One of the two was handcuffed after throwing a tantrum and kicking a teacher, the girl’s grandmother told US media.
The officer, Dennis Turner, was suspended as officials said he did not secure the necessary permissions to arrest the two.
Prosecutors say they will try to erase the arrests from their records.
Both children were charged with misdemeanor battery. Little about the other arrest – which was in a separate incident – has been made public.

“The children will not be prosecuted, and just as importantly I am looking into options that may reverse the legal damage such as removing the arrest from the children’s records,” said State Attorney Aramis Ayala in a news conference.
Police Chief Orlando Rolón said in a statement: “As a grandparent of three children less than 11-years-old this is very concerning to me. Our department strives to deliver professional and courteous service.”
