Girl Aged Six Handcuffed and Committed to Mental Institution for Classroom Behaviour


A Port St. Lucie first-grade student was handcuffed and committed to a mental health facility because of her classroom behavior, and her parents are furious that the school took such extreme measures.

Mickey Shalansky explained Wednesday what he said happened to his 6-year-old daughter at Parkway Elementary.

  1. This is so ridiculous but I am going to comment about it anyway...

    Handcuffing a little child is just as ridiculous as it gets, however these days there are so many chemicals in the foods these children are eating and drinking that it comes as no surprise that they act up and misbehave.

    Next up for discussion is discipline, back in the days, parents were allowed to discipline their children or give corporal punishment, these days if parents so much as raise their voice, Social services are drafted in to collect the child. so, discipline has slowly flown out of the window and children think they can wear the trousers.

    Some children are clever enough to know how to behave with just a dirty look from their parents while others will continue to act out even when called to the side.

    Some children are just hyper, but many times they still need patience and understanding because they are children.

    So, handcuffing this child is just extremely ridiculous to me. Goes to show that the people involved had lost control if they needed to handcuff the child.
