How can she justify suing for millions of dollars.

False arrest.
The false arrest/imprisonment tort says false arrest is "An Unlawful Restraint Of A Person's Liberty Or Freedom Of Movement."
The kid wasn't doing anything to necessitate handcuffs. The handcuffs restrained her freedom of movement.
She can then heap emotional suffering on top of that (I dunno about you but if I were 5, I'd have the everlovin' CRAP scared out of me if three big uniformed cops came in and slapped cuffs on me)
So yeah, the lawsuit is justified. Completely.
And before you guys start yelling at me that I'm sympathising with the woman - - not even close. She's a pathetic excuse for a mother. Which is why this situation is even more unfortunate - - -they've given this reprobate a legitimate reason to sue, and a legitimate reason to insist that it's all the school's fault. What were they thinking?
