‘total abuse of police power’
Police this week removed an unruly 7-year-old from his classroom and forced him to be hospitalized under the state’s Baker Act — against the wishes of his outraged parents.
The boy spent the night alone at Morton Plant Hospital before he was seen by a child psychologist the next day and discharged.
His crime: a tantrum.

I’d hit them with a lawsuit that would make them crap themselves.

This sounds to me like a parent who is not properly disciplining their child.

By the time he’s old enough to own a handgun, he will be precluded from ownership by that very hospital trip.
