WILLIAMSBURG, Va. - Police arrested an 8-year-old boy who allegedly had a violent outburst in school, head-butting his teacher and kicking an assistant principal, when he was told he couldn't go outside to play with other students.

The 4-foot pupil was led away from Rawls Byrd Elementary School in handcuffs Tuesday and charged with disorderly conduct and assault and battery.

"It's not something that happens every day," Maj. Stan Stout said of what could be the department's youngest arrest ever.

Stout said the chair-tossing, desk-turning outburst occurred after a teacher, and later the assistant principal, attempted to stop the boy from joining his classmates.

The child was later released to his parents.

Hmm...is this really a tantrum or an assault.

If only they had more on this article. Or maybe I should find another site to share you good people my annoying news

Who says the school didn't notify the parents? This kid wasn't just having a cry, he was physically injuring someone, also damaging the school.

He is a kid... so what? should we let kids get away with anything? Hopefully this expierience will teach the kid a lesson.
