‘You Fu**ers!’ Wild CO 8-Year-Old Pepper Sprayed at School After Outburst

“Just kind of like whenever anybody upsets me. Like I just kind of want to tear them apart… I think it’s not ever going to go away… It’s just who I am.”
That’s the confession of 8-year-old Aidan from Lakewood, CO. And on February 22, he tore a classroom apart in his attempt to tear his teachers apart. In fact, he apparently got so wild, he fashioned himself a weapon out of the wood trim and was trying to “stab” teachers. He also threw chairs and a TV. When police arrived on scene to defuse the situation, they pepper sprayed the second-grader:
Local station 9News explains what led cops to that drastic action:
Aidan “was climbing the cart and spitting at teachers. He also broke wood trim off the walls and was trying to stab teachers with it.”
“I wanted to make something sharp if they came out because I was so mad at them,” Aidan said. “I was going to try to whack them with it.”
The report goes on to say Aidan, “was holding what looked like a sharpened one foot stick and he screamed, ‘Get away from me you f—ers.’”
Lakewood Police officers ordered the 8-year-old to “drop the stick.” When he refused, they sprayed him with pepper spray twice until he dropped the piece of wood and was handcuffed.
Naturally, Aidan’s mom, Mandy, isn’t happy.
“I‘m sure what he was doing wasn’t right, but he’s 8 years old,” Mandy told 9News. “They walked in, asked him to drop the stick, and then sprayed him with the spray… I think it’s excessive.”
But a spokesman for the Lakewood police department doesn’t think so, especially considering the situation.
“I think they not only made the right choice, they made a great choice that day to use the pepper spray,” Steve Davis told the station.
As Gawker says, maybe Davis could have chosen better words than “they made a great choice,” but that doesn’t erase his argument. Especially considering police have been called to the school before to respond to Aidan’s outbursts. Twice.
Aidan has now been moved to a school for children with behavioral issues.
As a side note, I lived in Lakewood for a year recently. I can tell you that the reputation of the Lakewood PD around the Colorado suburbs — and within the law enforcement community that I was friendly with — isn’t spotless, but that’s not because the department is known for being brutal, kid-beating thugs. Mostly, the impression I got is that the LPD is a little more full of itself: each officer must have a four-year degree and is technically called an “agent.” They’re stuck up, is what other current and former law enforcement officials told me.
But in the end, being a little cocky isn’t a crime — as long as you’re preventing or responding to them. Even if they involve 8-year-olds.
What do you think?

Posted on April 6, 2011 at 11:51amThis kid may have some food allergy or something. My niece had been pretty uncontrollable, flying into a rage or a screaming crying tantrum until my sister started her on a gluten, wheat and preservative free diet. She is now 10 years old and doing much better. She has also had some counseling about her rage and she has learned to announce that she is feeling angry and has to be left alone for a couple minutes to get herself together. It works. She even says how much better she feels. She is also extremely intelligent and keeping a continuing flow of information to her seems to help as well! Don’t get me wrong, I voted to spray, but the parents have to get a handle on what is causing this behavior. It takes a lot of effort and is exhausting for my sister, but my niece is doing so much better it is worth it to her. Good luck to these parents, I hope they take this as a wake-up call and do something so the boy can have a somewhat normal life.

So, your niece is going to go thru her life believing the world revolves around her and everyone needs to adjust according to HER moods? That’s NOT even “a somewhat normal life.”
Children who don‘t learn that it’s not an “all about me” world, and early on, face harsh reality checks when they find out that the world won’t dance to their “all about me” tune in their adult years.

This kid didn’t learn a lesson at all, either. He’s got more attention now.

Posted on April 7, 2011 at 12:32amI don’t see any hope for this kid. He has learned that he can do whatever he wants, and those in charge will be afraid to touch him. Maybe he learned something from the pepper spray, but I fear it will be short lived. The bright spot I see in this is the rest of the class. Think about what they learned. There will be those that will try to get away with the same kind of behavior, but won’t be able to carry it off. However, most of them will see behavior that is absolutely NOT acceptable. Those that were afraid of him will be tramatized for a time will come out of the experience stronger.

He is quite sure he is on the right track and the rest of the world is wrong, at 8 no less. Frightens me no end. The teachers can do nothing. They will be blamed and lose their job if they even tell him NO!They are smart to lock themselves away and call the police.

I think most of you are totally wrong about this necessarily being the parents’ fault. They may have played a small role, but some people are just born evil. No one is absolutely beyond redemption, but it isn’t very likely that these sociopathic types will change over their lifetime.
The best our society can do with individuals like this is lock them up for life before they do any real damage. When this kid gets popped for his first adult crime at 17 or 18, make sure he is sentenced to the max and do not let him out on parole. Minimize the damage he can do.
The idea of early release/ parole is antithetical to our once just society anyhow. It violates the sanctity of the jury’s verdict.
I also don’t oppose the idea of public whippings and hangings, not just for capital murder. They used to hang horse thieves in my state. Execution for heinous crimes other than murder is a perfectly legal and ethical way to rid the society of sociopaths before they get to a Ted Bundy level body count.

While I agree the taser was excessive, I cannot tell you how scary it can be when kids are totally out of control and you have to worry not only about your own safety but also that of the children in the room. I have seen kids throw desks and books, kick, bite, and so on. As a teacher, you can’t help but be almost afraid to touch them because you know that you can be accused of abusing or assaulting the child and lose your career or worse – even if you are just trying to control the child and protect others.

“They treated him like a common criminal.” Maybe, because he ACTED like a common criminal. This kid needs discipline intervention before he grows up or he will be another statistic or jail-mate.

I give my children the stability of routine, and the guidance of discipline. I actually do my job as a parent. Everywhere I go people are always amazed at how well behaved my kids are. So this Kid needs some serious intervention, and his parents need to get some help as well as grow a pair. If they don’t we will hear about this kid again, after he murders his parents for telling him no video games.

Posted on April 6, 2011 at 10:43amThe kid needs to make the connection between action and consequence. Trying to kill your teacher does have a consequence and pepper spray is getting off light. That mother needs to wake up to reality that her kid is a future inmate and start taking responsibility for his upbringing (whether that means getting some real parenting skills or finding appropriate medication and counceling). This is the 3rd time police have been called to deal with his tantrum? That’s not normal…

Pepper spray that takes down a full size man should not be used on a child. If trained police officers can not restrain a 8 year old boy then they need more training. Having 14 years of martial arts training I can tell you this could of been handle a lot better with less pain to the child and no one getting harm. The kid has issues that he cant help and needs help, I have known people like this and hurting them doesn’t help the issue.

Posted on April 6, 2011 at 2:33pmThis little brat wanted his way, he wanted attention, and guess what, he got it.
Its pretty obvious that his mother doesn’t have a damn clue how to discipline the kid. She probably doesn’t see the “death threats” at home because she gives in before he gets a chance to escalate it to that level. At school, the teachers aren’t allowed to discipline their students, so kids that don’t get discipline at home get to run wild at school.
I really can’t understand how a group of full-grown adults could be afraid of a 4ft tall 80 pound kid with a piece of wood trim “shank”…just grab his wrist, and give him a big swat on the butt. Then, explain to him that destroying the classroom is not acceptable, and threatening or attempting to hurt people is not acceptable either. Then parade him in front of the class and explain, calmly, to everyone that what this kid did was wrong, and then make him apologize to the whole class for disrupting their lessons. Then call the parents, and send him home for the day. Make him make up his day’s work after school later that week.
Is it really that difficult?

This indignant, smug little brat says “I don’t think its every going away” with a giant grin on his face because all he did was put on a little performance, and he had an entire faculty of adults terrified, wringing their hands, calling police…the little brat has them under his spell.

Homeschool him instead of sending him to public school wasting the taxpayers money and robbing the productivity of the other students and teachers.
I’ll venture to make a prediction if nothing changes he will end up in jail or face down the street after a shootout with police.

Posted on April 6, 2011 at 11:18pmHe is still a child. He should not have been tazered or pepper sprayed. No doubt he picked this out of control behavior up from his parent(s). However, the police should have been allowed to grab him, pull him over their knee and spanked his a** real good. The problem is schools are not allowed to spank any longer and parents do not either. Any damage he does should be brought against the parents. When he is 13 then take him to juvy and make him pay for the damages. The mom or dad may need a good a@@ spanking as well.

We are trained in a way to bring the student down without harming them but this is when they have no stick to stab us.
It was appropriate intervention as this kid needs psychiatric help and there are programs in the school system but I need to say they have backgrounds and usually do not change and are just “managed”.
We have had to pull students like this that beat on other students before the school resource officer is there.
