A boy threatening teachers and students with a sharpend stick is something else entirely.
"Aidan and his mother went on national talk shows on Wednesday to say using pepper spray on an unruly 8-year-old was too much."
He needs help, so does his mother.
Colorado police pepper-spray misbehaving boy, 8
Associate Press -DENVER (AP) — The staff at the Colorado elementary school said no one could calm 8-year-old Aidan Elliott.
He had just thrown a TV and chairs and was now trying to use a cart to bust through a door to an office where teachers had taken some young students for safety.
They called the police.
The officers found him with a foot-long piece of wood trim with a knife-like point in one hand and a cardboard box in the other.
"Come get me, f-----," he said.
When they couldn't calm him down, one squirted Aidan with pepper spray. He blocked it with the cardboard box.
A second squirt hit the youngster in the side of the head, and down he went, according to an account of the Feb. 22 standoff in a police report first obtained by KUSA-TV.
