I had not read the whole article, so that clears some things up.

I'm not really sure what to think about this, to be perfectly honest. It's a complicated situation. She needed to be restrained, her mother wasn't coming... I guess they did what they had to do by calling the police. I still think the handcuffs were a little much, but I don't really know what else they were supposed to do in that situation.

This girl obviously has some behavior and emotional issues, and I hope she gets the help she needs instead of everyone ignoring the incident and focusing only on the action of exasperated school officials and police forced to deal with it because her parent wouldn't. People would be screaming about a school official physically restraining her too. It's a no-win situation.

And before anyone says tantrums of this magnitude are normal at that age - they're not.
