A 6-year-old Florida girl was committed for 2 days to a mental health facility without her mother's consent after allegedly throwing a temper tantrum at school, an attorney for the family says.
According to Reeves, Falk was not called and informed about the incident until after Nadia had been committed to the facility.
"She can only tell you bits and pieces. 'Mommy, they locked the door. They wouldn't let me out. Mommy, they gave me a shot,'" Falk said. Tracy Pierce, with Duval County Public Schools, told NBC News that the decision to have Nadia committed under the Baker Act did not come from school district personnel or police.
"The officers in the video were not present during the events which motivated the school to call Child Guidance. The police officers were also not present when Child Guidance was intervening with the student," Pierce said."The student was calm when she left the school, but at that point, child Guidance had already made the decision to Baker Act based on their intervention with the student.
