Kindergartner Charged With Felony Tantrum - Desre'e Watson, Avon Elementary School
You know your kid's school has problems when the adults can't control a 6-year-old and have to call the cops to handcuff her and haul her away. Here's more on the sad story of Desre'e Watson from The Slate (Link includes police report):
On March 28, Desre'e Watson, a 6-year-old kindergarten student at Avon Elementary School, had a bad morning. She cried. She wailed. She kicked. She scratched. She hit a teacher. That's what the police say, anyway.
The police? That's right. To subdue the unruly kindergartner, school officials phoned Avon Park's police department ("committed to enhancing the 'Quality of Life' of the community"). When the cops arrived, young Desre'e attempted to resist arrest by crawling under a table. But Avon Park's finest pulled her out, cuffed her, put her in a police cruiser, drove her to the county jail, and charged this 50-pound menace with a felony and two misdemeanors.
