Dallas School Police Use Handcuffs to Restrain 7-Year Old Boy:

Dallas ISD Police Department tased, bruised, and cuffed a 7 year old special needs boy. According to witnesses, the boy, Yosio Lopez, has mental health disorder and he started banging his head up against the wall repeatedly. He was taken into custody in order to "protect himself and the people around him" and he was not allowed to see his mom for several days. 

I think this situation was blown completely out of proportion. Why would anybody arrest a 7 year old boy with attention problems? The police should be charged severely because this is a ridiculous situation and completely inappropriate. If the boy had started attacking the people around him, i would understand them taking him in, but not beating his and tasing him. The fact that he was not allowed to see his mom the could of days after the incident disgusts me.
