Who the hell does this sort of thing?  Do they really get their jollies off of scaring kids like this?

The parents of two Bronx preschoolers are suing the city, charging that their kids were tossed out of class - and handcuffed by a school-safety officer - for refusing to take a nap.

Lawyer Scott Agulnick said Jaden Diaz and Christopher Brito - both then 4 and students at CS 211, The Bilingual School - told their parents that a substitute teacher took them and another boy to an empty classroom on Nov. 17, 2006, and left them there alone.

Soon, the lawyer said, the school-safety officer entered the room, cuffed the boys' wrists - and further terrified them by telling they that they would never see their parents again.

"I wasn't shot, but my hands were tied," Christopher, now 5, recalled, according to his mother, Vasso Brito, a 34- year-old office worker - who says the little guy is now scared of police officers.

This is the problem with having police officers in schools where crime is generally low anyway.  They get bored, and then start looking for ways to fill their time.  When you think that refusing to nap becomes and arrestable offense, then you know you're not needed any more.  Of course in reality these were "public safety officers", not actual police officers, which is even worse.  These guys tend to make Barney Fife look qualified.
