Kathy Franklin says she wants to get her ********* back in school. But after her 6-year-old was handcuffed and then sent to a mental health facility, she no longer feels her ******** are safe at Parkway Elementary.
“These people are going to the extreme,” Franklin said. “She is so tiny. They didn’t have to use ***** on her.”
St. Lucie County Sheriff reports say Franklin’s ********, Haley, was being disruptive on several occasions at school, throwing objects, hitting administration personnel and screaming uncontrollably. Last week after Haley wouldn’t calm down, a deputy handcuffed the 40-pound girl to get her under control.
On Tuesday, after another disruption, the girl was put under a *************** *********** Baker Act and taken to a mental health facility. Franklin says the latest events have traumatized her ********. She is afraid of *************** and school, she said.
“There is absolutely no reason for what they did,” Franklin said.
