Footage of the tantrum inside the school's mailroom shows staff using "blocking pads" before two officers arrive and forcibly handcuff the 4th grader, who curses, pleads, and cries amid apparent threats of going to jail<\/h2>\n

Earlier this year a fourth-grader was handcuffed at a Seminole County, Florida school and footage from the incident has recently been released.<\/p>\n

The tantrum and subsequent forced-restraint of the 9-year-old occurred on February 2 at Stenstrom Elementary School.<\/p>\n

Staff reported the child had been throwing things, kicking and screaming, as they attempted to de-escalate, per local police.<\/p>\n

However, according to parents of the child, who filed a lawsuit, the student was on an Individual Educational Plan and Behavior Intervention Plan; per the suit “physical aggression” was listed in the plan as a behavioral issue with guidelines for intervention.<\/p>\n

In the footage recently released of the incident, staff are seen using what appear to be blocking pads provided for the child when such an outburst occurs.<\/p>\n
