8 y/o kid, with special needs, gets arrested at his elementary school after punching a teacher
Video recently surfaced Monday from a 2018 incident where police officers attempted to handcuff a crying eight-year-old boy in his elementary school and told him he's going to jail.
Bodycamera footage from the December, 14, 2018 incident shows two cops in front of the sitting child, who reportedly had special needs, at Gerald Adams Elementary in Key West, Florida.
The boy punched a teacher in the chest and was arrested on a felony battery charge, according to the arrest report. The boy's name was not listed in the report due to his age.
One officer behind the camera says, 'You're going to jail. So you need to stand up and put your hands behind your back.'
An officer then frisks the child as he puts his hands on a cabinet and is then placed in handcuffs, but they're too large and don't fit.
The little boy looks down and complies with the officers and whimpers and cries as he's asked to walk out of the school.
The status of the case is not known.
