ST. LOUIS, Missouri (AP) -- The board of a St. Louis charter school on Wednesday placed a principal on leave after he had police handcuff a 5 year old and drive him around the block in a squad car to curb his unruly behavior. Principal Sam Morgan is on leave from Thurgood Marshall Academy pending an investigation into last month's incident, board attorney Wayne Harvey said. Morgan declined to comment Wednesday, but last week said he had spent more time on the boy "than any kid in this building, trying to steer him straight."

Nobody puts a 5 Year old in Handcuffs! What were they thinking?? Hey teacher...Leave them kids alone!!
i think dat's just BS....cause if dat teacher whould have done dat...then he would have been paying high bills cause he would have been sued by now by da kids parents...dude, this is america no one can do dat....
wait maybe they were plastic handcuffs !! and the press thought they were real n it was a joke .. k i ll shut up .. this is just weird , how did those handcuffs fit the kid
Custom handcuffs for kids??? Newayz, this is real crap man... lets all kill the teacher! only 5 yrs old.. he may just be hyperactive, for all we know!
Can a 5 year kid understand what is embarassing? If he would have understood he would have never done anything wrong. Moreover, what is wrong and what is right for a 5 year old kid?
