The article is almost misleading. The child was throwing a tantrum for over an hour while the assistant principal and teachers tried to calm her down. When it got too out of hand and their attempts to calm her failed, police came and handcuffed her.
The mother's lawyer said that handcuffing the child was traumatic for the child. The kid was acting like a psycho already! I don't think a handcuff will send her over the edge, she leaped over long before.
The girl was swinging at the teachers and the only way to keep her still
was to handcuff her. What else should they have done?
Would it have been better if teachers used corporal punishment? Media manipulation on this one it seems to me.
