An Orlando elementary school resource officer has been suspended after arresting two children, an 8-year-old and a 6-year-old, and accusing them of misdemeanors in two separate incidents.
State Attorney Aramis Ayala said Monday that her office would not prosecute the misdemeanor battery charges against either child."I refuse to knowingly play any role in the school-to-prison pipeline at any age," she said."These very young children ought to be protected, nurtured and disciplined in a manner that does not rely on the criminal justice system to do it.

She claims the first-grader was arrested, fingerprinted and had mugshots taken -- however police say the child was not processed. The Orlando Police Department oversees the school resource officer who made the arrest, and they say the situation was not handled properly.
