The Disturbing Arrest of a Six-Year-Old Girl
A shocking incident involving the arrest of a six-year-old girl named Kaya highlights serious issues within the juvenile justice system. Kaya, who struggled with severe sleep apnea, had behavioral outbursts stemming from her sleep deprivation. During a school incident, after being denied her sunglasses, Kaya's tantrum escalated, leading a school resource officer to use zip ties to restrain her and arrest her for battery. This incident serves as a stark example of the criminalization of young children for behavior that can often be traced back to underlying health issues.
