37 lbs. girl throwing 1st grade hissy fit deemed security risk by Port Lucie, Fla. school.

Right Pundits reports

Haley Shalansky's parents are furious with Parkway Elementary School in Port St. Lucie, Fl.
The six ( yes, 6 ) year old girl was handcuffed on Monday after a temper tantrum and deemed such a threat by Tuesday that the school had her committed to a mental facility!
Appropriate classroom behavior excludes tantrums, obviously, but how necessary was it to handcuff a 6 year old and have her committed?
Florida girl handcuffed, committed by school.

Haley Shalansky, 6 years old, allegedly became upset when her teacher asked her to "do something" and had a temper tantrum. The tantrum escalated in the principal's office, becoming a full blown hissy fit. The incident report from the Sheriff's Dept states that Haley
"kicked the wall, went over to the desk and threw the calculator, electric pencil sharpener, telephone, container of writing utensils and other objects across the desk."

Haley was placed in handcuffs after police were called. She weighs a mere 37 pounds, and her wrists are so tiny that both hands were put in one handcuff.

But wait there's more.
This "Florida girl handcuffed, committed by school" was actually committed to a mental institution on Tuesday! I guess calling Mom or Dad was too difficult a task for the brilliant employees of Parkway Elementary.
What an innovative way to deal with disruptive students! Such genius!
