Misbehaving in school earned one young girl a trip to the station in handcuffs.
Elementary school student Jmyha Rickman, 8, had her wrists and feet cuffed and was taken away in the back of a police car late Tuesday morning after throwing a tantrum, reports St. Louis’ KMOV.
School officials called the Alton, Ill. police to intervene during what was apparently a bad tantrum at Lovejoy Elementary School. Nehemiah Keeton, Rickman’s guardian, said the cops treated the 70-pound girl like a criminal.
“Her eyes were swollen from her crying and her wrists had welts on them,” Keeton told us.
Rickman’s requests to use the bathroom were ignored, Keeton said.
