Re: Police arrest 6-year-old girl

I am appalled to see this as a petition on change.org. This forum recently, in my opinion, has became a place to help incite media and the public in the direction on issues that encourages people to blame racism, encourages lack of individual responsibility, and incites blind anger in your followers. 

Good for the school and the police! We don't allow the school to handle an out of control child so I applaud them for having the police to detain the child and teach her that this is absolutely not going to be tolerated! She assaulted two students and the principal and trashed the class... Sounds like she is passed due to be taught how to behave towards others and with other people's property. 

And mom has the nerve to chalk up the little girl's behavior to, "She has mood swings some days, which all of us had mood swings some days," Johnson's mother Constance Ruff told WMAZ. "I guess that was just one of her bad days." WTF!!!! 

If you know your child acts like this and you don't do something to change or control it then shame on you!!! Good parents don't make excuses for behavior like this. They apologize, promise it won't happen again, and then they spank, they take away privileges, they make the child apologize to the class and the school staff, and the punish with chores. Yes, a 6-year old can do certain small chores. 

If they can't or won't take action to prevent their child from acting like this then they should pay out of their pocket either for private tutoring or a special school. There are other children that go to school to learn that behave. It's more important to keep the other children safe and to make sure they get the education they are there for then for the teachers and the principal to have to waste more than 2 minutes on a child that acts like this!

The mom and dad of this child should pay for the damage to the property and for the medical expenses of the children and the principal assaulted. They also need to stop publicly trying to get sympathy and instead take this raving brat to the back room and tear her ass up!

My son was recently assaulted on the bus by an 8-year old and the school has yet to figure out how to handle this hoodlum. So you can preach your liberal belief on child rearing elsewhere. 

Spanking is not child abuse and doesn't damage a child. There is a HUGE difference between discipline and abuse and I'm beyond pissed at seeing kids throwing tantrums in restaurants, being knocked into by some brat running around senseless in a store while I'm trying to shop, and hearing elementary-aged children talking like they think they are grown! Just because you are okay with your child being a brat doesn't mean the rest of us should be forced to suffer with your lack of parenting.

Police in Georgia arrested a 6-year-old girl for a temper tantrum. Ask the school to stop using police on elementary students.
Sign Constance's Petition

KATIE -

Salecia Johnson is six years old. On April 13, her teachers say she had a temper tantrum in class -- but instead of putting her in time-out, the school called the police

Salecia was handcuffed, charged with battery, and kept in police custody for an hour before her parents found out what was going on. Though all charges have been dropped, Salecia -- a 6-year-old --  now has an arrest record.

Salecia's mom, Constance, says that "Salecia has been traumatized by this experience. She's afraid to return to school and recently woke up in the middle of the night saying 'they are coming to get me.'" Constance wants to make sure that this incident won't affect Salecia's future, and she wants answers about why police officers were involved in the first place.

So Constance started a petition on Change.org demanding that Salecia's arrest be removed from her record and that Creekside Elementary pledge to stop involving police in school discipline.

Constance believes that what happened to Salecia is part of a larger problem. Schools across America are adopting "zero-tolerance" policies that are making police involvement in school disciplinary matters more and more common, according to the Advancement Project, a group working with Constance's family.

If thousands of people sign Constance's petition, the police and the officials at Creekside Elementary will see that they can't arrest and handcuff a six-year-old girl without facing public consequences. Schools around the country will take notice -- and Constance hopes there won't be another child that faces what Salecia did.

Thanks for being a change-maker,
