Boy with autism arrested for assault after police called to classroom
A Quincy mother is upset over the way she said school officials treated her son who has autism during an incident Friday at Baldwin South Intermediate School.
Brandi Kirchner said that her 9-year-old son Roger Parker, Jr. had "a meltdown" during class. School officials sent him to a special area to calm down.
The boy climbed a dividing wall and the school called in a police officer to deal with him, the mother said. In the attempt to pull Roger off the wall, the officer pulled the boy by his arms and legs, causing him to hit his eye on the divider, Kirchner said.
The officer then tried to restrain the boy when Roger swung around and kicked the officer in his nose, Kirchner said.
Kirchner said the officer pulled her son to the floor. He was handcuffed and taken to the police station. She had to go to the station to get her son.

Many U.S. public schools have a resident police officer. Not a security guard, but an actual police officer. Since they have little to do all day, they sometimes become bored, and invent some reason to rough up the children.
