6-Year-Old Student Handcuffed, Committed by School

Handcuffs

A little girl was sent to an adult mental institution for being unruly

The same school district that allowed an autistic boy to be voted out of kindergarten class for being a bit unruly has a far worse penalty for 6-year-old little girls.

Handcuffs and straight jackets.

A Parkway Elementary School student was cuffed and sent to an adult mental institution earlier this month after she through a temper tantrum in the middle of class, reports TCPalm.com. The little girl was handcuffed by a Sheriff's Office deputy "for her safety and the safety of others," a police report said.

The incident report said the girl was hitting school officials and screaming, although it's unclear what brought on the tantrum. The handcuffs worked because the little girl calmed down after an hour in the tight silver bracelets, but her troubles were just beginning.

"These people are going to the extreme," said Kathy Franklin, the girl's mother.

Gillard flags national ID scheme for schoolchildren

This really goes to show how gullible they think we are. If it can be tracked, scanned pulled up on any computer, phone or network of any kind. It can be hacked and used within seconds.
Please folks Protect your children from this.

The Federal Government plans to assign every schoolchild an individual identity number to track their academic progress.

Education Minister Julia Gillard is expected to unveil the plan in a speech at the National Press Club today.

Ms Gillard says the program will allow parents to monitor their children's development, even if they move schools.

She says the Government will ensure privacy is protected.

"If we have a way of tracking we can obviously have better measures of how schools are going in developing student performance," she said.

"And then for individual parents it obviously would be of assistance to be able to track the records of a child's schooling."

Opposition Leader Tony Abbott says he has doubts about the plan.

"I think that people have names and I think that it ought to be possible to identify people's performance based on their names, based on who they are," he said.
