So was going through CNN and found this article of a boy who threw a temper tantrum at school and was pepper sprayed by the police. The boy is eight years old and was threatening the teachers with a twelve inch sharpened stick...
After reading the article, I was beside myself with anger because I feel that the teachers should have handled the situation before it was escalated to the police. What the hell happened to common sense in dealing with this child? Are we as adults so afraid to properly admonish a child as to call the police instead of dealing with the situation?
Here is a link to the article... Lack of common sense (http://www.9news.com/news/article/191574/129/Police-use-pepper-spray-on-second-grader-)
