A 5 year old Kindergartener choked on what family is now suspecting was a thumb tack, on his school bus en route to his home. While such a freak, terrible and tragic accident, I wonder if bus drivers shouldn’t be required to know CPR and the Heimlich maneuver.

The 5-year-old boy who died on a Marlborough school bus Wednesday was a kindergarten student named Darnell Cobb, officials said earlier today.

In a press conference at Central Fire Station - a few hundred yards away from where the bus pulled over yesterday - Mayor Nancy Stevens said Cobb was unconscious when paramedics arrived at the bus. Efforts by emergency responders and Marlborough Hosptial staff to revive the boy were unsuccessful, she said.

While Fox news is reporting the girls who shoved glue up a Kindergartener’s private parts as “predators”, it would be my guess that these Kindergarten perpetrators were exually abused themselves. Kids learn what they are taught and what they experience.

Not that these girls shouldn’t suffer consequences for their actions. Obviously, the assumed abuse has not taught these girls boundaries or the difference between right and wrong. I’m sure time will present further disturbing facts about these little girls.

A Texas kindergartener is accusing two of her female classmates of sexual assault, MyFoxHouston reported on Monday.

“She said two of the girls at school put glue in between her legs, in her private parts,” the mother of the 6-year-old girl told the station. “Someone hurt my baby; she just seems different now.”

The alleged attack took place inside a school bathroom, according to the report.

Doctors confirmed the unidentified girl suffered vaginal trauma and that glue was present when they examined her, the station reported.

A NY kindergartener was handcuffed after having a temper tantrum at school.

Some reports claim that the school contacted various hospitals to set up a psychiatric evaluation for the boy.

The mother claims that the school used unnecessary force and brutality in handling her son who has some developmental issues and possibly ADHD.

Even though handcuffs seem way over the top for a little kindergartener, I reserve my judgement on this one. Some children with ADHD can disrupt the classroom and cause an unsafe environment if they are not being treated properly (medically).

Especially when the police states this:

The police report says the child was “punching his teacher and swinging wildly at school aides, that he smacked the assistant principal in the face, ran into a corner, and began to throw things on the floor.”

What is a teacher and school to do?

Now, if the classroom is not an appropriate learning environment for the child and his classmates, then the school does have a responsibility to find an alternative classroom for that child.

The class needs to be a safe and respectable learning enviroment for ALL the children.

NEW YORK (CBS) ― A Queens mother is demanding answers after her 5-year-old son was handcuffed at his public school for allegedly misbehaving.

The child, Dennis Rivera, a kindergartener at a Public School 81 in Ridgewood, was put on a chair after apparently acting up and handcuffed behind his back by a school safety agent, said Jasmina Vazquez, the boy’s mother.

“I think it was excessive force. It was unnecessary what they did to my son,” she told CBS 2.

Vasquez said her son, who suffers from asthma, has speech problems, and may have attention deficit disorder, was handled brutally.
