Ill put the system on trial.
This line calls for a few good comebacks, I'll just put them down as I go along.
1. Will this be when you two are in sixth or seventh grade together?
2. Will this happen after you drive to the school drunk off your Hi-C?
That's hilarious, they need all that BS for handling a 5 year old girl, how the are you going to arrest a 5 year old girl.
Did the assistant principal and teacher cry to the cops after being kicked or hit by a 5 year old girl?
Then the mother said...wow...what a jackass...."THEY SET MY BABY UP"
This is a mental health issue and the use of restraints is reasonable.
IF I WAS ACTUALLY THERE to witness the situation, I'd share more, except I'll continue to say .....
As much as I don't want to see my children in handcuffs, I don't want them traumatized by children of mothers with claims "my baby was set up."
So you'd rather have them traumatized by being cuffed and being arrested?
Look, if my my kid is kicking people and throwing in a kindergarten classroom, the traumatization is already done.
Pretend you have a child in said classroom, how would you want it handled?
Execute the child. This sort of erratic behavior indicates a possible threat to society in the future. We can't take any risks.
lmao@ spurm.
So you're for the death penalty now Spurm? Damnit!!! :p
I think Manny gets it. Thats exactly what it was, a temper tantrum. And you don't deal with a child throwing a tantrum by calling the police and handcuffing them. Thats freaking ridiculous. She probably is used to getting her way and that would have been real apparent the minute she started freaking out on having her jelly beans taken away. Thats mommy and daddy's fault. I know elementary schools don't tolerate that behavior (Child Care centers use different methods and approach it other ways) at all but they usually call up the parents to come get their child or send them to the principal's office, they don't have them taken away.
I deal with situations like that daily and I've dealt with children who get way out of control MANY a time and I've been able to calm a child down after having him throw his shoes at me, kick the tables, throw things everywhere, scratch and bite me. Sometimes I physically restrain them (not harsh or hurtful, just firmly) and let them know they are not going to hurt me or anyone else and hold them till they calm down. I don't have kids of my own but I know I am not gonna stand for it when I do, so like if I'm gonna let someone else's kids hit on me. But at the same time I don't call up SAPD to deal with the child. Its just a matter of how you handle it. I see kids who know better than to act that way with me or my other teacher, but watch them with their parents and they walk all over them. Why? Because they know they aren't gonna get away with it with us, we won't tolerate it, but the parents will for some reason. Then they come to us saying they don't know why the child is acting that way with them and not with us. They think their one child or two children is a handful, try having 14 at one time. Its no piece of cake but we are able to work with difficult children without using time out, or spankings or handcuffing them. Now I'm not saying it works all the time, but thats the great thing about having lots of different methods, you use them all and find what works best. This little girl seemed like she was just throwing a tantrum.
I think everyone overreacted here, and it could have been handled a lot differently.
But thats just my lotta cents lol
Don't lie, you know you want a whole litter of them!
Some of the comments on here are idiotic. First, anybody who doesn't have kids, should shut up, because until you have one, you know don't know....
These freaking idiots overreatced, period. We are talking about a five yr old kid, let me say it one more time FIVE YRS OLD. Should the child have been disciplned, with out question. Should the child of been handcuff in front of everybody, lead to, then put into a back of a police car. NO Fing way. If a teacher and a principle can't handle a 5 yr old kid, then they should be in another line of work.
If the child reacted in this manner over jelly beans, there are a tons of underlying issues that need to be look at. Mainly the parents, kid has enough issues, don't add on to them.
Maybe parents without mentally ill children, myself included, should shut up too. Maybe everyone who did not witness the incident, myself included, should shut up too.

Would you care to watch my daughter for me for about a week? You'd be begging for them to take you away in handcuffs.
*rimshot*
BTW, there's nothing idiotic about someone's opinion...whether you agree with it or not.

Videos of the incident--you'll have to scroll down for them.
I don't know the whole story but I think the parents should have been called and told their child was out of control and given them the chance to come to school to get their child or at least get the parents to talk to the child on the phone.
Within a reasonable amount of time or course and told that the authorities are also going to contacted so that they are aware of the severity of the situation.
From what I saw the principal did what was necessary.
Discipline begins at home.
They did call her mom, but she said she couldn't leave work early (it was said in the video in when she was alone).
All I can say is that teacher showed a considerable amount of restraint. I think she handled the situation extremely well.
That is too bad. My work would understand that when it comes to my child, he/she comes first.
I agree, the teacher should be commended for her actions.
That kid was swinging like ing Joe Frazier in the principal's office!
At the end of that vid, there is a man (one of the officers?) that said "Remember me? I'm the one who told your mom we'd handcuff you." or words to that effect.
Action and consequence.
Done and done.
That kind of behavior should get a kid expelled and put in an alternate school. There can't be any kind of reward for that. And she and the mother need counseling while she's there.
This kid needed to be restrained by police. How do you stop a kid that is totally out of control and you can't do anything because you will be sued? There are specially trained teachers that can restrain students and are taught how to do so. I'm not sure if they were availible at this school. In any case, the child needed to be restrained because she was beyond reasoning.
I'm all broken up over this.
I know. My Dad would have said "They should have took your ass to jail, for acting like a fool"......then he would have whooped my ass for embarassing him.
I find it funny that people changed their tune once the link of the video went up. I had no doubt in my mind that the teacher, principle, and police did the right thing. I have a child and I wouldn't hesitate to have her restrained if she had acted that way. Teachers are there to teach, they are not babysitters and don't need to put up with guff from any student. That is why we have a shortage of individuals going into the teaching field. That don't get paid enough to put up with crap!
They should have tied the mother's tubes as well.
After watching the video, it looked su iously like there was a little girl in it who didn't want to face the consequenses for her actions when she discovered there were going to be some.
