Parents of the boy express their rage over the decision to handcuffed their son at a school in Georgia as it was reportedly left bruises on the boy's wrists according to Eyewitness news.
The school district says a school resource officer cuffed the child because he was "acting in a disruptive manner and being self-destructive during school."
However, the boy's mother, Lakaisha Reid doesn't think he was harming himself.
"He just ran away from school. It does not require handcuffs for this - he is just a special needs kid," Reid says, "that's pretty young for handcuffs - anything could happen with handcuffs on him."
Reid urges school officers to be trained on how to handle special needs children.
