They cuffed her becuase she couldn't be trusted to sit there unrestrained. There were three officers because the child needed to be dealt with by more than a firm voice, and if there are three, she could be handled with a lower probability of incurring physical harm. This was more than 'just a tantrum'. These people weren't out to get her or provoke her. The school did all that it could do within it's authority yet the child failed to respond appropriately. She neccesitated measures more extreme than commonly used on wee kids becuase her behavior was more extreme than commonly done by wee kids. She isn't some crying victim in a jail cell. I suppose letting a cuffed eight year old punk sweat in the rear of a cruiser while the bike he stole is returned to it's owner is grounds for a lawsuit too. Good lord they could develop a complex!
