Here's a good thermometer to tell if the force was unnecessary - My neighbor girl loves to come over and hang out after school here. I was watching the videos of this kid while she was here and she and her friend and my daughter came over to watch. One is 10 yrs old, one is 9 yrs old, and my daughter is 4. All of them said "Where's her mom? Why didn't she come?" and then later. "If I did something like that I'd be grounded for a week." So without telling them what I thought I said "Do you think it was ok that they put handcuffs on her?" The consensus was YES- she asked for it. If KIDS, who commonly express indignance at "unjust" grounding think that this girl needed to be restrained in such a way then why would we be upset about it?
I just thought it was interesting that these kids were shocked at the girls behavior - Obviously even they recognize that it's not normal or appropriate.
