Dallas school district police are being accused of using extreme force to restrain a 7-year-old boy. Yosio Lopez, a student who was diagnosed with ADHD, had recently had an outburst and started banging his head against the wall. So to restrain him, the officers bruised, tased, and handcuffed the student and later sent him (without his mother's permission) to a mental health facility for a week.
There's a lot that concerns me with this story. The first is that I don't understand why it took all of that force just a for a little boy. Wouldn't actions like that just risk making his outbursts worst?? Also why didn't the police at least inform the mother of the decision before sending him to the facility??
I just hope that the correct consequences can be brought upon the officers. And that a thing like this won't happen again.
