Florida: Six-year-old arrested for throwing tantrum; grandmother shocked

According to the CNN report, when Kirkland informed the official that the girl has a medical condition called sleep apnea, and the family is working towards getting that cured, he replied, “Well I have sleep apnea and I don’t behave like that.”

Kaia was handcuffed and took in a police car to the juvenile detention centre where her fingerprints and mug shot were taken.

The fact that a six-year-old’s fingerprints were taken made Kirkland furious. “It hit me like a ton of bricks,” she said. “No six-year-old child should be able to tell somebody that they had handcuffs on them and they were riding in the back of a police car and taken to a juvenile center to be fingerprinted, mug shot,” she said.

However, Kaia is happy to be back home now, CNN reported.
