5-Year-Old Cuffed, Arrested in Florida

I kid you not.

A 5-year-old girl was arrested, cuffed and put in back of a police cruiser after an outburst at school where she threw books and boxes, kicked a teacher in the shins, smashed a candy dish, hit an assistant principal in the stomach and drew on the walls.

The students were counting jelly beans as part of a math exercise at Fairmount Park Elementary School when the little girl began acting silly. That's when her teacher took away her jelly beans, outraging the child.

Minutes later, the 40-pound girl was in the back of a police cruiser, under arrest for battery. Her hands were bound with plastic ties, her ankles in handcuffs.

While police say their actions were proper, school officials were not pleased with the outcome.

"We never want to have 5-year-old children arrested," said Michael Bessette, the district's Area III superintendent.

Good Lord, what the hell is our world coming to?! Religious wars, the U. S. Government decided the fate of a single person instead of a group of people, Amber Alerts left and right, and now a child in kindergarten is arrested?!

And it doesn't stop there! The mother of the child is going to sue because she claims the school set her child up!

Yup, society is definitely going down the proverbial drain. No question about it now.
