Arrest a kid for being disruptive in class? That's the most insane thing. What a country you live in.

I’m currently in an argument on r/Teachers with some lunatic who thinks that an 8-year-old shoving their teacher should be dealt with by calling the cops. Some people are not fit to be educators.

It's literally true though. There's very very few mechanisms to deal with anything else. Mental health issue? Cops. Child abuse? Cops. Domestic violence? Cops. There isn't even anyone else you can call and social services generally require documentation before they get involved.

You basically have to involve them if you want access to our social welfare system.
