From someone who was a complete brat at that age, and suffered many many times at the hands of my parents, you have to start using force at one point or another.
You cannot let a child go charging around like that unrestricted, it's not fair on anyone. The school can't do squat beyond telling her to calm down, hell, they could probably get sued by some idiot for that. Anyone who's raised an unruly child will tell you how hard it is to shut them the hell up.
In my opinion, the police were completly justified in handcuffing her, and as someone else said, if that was my child, i'd be more embarressed the little git had behaved so badly as to get the police involved.
Note: Please excuse the cursing, bad day.
