We only hear the granparent's side of the story. I'd like to hear the school's side also.

Grandmother says she found diabetic grandson handcuffed at Wise Primary School

A Wise County great-grandmother told the School Board Monday night that she found her diabetic great-grandson handcuffed when she arrived at Wise Primary School a few days ago.

According to the Bristol Herald-Courier Olympia Litos said her 9-year-old great-grandson was apparently restrained in the office following disruptive behavior shortly after he arrived at school. She said the child suffers adverse effects from medication he takes to control his blood glucose levels.

Litos said she was called to the school to pick up the child after an administrator told her he would not be abused by the student.

"He was in a chair, handcuffed," she told the board. "That was excessive force. It was against the law."
