Several Chicago media sources have been reporting about six and seven years old students who are being handcuffed for hours, and told they will never see their parents again.

Allegedly the Chicago Public Schools officials decided they needed their school police officers to get tough on the Carver Primary School students.  The kids were handcuffed for hours after they were told to stop talking in class.

At least one family is suing the school district.  They say their son was handcuffed and threatened with never seeing his parents.  The incident happened in 2010.  The family says their appeals to the school district have been totally ignored, and the lawsuit is their last resort.
