11-year-old handcuffed at Texas middle school



An 11-year-old girl was handcuffed and taken into custody after a false fire alarm call at a Texas middle school. Her parents say their daughter is innocent and that law enforcement went too far. Authorities say, because the girl is older than 10, they followed policy by arresting and handcuffing her.

  1. 🤔🤨 Every kid should be changed at any age at school
    kid's now days are just to cockie with INTITLEDMENT….

  2. Kid know's better. Good job on the arrest.

  3. She should have been arrested

  4. They got to learn sometimes. What she did was dangerous and illegal. Bet she won't do it again.

  5. PULLING A FIRE ALARM IS NOT TO BE JOKE WITH, I AM GLAD SHE EXPERIENCED AND REALIZE THAT THERE IS A CONSEQUENCE FOR THE ACTIONS WE TAKE IN LIFE 🙌🏼💯

  6. You know what they say play with fire and you get burned. Parents should have to pay a fine.

  7. You should have to take an iq test to procreate

  8. What about Jamal Bowman?

  9. What is age ten the age of consent now? Sharia law?

  10. But nobody said if she actually did it.

  11. She was probably trying for a viral video….How about the Parents explaining why it's okay for their daughter to do such a thing❓Instead of trying to blame the Cop's…..I call the parents, ignorant ….for attempting to switch the blame to the Police ..There is rules, codes, and stuff you should never do, only in case of emergency….That's one of them….that automatically deploys how many fire, police, and medics, to a prank❓Make your daughter assume responsibility for her actions…She's old enough to know right from wrong…Repercussions to YOUR actions, is the lesson learned here…🙏🙏🇺🇸✌️🎄

  12. Parents of the year nominees here. SMH

  13. Now her parents are telling her she is in the right now she is going to be a menace

  14. Absolutely did the correct thing. Her pulling the fire alarm is against the law. Lucky they didn't put her on school suspension.

  15. Well, crime has consequences. Let the parents cover the costs of all the responders, fuel for fire trucks, and medical bills for anyone who may have gotten hurt, thinking they're escaping a fire. The consequences must remain high, or this will become a fad with poorly parented kids, and the resources won't be there for an actual fire.

  16. If you work for government you don't get arrested

  17. She was trying to open a door.

  18. Should have charged her maybe…. put that on her permanent record…..
    Maybe the parents will understand that

  19. Good
    Actions have consequences

  20. The parents aren't wrong. The kid should be held accountable for her actions. Detention for sure, maybe some suspension on top, but to arrest her over pulling a fire alarm. Good God, we had at least two a year. When i went to school and unless you were dumb enough to be caught twice. The worst you'd face was anb extra weeks vacation and a few hours in detention. Maybe even a Saturday detention, and prohibited from attending school functions.
    To have the cops called on you required something serious and to actually be arrested required theft or injury to another student.
    Guess those days are long gone. Now kids get arrested for fighting in the school yard

  21. Good. Hopefully she won't repeat

  22. They been doing this to black people for since the beginning of time and they're going to keep doing it until you till the law are changed get rid of qualified immunity this will make them think

  23. Well, she should’ve never done that

  24. This generation of people do not respect themselves .How do you think their kids are going to be ?

  25. Oh she was freaked out. She has no remorse and the parents are clueless.

  26. Older than 10 but yet an adult, they aren't even allowed to interrogate without a parent present… what kind of bs is this

  27. Never too early to learn that 'When you do the crime you do the time!!'.
