At Baldwin South Intermediate School in Quincy Illinois a 9 year old autistic child was taken from his special needs classroom with bruises all over his face and incarcerated after he was beat up by police.

The incident began when Roger Parker, Jr. had some sort of unpleasant experience which lead to an outburst, where the teachers had difficulty keeping him under control.
They tried to isolate him in some kind of time out area, which probobly made the situation even more scary and confusing for him.  When he tried to get out of this time out area by climbing a dividing wall police were already there to attempt to subdue him.

At that point police officer Calkins ripped the child from the wall by his limbs like a ragdoll, causing his face to smash against the wall, which resulted in a massive black eye .  He was then wrestled to the ground by police and taken into custody.

The boy was detained and booked for aggravated battery against a police officer and his family was denied access to him for a certain period of time.  Mother Brandi Kirchner told news station KHQA that “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. He was fingerprinted, photographed, and booked for aggravated battery to a police officer.”
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.  Since the incident she has removed her son from the Quincy Public School system and is investigating home schooling options.
