According to Kalyb Primm Wiley, teachers at his Kansas City school couldn’t calm him down or get him to stop shouting, so they had a security officer take him to the principal’s office in handcuffs.

"We were halfway down the hall, he put handcuffs on and twisted my wrists a little.” When the boy’s father arrived at the school to pick up his son, he found him in handcuffs. "I don't think any 7-year-old should be in handcuffs unless he was armed with a weapon, or violent," said Kalyb’s mother, Tomesha Primm. The district said the officer followed proper procedures and that handcuffs are only used on children “as a last resort.” Regardless, the Wileys say their son will soon be going to school in another district.
