Being written by Artemis Moshtaghian, we get a better view of the topic with is specialized background of the subject matter. In this article we hear about a seven year old dallas student that was restrained in extreme measures. The dallas school district student was in the special needs program and his mother explains that he has ADHD and a mood disorder. He was banging his head against the wall in class and Dallas Independent School District Police Tased, handcuffed and bruised the seven year old, Yosio Lopez. I think that it is unacceptable for any police to do that, especially not a DISD police. The fact that this child is seven makes this situation concerning but on top of that he has special needs makes this almost disturbing. I think there were many other ways to calm him down and stop him from banging his head against the wall like just talking to him or calling his parents. Instead these adults though it was a good idea to treat this kid like a criminal. That will definitely help him grow and learn in a safe place called school. It makes me angry that a grown person though that was a good idea and an okay thing to do to a seven year old with special needs.
