This wasn't 'just a tantrum' and the girl was not arrested.
The schools are bastions of liability and lawsuit. The teacher already did all she could and didn't do anymore becuase if she did she would be in a world of shit. Since the mother was far off, they got the cops. The child couldn't be trusted to remain seated and not continue breaking and ruffling things up, so they cuffed her to prevent further property damage. Bear in mind, this is a tantrum bad enough that the response necessitated exceeds the authority of the school. How is the cuffing unjustified?
