A Florida grandmother is livid after her 6-year-old granddaughter was arrested and charged with battery after throwing a "tantrum" in class.

Meralyn Kirkland said her granddaughter Kaia's incident began at her school, Lucious and Emma Nixon Elementary charter school.

“[I said] What do you mean she was arrested? He said, ‘there was an incident and she kicked somebody and she is being charged and she is on her way,'” Kirkland told WFLA. “She has a medical condition that we are working on getting resolved. So he says, ‘What medical condition?' I said, "She has a sleep disorder, sleep apnea,’ and he says, ‘Well I have sleep apnea and I don’t behave like that."

The grandmother also revealed that her granddaughter was handcuffed, fingerprinted, and had a mugshot taken.

“No 6-year-old child should be able to tell somebody that they had handcuffs on them and they were riding in the back of a police car and taken to a juvenile detention center to be fingerprinted, mug shot," she said.

Kaia has since returned home.
