Six and in Handcuffs

   On April 13th the unbelievable happened.  A six year old girl who goes by the name Salecia Johnson was arrested at school.  According to school officials Salecia had a temper tantrum in class so the police were called.  Out of all the things to do, such as calling her parents, the police were called.
    Little Salecia was not only handcuffed but she was charged with battery.  She was in police custody for a hour before her parents found out anything. Although her charges were dropped, Salecia still has an arrest record.  
    Her mother is stressing due to the fact that the whole situation has traumatized her daughter. She has started a petition demanding that the arrest record is removed from her daughters name.  The petition also requires that the elementary school should stop involving police in school discipline.
    To sign the petition please visit : http://www.change.org/petitions/justice-in-the-handcuffing-and-arrest-of-6-year-old-salecia-johnson#
    Personally, if this was my child I would be furious.  I can understand arresting a teenager for misconduct, but a child under the age of 10? That is ridiculous.
