Newly released footage shows a 6-year-old crying and pleading with an officer to release her after she was arrested at her Orlando school. Kaia Rolle was restrained with zip ties last September after she kicked a teacher.
Body camera video shows school staff questioning the arrest of Kaia and obviously concerned for her wellbeing.
The video starts as the school resource officer walks into an office along with the OPD transport officer, where a school staff member is reading a book to the girl.
“Stand up,” Turner tells the girl.
“What are those for?” Kaia said, beginning to cry and looking down at the zip ties.
The child is shaking and crying as she’s walked to the Orlando police patrol car, pleading with the transport officer.
“Please, give me a second chance,” she said. “Please, let me go.”
Turner thanks the officer who came to take Kaia for booking and then walks back into the school, asking the employee who was reading to Kaia if she’s all right because she’s wiping away tears.
“I’m upset but I’m good,” she said.
Other school employees are asking where Kaia is being taken. Turner describes the juvenile processing center as “just a bunch of kids in there.”
