Kaylb Wiley Primm was in second grade in Kansas City when he started crying in class because he was being bullied. Within minutes, the child found himself in handcuffs. Two years later, his life is just getting back to normal.

The incident began when a school-based police officer happened to walk by Kaylbs classroom and hear him crying and disrupting other students, according to a lawsuit filed last week by the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of Kaylbs family. When Kaylb continued to cry and yell in the hallway, against the officers requests, the officer put the child in handcuffs and brought him to the main office, where he sat until a parent arrived.
