never reacted to bullies and avoided trouble to focus on my education despite my poor upbringing in a black neighborhood. I was shy and anxiety-induced by all the violence that went on around me by other black people, but remained strong enough to still stand and get accepted to top colleges. Most schools treat the students like dogs, and these elementary kids grow rigged once they hit middle and high school by disrespecting the staff and others. They grow believing they’re beyond saving because the adults told them that they are, even the quiet ones are verbally beaten. They remind us how useless we are and how we contribute to making more beds in the prison system, claiming us as societal waste

Poor kids man, this would have traumatized me as a child and as a parent.

US: A 6 year old having a tantrum is concidered a threat, and needs to be handcuffed and taken away from the school. Where i live: A 6 year old having a tantrum gets sent to the principal's office, has a good talk, and goes back to class, with a quick message given to let the parents know what happened when the kid arrives home.

If you have to call the police on one of your 6 year old students, then you deserve to be underpaid.

“Can’t believe you would throw a tantrum. What are you? 6?”

Where I'm from, outside the US, if anyone called the cops because they can't handle a 6 year old here's what might happen : -A sane adult would dissuade them. -No Cop or dispatcher would ever consider going, sending anyone. -If anything, that'd be seen as child abuse and the adults calling would at least lose their job. *That wouldn't happen in my country and we never called ourselves the Land of the Free.*

SERIOUSLY she’s a little kid even if she did kick them in a tantrum what do you expect? She’s a kid they do that sometimes

Now arrest the ACTUAL bullies, not 6 year olds.

All these black parents in here defending their lil thugs

From an outside perspective, it looks like racism wasn’t vanished. It was baked it to the system.

"suspended from defending himself from a bully" Yo what the *HECK*

Same things happening to autistic kids, I hope they finally stop it with wrongfully treating them in the same way they treat black kids.

Imagine being overpowered by a 6 year old

I had several tantrums as a kid and probably kicked my parents when my tantrums were really bad (sorry mom and dad). 2 parents. TWO people were able to get my tantrums to stop. But several teaches felt the need to call a *POLICE OFFICER* on a child. Disgusting

teacher: "what's 2 plus 2?" student: "five!" teacher: "... Uhm yes, 911?"

you are not a grown person if you judge someone by their skin color.

I didn't even think this could be a thing. Arresting children, what is wrong with these people?? In my country parents are legally responsible for the action of their children until they turn 14. I've never heard something like this, so sorry for these kids. It must be traumatic

Handcuffing a 6 year old is messed up

As a Swedish citizen, to see kids handcuffed and pushed over is extremely shocking.

i’m sorry but if you under 13 there’s no reason to put handcuffs on a kid

The bigger issue is in the home of these black students and black culture itself. You can’t just blame everybody else for your problems.

Here the teachers' themselves are acting like a bunch of arrogant kids

the fact that grown men and women are scared of six year olds is just embarising

I’ve been going to a black and very Hispanic school AND THIS WAS NORMAL! I thought this was normal!!! As a kid this happened daily!

MALAY SUBTITLES Part 1 of 2 00:00 Pada bulan September 2019, seorang pelajar berusia enam tahun bernama Kaia duduk di pejabat sekolahnya. 00:08 Itu pegawai polis. Video ini berasal dari kamera badannya. 00:12 Pada mulanya, nampaknya Kaia tidak tahu apa yang berlaku. 00:25 Awal hari itu, Kaia mengalami amukan. Tiga pekerja sekolah mengatakan dia telah menendang mereka. 00:30 Sekolah itu memanggil polis, yang menahan Kaia atas tuduhan salah menggunakan bateri. 00:39 Polis menjatuhkan tuduhan - setelah nenek Kaia menghantar video ini ke Orlando Sentinel. 00:47 Kes Kaia bukanlah kejadian terpencil. 00:53 "Seorang gadis berusia lima tahun diborgol oleh polis di Florida." 00:56 "Selama setahun, dia tidak dapat tidur sendirian." 00:58 "Dia meletakkan borgol pada saya." 01:00 "Dilempar ke tanah oleh pegawai sumber sekolah." 01:06 Apa yang anda lihat ialah kesan masalah yang lebih besar di sekolah-sekolah Amerika: 01:11 AS tidak memperlakukan semua pelajar sama rata. 01:15 Tetapi jika kita mahu, kita boleh melakukan sesuatu mengenai perkara itu. 01:20 Presiden seterusnya boleh memutuskan apakah itu berlaku. 01:27 Pada tahun 2016, penyelidik di Yale merancang menunjukkan klip video ini kepada guru 01:32 daripada empat orang murid prasekolah. 01:34 Arahan mereka: cari tingkah laku yang tidak betul, dan klik apabila anda melihatnya. 01:40 Kajian ini agak menipu. Tidak ada kanak-kanak dalam video yang benar-benar berkelakuan buruk. 01:46 Para penyelidik menggunakan perisian penjejakan mata; apa yang sebenarnya mereka mahu kaji 01:52 adalah yang diperhatikan oleh guru. 01:55 Kedua-dua guru Hitam dan Putih menghabiskan lebih banyak masa 02:00 menonton budak Hitam dalam video. 02:03 Kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa bahkan guru prasekolah 02:05 dapat memperlakukan anak-anak secara berbeza berdasarkan bangsa mereka tanpa menyedarinya. 02:12 Lihat di tempat lain di sistem sekolah AS, dan anda melihat ini muncul dengan cara lain. 02:16 Seperti di sekolah menengah ini di Bryan, Texas. 02:20 Mereka memberikan "tiket" kepada pelajar untuk kesalahan seperti mengganggu kelas, atau menggunakan kata-kata tidak senonoh. 02:26 Pelajar kulit hitam berkemungkinan besar empat kali ganda berbanding pelajar berkulit putih 02:30 untuk menerima tiket tersebut. 02:32 Di seluruh negara, lelaki kulit hitam kehilangan lebih banyak sekolah kerana penggantungan daripada kumpulan lain. 02:39 Dan ini boleh memulakan sejenis reaksi berantai. 02:42 Kehilangan minggu sekolah kerana penggantungan menjadikan pelajar lebih cenderung untuk berhenti sekolah. 02:47 Tanpa diploma, anda cenderung untuk mendapat gaji, 02:51 dan kemungkinan besar akan dipenjara. 02:54 Semua sekolah yang ketinggalan ini membantu mendorong kadar kemiskinan dan penahanan tertinggi 02:59 di negara maju. 03:01 Oleh itu, kita perlu bertanya, bagaimana kita sampai di sini? 03:05 Pada tahun 1964, Presiden Lyndon Johnson mewujudkan pejabat persekutuan baru, yang bertanggungjawab kepada Presiden: 03:12 Pejabat Hak Sivil. 03:14 Tugas pertamanya adalah menguraikan sekolah-sekolah awam di Selatan. 03:18 Tetapi tidak lama kemudian, mereka mula menyedari bahawa beberapa sekolah 03:21 memisahkan pelajar mereka, tanpa benar-benar memanggilnya pemisahan. 03:25 Sebilangan besar pelajar Hitam akan dilabel orang kurang upaya, 03:28 dan dikeluarkan dari bilik darjah arus perdana. 03:30 Jadi mereka akhirnya terpisah. 03:32 Daniel Losen belajar disiplin sekolah. 03:34 Selama bertahun-tahun, dia membunyikan penggera 03:37 tentang berapa banyak pelajar Hitam sekolah yang hilang kerana penggantungan. 03:41 Data yang dia gunakan dalam laporannya berasal dari Office for Civil Rights. 03:45 Pada tahun 1970-an, mereka mula memerlukan sekolah untuk melaporkan 03:49 berapa banyak pelajar yang mereka anggap kurang upaya, 03:52 ditambah dengan penggantungan dan pengusiran, semuanya dipecahkan mengikut bangsa dan jantina. 03:58 Selama beberapa dekad akan datang, jumlah itu meningkat, 04:01 kerana idea yang lebih menghukum mengenai disiplin berlaku di sekolah-sekolah Amerika. 04:06 Baiklah, di beberapa sekolah. 04:08 "Geng dan dadah telah mengambil alih jalan kami dan merosakkan sekolah kami." 04:12 Idea bahawa jika anda tidak membuang buku kepada anak-anak ketika mereka masih kecil, 04:17 untuk setiap perkara kecil, bahawa mereka akan berubah menjadi penjenayah. 04:20 Tidak pernah ada kajian yang menunjukkan bahawa ia benar-benar berjaya. 04:23 Anda tidak pernah melihat bahawa di sekolah yang melayani kebanyakan kanak-kanak kulit putih. 04:28 Tetapi pada tahun 2011, sebuah laporan baru dari Texas mula menimbulkan keraguan terhadap pendekatan itu. 04:34 Kajian itu melihat rekod disiplin untuk hampir satu juta pelajar. 04:38 Ia mengesan anak-anak yang sama, dari kelas tujuh hingga sekolah menengah. 04:43 Hasilnya menakjubkan: 04:45 Hampir 60 peratus pelajar telah digantung atau diusir sekurang-kurangnya sekali. 04:50 Kajian ini juga menunjukkan bahawa pelajar kulit hitam menghadapi disiplin sekolah untuk pertama kalinya 04:55 cenderung mendapat hukuman yang lebih keras daripada pelajar kulit putih. 04:58 Dan semakin banyak pelanggaran disiplin yang diterima oleh pelajar, 05:01 semakin besar kemungkinan mereka akan putus sekolah. 05:05 Jelas, Texas mempunyai masalah besar. 05:07 Persoalannya sekarang ialah apakah masalahnya lebih besar daripada Texas. 05:12 Untuk mengetahuinya, pentadbiran Obama beralih ke kumpulan data 05:16 yang telah dibina oleh Pejabat Hak Sivil. 05:18 Itulah bagaimana mereka mengetahui bahawa ini adalah masalah di seluruh negara. 05:21 "Pelajar Afrika Amerika lebih tiga kali lebih cenderung daripada rakan sebaya mereka

I am from India where police is quite untrained, corrupt and brutal. But this will never ever happen here. Never. This is illegal. The principal of the school will be arrested if they call the cops on 10 yr olds

Imagine spending 5 years in Prison for throwing a Potato Chip across the Classroom

wow in america even teachers are racist... I didn't know that!

So disciplining black children is racist. Math is racist. Rules are racist. Is Rain and Snow racist too ?

Other countries: 'Talk with the child and see how we can improve' US: "We dont do that here"

How come the cops have the rights to put cuffs on a child for the smallest of misdemeanour ? Utterly shameful....

I have read about this in my Early Childhood Education classes as well as heard personal accounts and it really breaks my heart. I heard someone spent weeks in the principals office with only packets of work to do. Thats not an education.

bro she is 6, that is actual spawn camping

The police had to be called on a freaking 6 year old for throwing a tantrum? Are you kidding me? All they had to do was call the parents to the school to take the child home. It didn't have to rise to the panic level of calling the authorities. And the police cuffing her like she's dangerous? That was ridiculous as I don't know what.

Handcuffing a 6yo ?! Why is that legal?!

I have a vivid memory of getting the police called on me because I was being choked and called the n word by a white kid and knocked things down trying to run away.

So the child got arrested for kicking 2 teachers? This is America.

I don’t even live in a developed country but if a 5 yo was handcuffed for being a troublemaker in class , the po wouldn’t see the light of the next morning

This is uncomfortable to watch.

So these lot couldn't handle a 6 yr old so they called the police on her. *Disgusting*

“Hey man what are you in prison for, what was your crime?” “Defending myself from a bully who probably (they didn’t give us much information on how the bully attacked so I am just assuming) violently attacked me and the school had to be sent to a criminal court when I was just 12 years old.”

Bruh if the Teachers called the cops on a 6 year old in my country, the teachers would lose their jobs...

DeVos is literally the worst person for secretary of education.

As a black man I knew I was treated differently in a predominantly white school

when i was in elementary school, i was a bad trouble maker and occasionally bullied other kids (bad home situation= kids let out there frustration at school/bullying other kids/acting out) but i only got detention slips and i think thats because im not black, if teachers treated black kids and other kids of color like humans and looked and investigate kids home situations, there would be no traumatized kids on this world

Enough is enough. Their time is coming....

Americans arrest children in school? Wow!!! America just keeps getting weird and weird. Keeps surprising the rest of the world.

Guy in jail: i killed 15 people The kid: i threw a tantrum Guy in jail: "moves to the side"

I just love how informational these videos are! All the backround information was used, correct, and wasn't sugar coated. I learn more from this channel than I could ever learn in history class. Just all together enjoyable to watch and listen to😌👌

Handcuffing a kid is absolutely ridiculous.

As a mother, this was painful to watch.

Kinda glad I don’t live in the us

if you are a teacher in an elementary school and you call the cops over a tantrum i don't think you should be working there

A legend once said 'racism is not getting worse, it's getting filmed.

I can’t believe that some of those police officers can actually do that, how can they sleep at night? How can they even think they’re doing the right thing.

"You may give a defense." "Can I go watch Paw Patrol?"
