The Hawaii ACLU is demanding change after a 10-year-old Black girl who has ADHD was arrested at her elementary school after she drew an 'offensive sketch' of her alleged bully.

The girl, identified only as N.B., was reportedly detained and questioned by police at Honowai Elementary School in January 2020 without the presence of a parent.

She was also 'handcuffed with excessive force' and taken to the police station without being charged with a crime, the ACLU alleged in a letter to the Hawaii Police Department (HPD) and the state Department of Education (DOE) that was released Tuesday. 

The letter claimed officials violated N.B.'s constitutional rights and did not accommodate her federally protected disability - which had been documented with the school. 

The girl's mother, Tamara Taylor, was also illegally detained, according to the legal advocacy group. 

According to the ACLU, N.B. was being bullied by another student and allegedly participate in an offensive drawing of that child.

'The next day, a parent of one of the kids who received this drawing, was very upset and essentially demanded that they call the police,' attorney Mateo Caballero, who is representing Taylor and her daughter, told Hawaii News Now.

School staff called Taylor and asked to come to the property because 'they were thinking about calling the police,' the ACLU alleges.

The mother reportedly asked the not to call the cops and headed to the property.

When she arrived, responding officers allegedly told Taylor they were negotiating with the other parent about the situation involving N.B. and that she wasn't allowed to see her daughter.

Once Taylor was released from the room, she learned that officers were taking N.B. to the Pearl City Police station, where she was ultimately released to her mother.

The ACLU claims N.B. was handcuffed with excessive force that left marks and, after being in custody for nearly four hours, left hungry and exhausted.
