Mediaite reports:
Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno called for a return to “old school” discipline following the weekend arrest of a 10-year-old in Florida for threatening a school shooting via text message. The mugshot of the 10-year-old was released and he was made to do a “perp walk” on camera in handcuffs, something Marceno said he has no regrets about.
The sheriff called for a return to “old school” discipline multiple times in the Tuesday interview with Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy, saying parents and guardians are “afraid to discipline their kids” today.
“When I was growing up, the nun hit you with a ruler, a wooden ruler,” the sheriff said. “You understood what was right and wrong. And today what do we do? Society says if your parent disciplines you and there’s any kind of abuse, come forward so we can report your parent.”

As I noted in yesterday’s report on the arrest of the fifth grader, Marceno, a close ally of DeSantis, calls himself “Florida’s law and order sheriff” and is fond of tweeting photos of himself in riot gear.
Note that in the clip below that Fox News, perhaps fearing a lawsuit, blurred the photo of the arrested boy.
This guy apparently sees himself as the second coming of Joe Arpaio, so don’t be surprised when he also runs for Congress.
