Lawsuit says security guard in Chicago school handcuffed first-graders

From The Chicago Tribune: The attorney for a family suing Chicago Public Schools over the alleged handcuffing of a first-grader in 2010 says the boy was among several 6- and 7-year-olds detained and handcuffed for hours for talking in class. Attorney Michael Carin says officials at Carver Primary School authorized an on-campus security guard in March 2010 to discipline some first-graders who were being disruptive. Carin says the school's security officer removed the students from class and held them in another office on campus where there were no other adults present. Carin said the students were handcuffed for hours and told that "they were going to prison and would never see their parents again."
