Autistic Child Left In Police Car For Hours After Violent School Arrest, Sparking Lawsuit

The family of an 11-year-old autistic boy in Colorado has filed a lawsuit against the Douglas County school district after the student was violently arrested and left in a car for hours. Police representatives say they were told he had stabbed another student with scissors, when in fact he had simply scratched someone with a pencil, according to reports.
A classroom spat in August 2019 resulted in the child, referred to as A.V. in the lawsuit, poking another student with a pencil and being referred to the school psychologist. The principal called resource officers Sidney Nicholson and Lyle Peterson and told them that A.V. had “stabbed another student.”

So who is Lyle Peterson (Tubal Cain)?
He is an American retired metalworking teacher. I think his later videos dropped the Tubal Cain name after complaints. Whilst the name is Biblical, Tom Walshaw used it for 50 years and although it was disrespectful of Tom, I don´t think he was aware of him.
mrpete still uses the monica Tubalcain ( no space between ) It is in every title of his video s.

DENVER â The ACLU of Colorado filed
a lawsuit Tuesday against the Douglas County School District (DCSD), Douglas County sheriff and multiple school resource officers (SROs) after an 11-year-old with autism was handcuffed and left in a patrol car for hours in August 2019.
The 11-year-old Hispanic child became so dysregulated that he banged his head repeatedly and sustained injuries, the lawsuit reads. Officers brought the child to a juvenile detention center. He was placed in custody until his parents posted a $25,000 bond, according to the lawsuit.
