Family sues for $1 million for handcuffing 10 year old Options

[Mommy]

Ten year old girl is acting up on a school bus, is handcuffed by a police officer, and now the mom is suing for a million dollars because her daughter "can't ever look and a police officer the same again and is scared of them."

Kid probably deserved it. Now, the 5 year old they talk about at the end of the video... I don't know about that one. Fiver years old and they can't think of another way to deescalate the situation besides handcuffing the kid to a chair? That's kind of strange.

Thoughts on handcuffing young children?

more black people looking for a handout by using ambulance chasing lawyers to short circuit the legal system...

Also see the story about the rich woman who reportedly shoved or slapped or something a flight attendant on an airplane. No bruising or harm or anything, but the lady was fined $3000...

the flight attendant? claiming that because of the anxiety SHE GOT HEMORRHOIDS (not making this up)and is suing for TEN PERCENT of the womans net worth (she is somehow famous or connected in some way, she and her husband have a lot of money).


Bullshit.

edit: haha. I found the story by googling "flight attendant suing hemorrhoids" The woman was Victoria Osteen and her husband is allegedly a famous pastor somewhere and she reportedly "elbowed the flight attendant in the breast".

Wow...
