I think they were right. That little girl was out of control and tried to play the victim when the parents came, and they fell right for it. She most likely has a behavior problem in school all the time

So sick of bad-ass little children and ineffective parenting. You can’t teacher over disruptive and defiant behaviors. Call the cops to cuff the parents and fine them for the damage she did to school property.

I have to agree with the school officials and the police in this case.  The child was beyond out of control.  She basically assaulted a school official and had the potential to do more harm to herself and others.  If she had injured another child during “tantrum”, then there would definetly been an arrest and lawsuits against the school.  Maybe being handcuffed and detained should have shaken her up.  This little girl needs to understand the consequences of her actions; something her parents obviously are not teaching her.  Instead of expending energy in getting the laws changed; the parents need to focus on why this child is so out of control.  This is the typical response of parents who are failing to do their jobs at home, and then expect the world to handle their “baby” with kid gloves.  Teachers and school officials are responsible for the education and safety of all of the children in their care.  If this girl’s family don’t want her treated like a criminal, then they should focus on changing her behavior.

Also, if I were the principal that was hurt, I would file civil charges against the family.  These parent’s who send their little monsters to schools need to be held accountable for the problem children they have created.

Ummmm, I’m sorry but 6yrs old is a little too old to be throwing a tantrum! Parents expect school officials to control their bad a$$ kids, but then they cry wolf when the control is in a manner that they don’t approve of. People please get your own children under control at home first! smh…

Good kids too rude nowadays

Being a teacher, I know all too well how students can become extremely aggressive and be downright rude. The administration and police did the right thing.  I can’t fathom how they were supposed to calm this child down if they didn’t restrain her.  The six year old had run a muck!  

I agree with what the school authorities & police did. This child was physically threatening others by throwing ish around. The parents should be more concerned about their bad parenting than why the police handcuffed their child

Schools have every right to restrain a child who is a threat to his/her own safety and the safety of others. If a staff member would have touched her and accidentally put one scratch on her, the parents could sue. So, they did what they had to do.

I believe the school official was right in calling the police and the officer was right in handcuffing her. Whether she was 6-years-old or not, there could have been further damage and possible injury to, not only the child herself, but the staff. Not to mention, if the Principal/teacher attempted to restrain her, the
parent(s) would have been quick to scream “assault” or “unlawful
handling of a child”. They may have even gone as far as to accuse them
of fondling her. People fail to realize she may have learned a lesson, that should have been taught at home, so now she knows if she disrespects an authoritative figure, there will be consequences. She will also think about this the next time she gets into a position she doesn’t like and will react to it in a different manner. Teachers are overworked, underpaid, and risk their lives trying to make a way for children to have an education. This child was disrupting the education of her fellow classmates, so therefore was sent to the Principal’s office, and continued her tirade of ignorant and crass behavior. If she in fact does have behavioral issues, this should have been addressed by the parent(s) prior to her enrollment. If they did not know they need to find a doctor. If she always acts out, then this is a simple, and all too familiar, case of children not being disciplined well. Either because the parents are too young and irresponsible to raise them with any scruples or respect of their fellow man, or they’re raised by grandparents that are too old and possibly too unhealthy to properly raise a small child. She needs to respect her elders and authoritative figures before she grows up thinking this behavior is the norm or acceptable. Children especially need to respect the people trying to help them get an education that may lead to them become the next President, or even have a job in that matter. There are no laws for children in school settings, and obviously, the
behavior policy is not being enforced or is not taken too seriously by
the students. And anyone who tries to make this a race issue is reaching really far. I went to predominantly White schools my whole life and have seen just as many of them arrested, restrained, or put out of the school for behavior problems, drugs, and lack of participation. The Black community is always talking about “saving our sons” but what about our daughters?
