Boy with autism arrested for assault after police called to classroom

A Quincy mother is upset over the way she said school officials treated her son who has autism during an incident Friday at Baldwin South Intermediate School.

Brandi Kirchner said that her 9-year-old son Roger Parker, Jr. had “a meltdown” during class. School officials sent him to a special area to calm down.

The boy climbed a dividing wall and the school called in a police officer to deal with him, the mother said. In the attempt to pull Roger off the wall, the officer pulled the boy by his arms and legs, causing him to hit his eye on the divider, Kirchner said.

The officer then tried to restrain the boy when Roger swung around and kicked the officer in his nose, Kirchner said.

Kirchner said the officer pulled her son to the floor. He was handcuffed and taken to the police station. She had to go to the station to get her son.

“I asked to see my son. Forty-five minutes later, after they told me he did not need a parent present because he was under arrest and not being interrogated,” she said. “He was fingerprinted, photographed and booked for aggravated battery to a police officer.”

Quincy Public School District interim superintendent Cal Lee said that the school is conducting an investigation. Details of that investigation or the actions taken will not be released to the public.

Kirchner said she is upset because she recently discussed a plan on how to handle her son if he has an outburst. She believes the plan wasn’t followed and she has concerns that police placed her son in handcuffs before she was ever contacted.

“You just can’t handle them like they are a regular gen-ed student,” she said. “They require special attention. And if anybody is going to be in that aspect and dealing with them, they need to have the proper training to deal with them before stepping into the classroom.”

Kirchner removed her son from the Quincy Public School system and is investigating home schooling options.

Brandi said that she plans to request an investigation by the Quincy Police Department.

Tuesday, Quincy Police Chief Rob Copley revealed more details of the case.

Copley says it took several attempts before Officer Bill Calkins restrained Parker and handcuffed him. Copley says Parker’s mother was called immediately after and told to come to the police department.

Parker was taken into custody, but Copley says he was not photographed or finger printed.

“It’s a fine line whether you call it an arrest. He was a juvenile.He was not finger printed. He was not photographed with the mug shot camera. He was not taken into jail. He was taken into custody. He was brought to police headquarters where the appropriate paperwork was filled out so we could forward the reports to the probation department and then he was released to his mother,” Copley said.

Many parents have questioned the actions of the officer against a child with special needs. Copley says Officer Calkins has gone through training to handle similar situations.

“We receive what’s called CIT training, crisis intervention training, which deals with a whole host of behavioral disorders and situations with individuals,” he said. “Certain officers receive more detailed CIT training than others. Our entire department is not trained as CIT officers, however, Officer Calkins, who is the officer we’re talking about is a trained CIT officer.”

The arresting officer remains in his normal duties at Baldwin.

KHQA also reached out to the Quincy School District. Superintendent Cal Lee said he’s continuing to read through witness accounts.

Lee says the school has plans in place for students with special needs, and in many classrooms, teacher assistants called “Star Guides” are also on hand to help. He says there were star guides in the room during Friday’s incident.

    The teachers in that classroom need to be re-trained on not being afraid in their jobs. Better yet get some in who know what they are doing. I have handled autistic children in melt-down situations and the first thing you must do as an adult it not to lose focus on getting the child calm or they will know it instantly. This situation would never have advanced this far under ANY circumstance if those in charge of the boy had the faintest idea as to what they were supposed to be doing to serve his needs. Sorry, if that sounds harsh, but I take Rogers’ side in this. He needs to have confidence that those around him are trustworthy and capable. I am glad his mother is considering homeschooling.
    Brandi, your local Christian School may be able to give you info on a good curriculum. It can save you a lot of research.
    Bob Jones math is a superior program. I finally started having the mystery of math click for myself as I taught it to my children. lol.

    Oh, come on, now, you Americans! Get educated. This includes America’s Police. Go onto AUTISMSPEAKS.ORG. This will help, immensely, with how a child should be treated. The extreme measures that took place in this incident (as many that I have read), is due to the person at the school who called the Police, in the first place. These so-called educated? professionals? set the child off in the first place. Mainstreaming is not the answer to Special Needs children in some area schools. They are only as good as the trained? persons handling the situations. Parents, home school your children. After all… the school district gets money for your child’s bench being occupied. Did you know that? But then… they abuse your child, too, by calling the Police? Police are NOT going to handle the situation properly. CIT or no CIT. The Police State is all misconstrued in America. I know for a fact. This 70 yr old, Handicapped Granny, was falsely taken to County jail in handcuffs, too. No Miranda Rights given, either. Was this child read any Miranda?

    This make me want to cry. Our society is lost.. These children will not have a future if it continues like this..

    This kind of shit does not surprise me in the least. The most vulnerable are the easiest to criminalize torture and murder with impunity. The true crooks can be found amongst the cops at the bottom level and Presidents, CEOs, Judges etc.. at the so called top.

    POLICE HAS RIGHTS??

  6. John says:

    The police state doesn’t discriminate even with 9 year olds.

  7. John says:

    Even the young kids are being caught up in our new police state.
