Mom of Arrested 10-Year-Old With Autism: Nightmare Continued After Video Ended
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- After a fourth grader with autism was arrested last week in the principal's office of his Florida grade school, his mother says her son "didn't know what was going on" when he was thrown in jail. John Benjamin Haygood, 10, was handcuffed and taken from Okeechobee Achievement Academy by two uniformed cops as his stunned mom recorded video of the entire scene on April 12. In the video, her boy kept asking his mom, Luanne, what was going on. #InsideEdition
Yet bullies only get suspended,
And they cause suicide 🤦🏻♀️
Moon Turtle they don’t get suspended at my school they only get told off no punishment but if I hit the bully back I get in trouble they don’t and today I’ve been bullied to the point were I screamed and nearly punched them

@@willarmstrong4541 yeah I feel you this girl in my school put in a note how she wanted to kill another one and they dint do a thing I've gotten a threat I knew reporting was going to be a dumb paper but the was to get rid of bullys is to go along like if they call you dumb say ik it will make them bored
Ikr but not all some get away with it

100 ways to traumatise a child
1.put them in handcuffs
2.take them to jail
3.say nothing
4.arrest them
5.put them in a cell etc...
Sophia The flash And then you have the variable of being autistic to factor in.
@TeenMomTo baby.J you most likely don't know what autism is.
@TeenMomTo baby.J saying 'dont break the law and it won't happen' (in this case basically saying, don't get angry and it won't happen) is like saying 'dont eat this food or you're going to regret it'
Kid could have been raped in the jail and I bet the guards would have tried to cover it up. Next time I might kneel for the anthem. I call on to all my homies on the spectrum to take a knee this football season and wear Nike gear! Lets see if the facists try to cry and whine now!
Sophia the flash you said 100 ways that's only 5 ways to traumatise a child
When I went to school in the special class for children with autism, the teachers never called the cops when one of the children grew angry. They often called their parents to come and help calm down him/her. THIS was totally unneccesary, and scary for someone with autism. It can be traumatic.
MachHeart Eleven I agree
Agreed
My brother is autistic he is 5yrs old
Hows the kid gonna learn if you dont discipline him with some sort of punishment. Yes it was probably traumatic, and now he will think twice before doing it again.
Pluto : A kid with autism can't read social cues and often feel uncomfortable with being touched by strangers. You need to approach them in a different way than other kids. Arresting a kid won't do much good even if the kid doesn't have special needs.
The boy: don't touch me
Me: *kicks down door* DON'T TOUCH HIM
Don't touch da child
DONT TOUTCH DA CHILD
HES TOUCHING DA CHILD
Guy Dude *we all point to the cop*
Niemeh Awad You *gets huge bill for breaking door*
one of the worst things is that they can't arrest him until he's 12 yrs old
Super Boss RIIIGHHTTTTTTT
Super Boss until 13**
GhettoBoxMan part*******
Super Boss you're stupid yes they can
Super Boss actually that's not true
its called having a meltdown I think teachers should be informed about people who have autism and how to react with someone having a meltdown
100% true.
I don't have autism and I had meltdowns as a child, police were never called. Instead I was locked in a tiny room for the rest of the day. The fact that they put handcuffs on a child is disgusting nevermind the fact that he is autistic. I am sickened by the actions of that school
I have autism I stress out alot in school no one helps me when I feel like being violent but I have never hit anyone.

Issssss.....that in Canada too?.....Im 14
Shen Oac bruh
He literally can’t help what’s coming out of his mouth and you’re gonna arrest him. Go to school.
Bruh, their cops, they wouldn’t be cops if they didn’t go to school.
that boy needs mental help why would the first thing to be on your mine is to kill a teacher
@@theteaishot8149 Maybe because that teacher's touching him without his consent? You don't get to lay hands on a kid and then pretend you're the victim when they struggle and threaten you.
Juliet Capulet threatening is different than actually kicking punching and scratching smh.
I’m not sure what side to pick I get he’s ten but he did threaten to kill but whatever
"I don't wanna be touched, please don't touch me!"
That actually made me sad 😢
As an autistic person, touch like that is really stressful.
Yes, very heartbreaking. The mom was right there. Just let her take her son home. He has been traumatized enough. People with autism have no control over their stims and when they meltdown. Police seriously need training or need specialist on the force that can be called in these situations.
“This is so - - - - - - -dumb mama” I love how the mom agreed with him, even though he cursed. I absolutely love that, lol
UltimateVroom if I was a teenager it would be different I feel like nobody really knows about the autism People that well.... and
My mom won’t even let me cuss ONE time
@@trapezone4129 you're a kid, watch your mouth.
Hey when I was 10 years old and was about to be arrested, I’d swear my ass off. Especially to the principal.
AFOFan2005 Creations shut your mouth . This kid has all of his rights.
This is wrong
Dayanara Melchor this is right. He freaking assaulted and threatened a teaching assistant.
Dayanara Melchor So? That's like saying it's ok for me to steal something because I have Tourettes (I don't btw) they say they want to be treated like normal kids, well stop making them sound special and privileged.
Dayanara Melchor Ikr it is wrong!
ToxicScopeZ people with autism want to be treated like normal people but they can't because of dumbasses like you. This kid did not not has severe autism. You wanna know I know? It's bc he isn't in retarded classes. And unless you have severe autism you know the difference between right or wrong. He knew that assaulting his teacher was wrong. If he was my son don't think he would live to see the next day after he did that.
I agree! They shunt do this! Why do they take him to an adult sell!?
kid: kicks, punches, scratches, and threatens to kill teacher.
teacher: somebody's going to jail!
bullies: beat someone up
teachers: this is entertaining
Someone called another person nerd in my class and then called them ugly and teacher didn't do any about it
@@stephanie-ur4ly Oops! When did that happen?
Lol.
I have an autistic 16yr old step son. he has moderate case. he hit his teacher once and even hit his mother in the face while on abilify meds which caused his outbusts. What the kid did was wrong but still they should be better trained with a better environment.
Tampatec f
Tampatec wow
Tampatec I have a 12 yr old cousin who is Autistic I hope 🤞 he won’t do this
I'm a 17 year old with Autism. I find this video disturbing
I see you commenting everywhere
This is horrible. That little boy being treated this way
Valerie Glasgow i totally agree with you he shouldnt of been arrested like that
Valerie Glasgow I have a Glasgow smile
Kyrlics I'm happy to hear that
Valerie Glasgow A Glasgow smile involves a knife.
he literally assaulted someone. he should just get away with it? like from the video he CAN control his actions
Sounds like a kid in my school. Instead he just got suspended for 3 days and the police talked to him about. Nothing happened about being restrained in handcuffs and alone in jail for hours. Thank goodness I don’t live near there.
Scooby Snacks the us sucks so hard that I would rather have Kim and all other leaders of the world to bombard us
Well, this did happen in Florida, so….
Someone bullying someone constantly
Police:
A kid defending himself
Police: YOUR GOING TO JAIL
That’s how corrupted school is
He wasn’t defending himself. He was attacking a teacher.
@@leylikarpitsky1632 he was actually accused of attacking a teacher. Watch the whole video again seeing how as you didn’t pay attention. There was no actual proof he attacked a teacher. And when the police came he had NO idea what was going on. I repeat NO idea. so that meant the kid just made a threat he didn’t actually mean and the teacher did not do their job by not asking him if he means it or not. Or they’re lying about all the accusations.
@@tatiannaday4278 I’m a teacher. I have gotten hit, spit on, swore at, kicked, etc at least twice a year since I started. The teacher isn’t lying.
@@tatiannaday4278 and I guarantee this mom knew her son was a violent problem and did nothing about it. “Well he’s on an IEP and the school is failing him…he doesn’t act like that in my house” then lets him play violent video games from the minute he walks in the door at home until he goes to bed. Guarantee he was cursing and raising hell, disrupting other students, throwing a fit to the point he had to be restrained…assistant tried to restrain him, got attacked, got fed up it’s happened so many times, and pressed charges.
Police have no shame these days

Moses George agreed
true.
Ignorance... Just because you become a police officer doesn't automatically make you a bad guy that wants to shoot black people. God 🙄
The boy needs appropriate/special teaching & discipline, not ridicule & handcuffs.
I agree, and I have autism myself.
That is outrageous and he is a kid
Nope, He needs to learn a lesson, "Now, I know that is a mighty big, nasty pill to swallow, but swallow it he most certainly will" Can't be saying he wants to KILL THE TEACHER CAN YA? Minecraft server moderators should've taught him that! If he doesn't behave, he'll get molested his whoooole life. He's a BAD BOY, a "4th Grader" doesn't say BAD words like that do they? Boop
Josh Smolander wtf.. K no.. He has austism. he can't control his actions or what he says.
Josh Smolander I have autism
And while I am not physically violent when I have a meltdown I am not in control of what I do I've hurt myself, tried to jump out the window, opened a door of the moving car thrown stuff at the wall, broken my own favourite positions and much more. Whilst I agree he needs to be taught ways to manage outbursts it is unfair how you say "autism my ass"
Josh Smolander don't be rude
Josh Smolander he doesnt mean it he has autism for goodness sake my sister has the same and she hates being touched sometime she threaten but doesnt mean she actually wants to kill you he was trying to get her to back off
How could you even begin to think this is a good idea?! “I don’t wanna be touched, please don’t touch me.” He’s ten! He has autism and that probably triggers him! I’m triggered by that same type of thing and I can’t even imagine what he was going through in that moment. Completely and utterly disrespectful. I hope he’s doing better. ❤️
But he was trying to scratch out another child's eyes. You really support that? What's wrong with you?
@sea Please stay in touch with reality and stop spewing silly insults to cover up for your ignorance.
@@vivianavian6287 Yes, this 10 year old boy just decided to scratch a kids eyes out for no reason. Totally no reason to look into that, no way the other kid could've provoked him somehow, the boy must just be psychotic
@@m.a.9648 To a violent person, just looking at someone can be "provoking". NO, if that child cannot control his violence, he doesn't belong in public. Thankfully the school isn't putting up with his violence. Other children have the right to not be assaulted.
@@vivianavian6287 Where did you read he assaulted a kid? Cuz it doesn't say so in this vid.
The teachers shouldn't of called the police he clearly has needs
He should live in my town because every single teacher is trained to handle this correctly without police intervention.
@@woodwyne4500 sounds like your town is the example we need
No offence but it does not matter if u have autisum having autisum is not an exiuse to no go to jail

Soviet Taco he is in 4th GRADE
Schools not professional anymore. Schools in 1970 and 1980 was handle lot better back those days.....
Kenny Ryman when I was in school. School officials do nothing to keep things under control
We also didn't have social media or the Internet in the 70s and 80s. Who knows what horrors we would have seen back then if we had this technology back then.
That may be so, but may I ask, did you go to school? You do not have the best grammar.
Krafty Koala , yours isn't great either. Run on sentence. It's youtube. You don't have to be a jerk about it....
Krafty Koala He's probably not a native English Speqker. English's probably not is his first language.
This is so wrong. Im on the autistic spectrum and I hate contact and loud noises. I can see what this poor child is going through.
As long as you don't assault the teacher and threaten to kill people in the school, every thing is fine.
Wacky Balls
Who me?
I agree with the thing about cussing. But the kid doesn't even understand that what he does is wrong. It's apart of autism
Deseray Patterson
He should learn to keep his paws to hisself than!
Deseray Patterson I have a busmate who has autism and he is annoying asf. When we tell him to stop, he won't. When we say we don't want to play right now, he will keep on asking. But he is a good friend :)
I love the part when he says “this is so f*****g dumb mom”
I don’t because I have a problem with cursing. Even on the internet.
That’s why I’ve been blocked
😂😂😂😂
this is an example whats wrong with the usa
Twin Focus if you live in the united states and do not want to live here, i will drive you to the airport and buy tickets for you to go far away from America. you'd be surprised how great our country is. we have the best military in the world and the best police force. so, good luck in another country.

@@mlgtrickolumbine1108 how tf you know
i know im austistic i have stage 2 austim and in games when i get mad i say ill do something bad but its the internet so people know im joking they dont deadass tell the cops but this kid doesnt deserve jail but deserves like a week supsension at the maximum
@@yesindeed7800 He only committed about 55 felonies or more in the past. Such as sharpening a pencil and stabbing a student, puncturing their skin. They should definitely not arrest him now. How do they know that his "autism" isn't a way for him to get away with all the 55 felonies he had committed.
It’s illegal for the police to take a minor at not tell its parents where and why taking them
And bullies don’t get arrested for doing the same thing he does? Scratching, kicking, whatever? Maybe they might threaten to kill the victim
because he autistic and was getting treated differently by that teacher, the teacher traumatized my bother, he pinned my bother down several times and hurting him ofc he's going to say this stuff because this was effecting him and it hurt, it was slef defense plus he autistic he process things different on top of that they arrested at 10 years old for two days at a real jail, he is forever traumatized from this experience, he still hasn't been able to go to a public school to this day
@@fufu1001 Damn.. I'm sorry for your brother, i had the same thing happen to me when i was little as well a lot. which has made me never return to public school.
I have heard much of autism in my school. When they feel attacked(also just a little bit) They come out with very big words and that should they have known. U know they can be shy for the most and aggressive at just the tiniest thing. Handcuffs was just too much. He is only in 4. Grade. Chill. They did handle it damn shit😡😤!
..i have autism and thats completely wrong. not everybody with autism is the same either..
You couldn’t be more wrong. I love it when people try to sound educated on a topic they know literally nothing about. Autism is such a HUGE spectrum that it’s a case by case basis. Signs of Autism can range from hand clapping (closely associated with the more non verbal side of the spectrum) to only lacking essential social skills. Your response is comedic because you want to sound so uneducated on a topic you wanted to come across as you were well informed on😂
Laura Nasewytewa I agree that he should be taught that that kind of behavior is unacceptable, but the methods the police used were unnecessary
Laura Nasewytewa what makes you think he is high functioning? Autism is a HIGE spectrum so it’s really hard to know for sure, so I’d love to hear how you know that from a short RUclips clip
Laura Nasewytewa you can’t make that assumption based on how much of a spectrum Autism is. Your lack of knowledge on the subject is a clear indicator that you’re also not qualified to make that call either✌🏻
those cops and that kids school should be severely ashamed of themselves. this was way to extreme.
It could have been handle a better way !
handled (past tense)
Rumple Stiltskin get a life
Get educated at least past fourth grade
As an autistic child, i am 100% offended by this kid being arrested just cuz he was trying to defend himself and breaks my heart a lot 💔😢😠
I'm MILDLY AUTISTIC, so i have no qualms being around people!
Oww c'mon he's not defending himself he threaten the teacher and he raise his hands to his teacher just because she's a substitute doesn't mean he could do whatever he wants...
I know how you feel. I have autism to and I unfortunately got blamed for basically everything. ☹️

arresting a child below 12 is impossible in my country thank god
HERE IN SCOTLAND YOU CAN GO TO COURT WHEN YOU'RE 12, BUT..
You can't be arrested till your 18 😏
FYI: It is a felony to hit or threaten a school board employee...I would be interested in knowing what led up to this event! The teacher should have the ability to descalate a situation, or in the very least, clear the room.
Brittany Taylor Being autistic isn't an excuse to attack and threaten people.
GhettoBoxMan exactly! People need to understand that kids with autism don't understand
Btw, I when I say neither, I mean only the ones who say "you don't understand autism" ( it's funny because they don't either ) I agree with the people who said "but this doesn't excuse threatening and physical violence"
Last Fall (around October sometime) was when he hit the teacher. His mom pulled him out to be homeschooled. In April (recently) he needed to come back for standardized testing and that's when he was arrested.
Name a yellow fruit Orange: Then what would you call everyone's response? Even the child's own mother blames tge school & police, not her child....
wow this is so wrong

By the way, here for instance we have a particularly telling example of the family’s social media, taken directly from the elder brother’s public account. On which the mother, Luanne Haygood, has also even posted and made acknowledgements. Also very accessible. She has also voiced her extreme pride in this son.
In his complete and unedited quote directly from his social media he says:
"Avery Haygood September 20, 2016 ·
I was fortunate enough at work today and able to pay for and serve Mr. Daniel carver and his family! Too bad I was to concentrated on my first impression (which I I did ) to ask for an autograph. Oh well. It still will always be a day Ill remember!"
In case you don't know who Daniel Carver is, he is a white nationalist and former Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan. Real nice family ties. White supremacy. A trait associated with numerous instances of what is called homegrown terrorism. What an influence for a mentally ill child with aggressive and violent tendencies, right? The kid is also undeniably a product of his environment, regardless of any developmental disability.
I am the mother of a bullied kid. My son became suicidal at 10 years old, yet the only rhetoric I heard from the school was:"everything is fine. He is the only one that has a problem, nobody else complains". I live in a country that does not allow homeschooling so I had no choice but to fight against the school and the system by keeping my child at home. I spent a lot of money to hire lawyers and luckily the child protection also intervened. It took that much to convince the school that my son was victim of bulling. I don't think this is normal.
Thank you for sharing.
I’m hoping dearly that your son grows up to be a successful person.
Thanks a lot of the message. In few weeks my son turns 15. He has grown up, still struggles with few things but he has become a confident young man with a lot of interests. We changed countries though, to get him away from everything and he had a fresh start.
I hate the fact that they put him in adult sell for hours around maybe violent people which alone would have scared me to death but then the fact that he was in there alone not knowing what to do or what was happing around him, hours later he was released (HOURS) later not your normal talk with the police 🚨 to go through what happen and his side of the story but hours of sell time. Not except able we can do better then that.
Jake Paul he should at least know why he was being arrested
Fan Base surprised that “white privilege” was denied.
Not to mention pedophiles.
You can’t arrest a child 😂🤦🏻♀️
Awww that gave me chills "I don't know what's going on mama." 😭
anyone want to mention the childs behavioural history and the 55 incidents etc etc he is well known for? did u all not wonder how the police could be so confident in this arrest? Did u all not wonder why the news media doesnt seem interested in doing a follow up?
What is the name of the case? Now I want to look into it!
PrinceOfLillies Austin is such a HUGE spectrum with so many different possible triggers and whatnot that it would be impossible to see how he’d view authority after this incident. You’re welcome
THANK YOU! That's precisely why there wasn't a follow up! Autistic or not, the kid is an as*hole and the parents enable his behaviour. Too many parents today teaching their kids, "You didn't do anything wrong."
@@wifemotherconservative3432 autistic kids think differently. They can be VERY sensitive to touch. And the teacher was trying to restrain him, ofc he would punchh and kick wtfff
You have absolutely no clue.
As someone with Autism myself, this video really hurt to watch. Yeah I get people like us can go berserk time to time- but arresting is just way too far here! I just hope they handle this situation more properly next time. Hope the boy is doing well- 😔
When we were growing up they would never do things like this! This is sickening I’m disgusted at the school and authorities.
When we were growing up, would 10 year olds act/act out like this?
I feel so bad for him. That should not have happened it totally could’ve been handled better.
Jail austim handcuffed 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
A lot of these comments agree with the officers and say the kid can change etc. It could have and might have been an unsafe environment for spectators but he can't. My brother has high-functioning too. You don't know exactly what happened in that classroom or whether the paraprofessional didn't embellish details. Was his IEP followed? Was he provoked into acting that way? Did another kid do something to him? He was in fourth grade. The paraprofessional should not have pressed charges. If she didn't agree with the treatment, she should have called a meeting.
Dream Discovery right
THANK you☺
This Honestly Makes me Upset, The Child Has Autisum, Its Not His Fault, Both of my Siblings Have Autisum and They Can't Help it.
The fact is the boy, John Benjamin Haygood, had exhibited 55 aggressive and excessively violent incidents at his school alone (not counting the fire his own brother reports in his social media that he set at the family’s home), among which was a premeditated stabbing of another disabled classmate, repeatedly breaking bones with the steel toed boots his mother so thoughtfully bought him, and certainly not the least of which the TWICE HE THREATENED TO RETURN IN THE FUTURE WITH A GUN AND SHOOT PEOPLE DEAD. Altogether that amounted to 5 felony charges. In addition he was raised in a household that harbored white supremacist ideologies, a developing child being a product of his environment regardless of a developmental disability. There is more information available at your fingertips in the form of additional articles, interviews, police, court, and arrest records as well as the family member's own social media from the more than a year since this took place.
Directly from the report of the initial court appearance citing the Assistant State Attorney :
"When talking about the incident that led to John Benjamin’s arrest, Mr. Albright said he has been able to document 55 incidents committed by the boy while in the Okeechobee school system. “That’s only physical aggression against the other children or faculty,” he noted. Some of the documented incidents include kicking, biting, spitting and punching. The prosecutor then offered a few specific incidents.
• On one occasion, the boy kicked a male coach in the groin.
• The boy punched another student in the face.
• The boy stabbed another student with a pencil after he had just sharpened it and the pencil went through the other child’s jacket and punctured the skin.
• The boy intentionally stomped on a female teacher’s foot while wearing steel-toed boots and broke three of her toes. “Then, when she returned to work, he stomped on her same toes and said she deserved it,” said Mr. Albright.
• On two different occasions John Benjamin told teachers he was going to come back with a gun and kill them."
Making a determination on the basis of a developmental disability is not at the discretion of the officers, John Benjamin Haygood being as subject to the law as anyone else. The exception being that it is the role of the court to take into account any impact of a disability or disorder, which of course it did. Those other developmentally disabled classmates, as well as those individuals that advocate and intervene on their behalf, who had been victimized by John Benjamin Haygood all have the undeniable rights to press charges in the interests of their safety and well-being. Something that is being too easily dismissed and contributed to by misrepresenting the facts as if they only involved a single incident with one teacher, or rather one para-professional.
Ultimately the court, as is its role, took his disorders, which behaviors strongly indicate include an oppositional defiant disorder and or a conduct disorder as well as ASD and ADHD, into account and adjudicated him as incompetent. Which provides safeguards that prevent his future access to any firearms, as well as the court assuring there is provision of additional intervention and oversight at his current placement at the Mountaineers School of Autism in West Palm Beach. These safeguards further not requiring any conviction, incarceration in juvenile detention, or any punitive measures. Most importantly preventing a repeat or mirror of circumstances that contributed to the 17 shooting fatalities in relatively nearby Parkland involving Nikolas Cruz, as well instances where others had likewise made good on their threats. Those who had unfortunately not been barred from access to firearms despite histories and circumstances that in hindsight clearly indicated the action was warranted. Those like Adam Lanza, and even James Egan Holmes and Devin Patrick Kelley.
Same
Not true, they can learn but it takes more time, patience, and consistency. It's sad when people just give up on them because they don't want to dedicate those three things.
The kid gave a death threat to the teacher, and he swore.
That Karen man
Bullies punches kids, yells at the teachers, cause suicides and they don't get arrested.
Smh 🤦♂️ this is so dumb their waiting their time it’s just a ten year old chill
But if it was a teenager it would be different.
@lilmiss fatn3ss I don't care how """""""high functioning""""""'''''' you claim he is, any autist will react in the same way if extremely overstimulated and aggravated. It's involuntary and shouldn't be punished.
@lilmiss fatn3ss The behavior was completely involuntary, he didn't mean it at all. You seriously have zero understanding of what autism is and how it works, you do not need to be telling people about autism if you yourseld don't know anything about it.
Yeah
How could someone that has disability, like me, get arrested if they do not know what they did?
Cops: so this kid with a condition that causes him to uncontrollably violent?
Cops: yeah lock me up
The one thing that makes me Mad about Autistics. Is that People say they can't control their own emotions !
That’s… not exactly what Autism is, but alright.

"When talking about the incident that led to John Benjamin’s arrest, Mr. Albright said he has been able to document 55 incidents committed by the boy while in the Okeechobee school system. “That’s only physical aggression against the other children or faculty,” he noted. Some of the documented incidents include kicking, biting, spitting and punching. The prosecutor then offered a few specific incidents.
• On one occasion, the boy kicked a male coach in the groin.
• The boy punched another student in the face.
• The boy stabbed another student with a pencil after he had just sharpened it and the pencil went through the other child’s jacket and punctured the skin.
• The boy intentionally stomped on a female teacher’s foot while wearing steel-toed boots and broke three of her toes. “Then, when she returned to work, he stomped on her same toes and said she deserved it,” said Mr. Albright.
• On two different occasions John Benjamin told teachers he was going to come back with a gun and kill them."
This is absolutely outrageous! Not only is he a child but he's a child with a special need and it is shameful to treat him (or any other child) like this! The situation could have been handled so much better than this.
What they did is illegal they did not even read him his Miranda rights
What they did was enforce a warrant that mommy was well aware of and admitted to in her interview. Wisely they didn't allow mom to get under their skin and get into a power struggle making matters worse.
The police report as well as the principal make it clear also, as well as Luanne Heygood"s own interview. Faced with the arrest she staid she thought the warrant was no longer outstanding and charges dropped. Though of course, no legal action had taken place and she'd received no notification of this. She just assumed it. Why? Possibly because the nut doesn't fall far from the tree. Before she started recording she went to the principals office confirmed it was still an opened warrant then starting recording. Funny how that works, that you only see what happens in the video after she turns the camera on. The complete interview of Luanne Haygood is on RUclips, as well as articles that interview the principal. and there is a pdf of the police report for John Benjamin Haygood online that all attest to this. If she' been smarter she'd have checked with the principal before returning to the scene of the crimes. The victims of the kids agression have rights to their safety at school too.
I've already posted a quotes of the 55 incidents of violence to other students and staff, 2 threats of returning to the school with a gun and 5 felony charges straight from the court proceedings.
I don’t believe people with autism should just get away with everythings but this is unacceptable, TO CALL THE COPS?!! People who bully people don’t even get arrested and yet they can cause su!cide. He was clearly having a sensory overload
if you find charges related to this child, which the mother claims were caused by one of his meltdowns, he has multiple counts of assault against teachers and students, was reported to have said he'd bring a gun to school and kill everyone, and stomped on his teachers toes, breaking three of them. Upon her return to school, he stomped on the same toes and said "she deserved it". He stabbed at other students with pencils and the mother, on top of this, knew there were charges and an arrest warrant for her son. Instead of taking him to the authorities and working it out, she allowed him to be arrested and handled in this manner. Additionally, the court offered he go to a counseling and therapy program and the charges would be dropped. His mother declined this. They were dropped anyways due to him being unfit to stand a trial in his over 60 documented incidents of violence between 2013 and 2016, involving other special needs children. His mother is an enabler and was looking for attention with this case, which ultimately led to him being further traumatized by police and government. Simply because a child is autistic does not mean they should be allowed to endanger people in this manner, including themselves. This child needs counseling, therapy and help. Obviously, either that school is not a good fit for him or his mother is allowing and enabling his behaviors at home, which will make him act in this manner at school.
I bet this was satisfying to the assistant teacher. Did YOU hear me, Assistant Teacher?! If you’re watching this, do you feel at bit SORRY for him?
He didnt do it to the teacher for no reason
You shouldn't be trying to restrain him. No teacher should be able to put hands on a child no matter what kind of student it is.
Whitney Waters, it could be a special needs school, my kid goes to a special needs school and the teachers can restrain, and move kids if necessary
Lesley Laurence Special needs kids should not be restrained. It can create a sense of mistrust and even hurt the child.
What do the officers gain out of this? Other than traumatizing a minor.
Having a child the same age with autism, this absolutely breaks my heart.
There is NOTHING that boy could have done to deserve that treatment. Hearing the fear and confusion broke my heart.
I have a younger brother with autism and I can't stand the thought of anyone hurting him like that.
"I didn't know I was going to be arrested like this."
This may indicate that he knew that his actions were wrong. The problem that some SST kids have is that their behavior is very bad for emotional or disability reasons but most of the students do know right from wrong.
Absolutely agree
Whf what do you expect from a boy like THAT??
Yes
I agree with LuAnne. No child should be sent to an adult jail, whether they have a disability or not.
People with Autism have something against getting touched. that was probably extremely violating for him.
so they say the officers did some something wrong by arresting him when he was attacking people and threatening to kill them?
they took it too far man way too far. If I was him I would never kick,punch,scratch,threatening to kill someone I also have atuism
If it was bullying, they wouldnt have done anything.
I love how they mention his autism. They shouldn't do this to any 10 year old, not just autistic ones.
@TheBestDamnMinecrafter Ah Sweden! Where two brothers under the age of ten famously stood accused of murder of a younger child in the “Kevin case”, decided only by a police interrogator with no parents or representatives present. No given right to a trial. Removed to foster care, where because they were only tried in the court of public opinion, never were taken in and ultimately returned to their family anyway. Twenty years of being treated as child murderers later, the the case is reexamined and it arises they were likely innocent, or nowhere near the murder, and exonerated,citing by extreme the tremendous flaws in the Swedish legal system regarding children.
There seems to be further misconception as to a recognition of the diagnosis of ASD. In fact, even after John Benjamin Haygood had been released from his few hours of custody to his mother, there was still no permanent clinical determination of ASD at that time that had been made. Luanne Haygood even commenting/ blaming everyone but herself in her social media account and subsequent interviews that John Benjamin Haygood’s Social Security benefits had been temporarily terminated, because she and her son failed to attend a scheduled determination hearing. The school likewise at the time recognizing him as having an undetermined mental illness / developmental disability on record, and on that file a post it note stating only that “The mother says he has autism” because a permanent diagnosis had yet to be clinically determined. Likewise to expect the officers to have specifically known he had ASD based on the information that could be confirmed would not be reasonable, and further would have made absolutely no difference in enforcing the warrant to take him into custody. Though even at the subsequent hearings a definitive answer was not forthcoming to the court for the record. It requiring the judge ordering that any confirmation that the boy was indeed autistic that it needed to be presented.
According to reports of the hearing:
“The prosecutor also asked Judge Jerald Bryant to require defense attorney Stephanie Langer to present documentation stating her client has been diagnosed as being autistic. At this point, the defense has only filed paperwork with the court stating Haygood has “mental disabilities.” The prosecutor also argued that, without those records: “How can I litigate my case?” Judge Bryant then ruled if the defense has records indicating Haygood has been diagnosed as being autistic, the defense must make them available to the state.”
My heart breaks for this family. I hope the little boy is doing ok❤️
That is absolutely rediculous. They should be ashamed treating a child like that let alone one with special needs
So, you think he should have been allowed to scratch out the eyes of the child he attacked? Why?
@@vivianavian6287 This is not the way to improve his behaviour. Anyone with a bit of knowledge about education (even mainstream education) knows this won't teach him anything, just traumatize him. It was months after his outburst, and the reasons for his arrest weren't even stated until it was all over. This is not discipline, it's torture.
PS: Also this vid doesn't mention him attacking a child, where did you get this from?
@@quinncreel6091 The actual news about what happened that day. You break the law, you need to be arrested. Don't want to be arrested? Then don't be a lawbreaker. It's not rocket science.

She should be facing the brunt of this for neglecting her sons special needs and allowing this to continue happening for years.
Next time, kid that is bullied is arrested for punching back at the bully
Seriously?!?!?! An ADULT jail cell! He's not even 13!
The mother: says oh I didn’t think either didn’t even sound she cared. The mother later: oh my God it was so traumatizing
Kay Cookie She was probably in shock and maybe denial.
Kay Cookie well if she reacted in such a way, her kid would have most likely fed off that energy and it could have ended worse for him. She reacted in a calm manor to keep her child calm as well
Christopher Gibbons gosh clam down
Kay Cookie I literally just replied to your comment. Why so defensive? 😂
Christopher Gibbons you know you didn’t have to reply😌
Police, don't arrest a kid with autism!!!!!
Mc world Just as much sympathy I have as you do. I’m afraid no matter what medical condition you have you can’t bend the law.
What if he had killed someone? Would you change your mind? Just curious
TeenMomTo baby.J HE WAS 10!!!
He doesn’t want to be touched by strangers
A symptom of his ASD or possibly in light of his household harboring white supremacist ideologies, just his reaction to a black sheriff's deputy? A child regardless of a developmental disability being a product of their environment.
There's a lot more to this case than this two year old article pridominently citing the mother of an accused felon took note of, much of which I have already posted in a comment. Not the least of which the boy twice threatened to return to his school with a gun and shoot people dead. His school only a 2 hours drive at most from Parkland, where Nikolas Cruz fatally shot 17 and injured just as many.
Here for instance we have a particularly telling example of the family’s social media, taken directly from the elder brother’s public account. On which the mother, Luanne Haygood, has also even posted and made acknowledgements. Also very accessible. She has also voiced her extreme pride in this son.
In his complete and unedited quote directly from his social media he says:
"Avery Haygood September 20, 2016 ·
I was fortunate enough at work today and able to pay for and serve Mr. Daniel carver and his family! Too bad I was to concentrated on my first impression (which I I did ) to ask for an autograph. Oh well. It still will always be a day Ill remember!"
In case you don't know who Daniel Carver is, he is a white nationalist and former Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan. Real nice family ties. White supremacy. What an influence for a mentally ill child with aggressive and violent tendencies huh? The kid is also undeniably a product of his environment, regardless of any developmental disability.
I feel bad for that boy
That’s what autism kids do because they don’t know that’s so scary for him he’s 10
I usually try and support law enforcement. But this is crazy.
Control your kid woman ! A simple suspension or whatever kids with autism need to help them but I know it is not going to jail !
Pick a side
I read more about the story and this child has gone to juvenile detention multiple times and was expelled from the school where this took place and he had to go to court for this. Meanwhile a kid in my school drop kicks a teacher and is not even sent to the principals office.
TheEmeraldMan382 See...the kid should get treatment in a mental hospital cause obviously Juvie isn't working.
my heart breaks for that poor lil guy! way to go mommabear!
WTF has this what the American School System Got to where they arrest Students
I’m autistic and that video makes me feel uncomfortable on how a lot of people mistreat autism as a poor and forbidden condition ☹️😞
I am too
He threatened to kill a teacher he should have spent a couple days in jail for that
Nobody under the age of 15 should go to jail even if it is serious crimes like murder. They need help and god knows what the teaching assistant did.
@@doremirse9950 No
This should apply to all kids under 15
also
fiy, autism is not a handicap
I am capable af and i am studying to become a detective. We're a bit different, that's all
educate urself
but we can have sensory issues and stuff like that, some of us can get extra agitated and maybe he felt threatened even if there was no threat, in his mind there was and he felt like he had to defend himself,.
What else do you expect?
The police having a party at jail waiting for him?
If I said the "F" word in front of my mom when I was 10, I wouldn't be typing this now
I have Autism myself and I think that the kid's school should be punished for discrimination of special needs children.
He cusses and his mom doesn’t say that he was wrong for punching him scratching the teacher I think the Jaul was extreme
He's autistic. The teacher was trying to RESTRAIN him. You don't restrain a child with autism.
Um people who don't understand even though he has autism that is still assault and you get arrested for that. It is equal to everyone in that state of law no matter what.
A kid in my class was being bullied and was calling on the teacher for help and my teacher told him to shut up....😂....
I'm autistic and as a child I was taken into police custody like this and it was honestly one of the most traumatizing things I've been through. I really hope the substitute teacher will be investigated because when a child lashes out like this, it's typically because they're being abused by the teacher. I had this happen to me too and I lashed out in the same way. It's so sad how you can see the fear in his eyes, no child should have to ever go through this. He was 10 years old. When will people learn?
