the kid was being a little shit.
That said, she's a child. They weren't arresting her, so the handcuffs were to keep her from injuring people.
She's FIVE.
If three big cops and an educator were afraid of being hurt by a five year old, they need to find a new line of work.
Did the kid need to be calmed down? No question.
Did the kid need to be slammed on a table and cuffed? Hell no.
You want to jail a five year old for throwing a temper tantrum? Are you serious? Kids throw tantrums. Throwing them in the slammer is NOT the way to deal with it.
