I went back, read the article again, view the videos again, and read the comments. I do not understand those who think that the handcuffing was not deserved. I have a feeling that most of those who stated as such are not parents nor have worked with difficult children ever. The handcuffing was a LESSON, not an intent to jail and prosecute. The parent had a chance to come get her child and a warning that security would be called if she did not come. She knows how her child can behave. I really hope the suit does not go through. I feel so bad for those educators.

IF anything the school should be sueing the parents for lost pay, classroom time (which will probably take at least a few days to catch up on material), stress, and damage to property. Are those parents replacing the teacher's ceramic apple? I have a feeling they aren't. What about the time spent cleaning up after her destruction in the office. That girl won't change her behavior because the parents won't take responsibility for it or teach her to do so as well.

I found it interesting that in the video the officer said to the girl "You remember me? I'm the one who told you're mother that I would handcuff you..." What does that tell you? The mother had warning that this would happen or he's had to deal with this child before. She has NO right to sue because her daughter did this again and she didn't want to come stop it. The child even fought the officers who were putting the handcuffs on. Other children woudl cry of course but most I know would probably be limp and contrite when put in handcuffs by an officer. She has no respect for any authority and will be a danger to herself and others.
