If you have a watched the news in the past 5 days, you have probably seen the 5 year old brat (yes, I called her a brat) who trashed an office, hit an assistant principle and threw her little tantrum on video tape for the whole world to see. She ended up in handcuffs and all over the news.
The mother of the 5-year-old brat who was handcuffed at school by police has withdrawn her daughter from Pinellas public schools and is now moving out of state.
On Monday morning, the Largo lawyer representing the girl's mother appeared on five network news shows. He returned wearily to his office to find a fax from the mother, 24-year-old Inga Akins, stating he had been fired. The fax had been sent from the tabloid TV show A Current Affair, on which the mother appeared Friday and Monday. The mother was reportedly paid to do that interview. With the smell of media attention in the air, came the prospect that the Rev. Al Sharpton would be coming to town.
The case of the handcuffed little girl was the top story on "A Current Affair" Monday night, with images of the girl smelling a flower and running through a park laughing. Laughing all the way to the bank probably. The show interviewed a child psychologist who said the handcuffing might be racially motivated. A Current Affair also said the girl "had to flee her home to escape the media." Unless that media is "A Current Affair" and willing to pay for an interview.
The whole video is about 28 mins long. All we see on the news is part of it. There is nothing racial about this and for anyone to claim otherwise is false and destructive. A white 5 year girl acting like that would still be a brat in need of some serious discipline. Should the police had handcuffed her? I don't know. It's seems a bit harsh but I did not have to put up with the girl. What I do know is the mother should not profit from her daughter's bad behavior in any way and if I was judging this case I'd sentence to the girl to a good old fashion spanking and the mother to some parenting classes. Maybe we could air that on "A Current Affair" so people can see what happens when you act like a brat.
