The Westerville Police Department is in hot water after deciding to handcuff a 7 and 8 year old and put them in a cell after a school bus fight in October. The two siblings allegedly became unruly, pushing the bus driver, cussing and threatening to punch the principal, according to court documents.
Tonya Mitchell, the 29-year old mother of the two children, says that the police department and Westerville School District violated her children’s rights, wrongfully imprisoned them and used excessive force in their handling of the situation. She says that the kids are now terrified and having nighmares after the incident.
