The story about a 6-year-old girl from Jacksonville, Florida, being committed to a mental health facility shocked the Internet. Martina Falk, the little girl’s mother, told the media that her daughter was traumatized and does not understand why the school took such extreme measures.
School officials claimed that the 6-year-old was so uncontrollable they didn’t know what else to do. The decision was ultimately made by a third-party licensed mental health professional.
