"She said they were really tight. She said they really hurt her wrists," Ruff told The Associated Press. "She was so shaken up when we went there to pick her up."
Officials at Creekside Elementary did not immediately return calls Tuesday.
"We would not like to see this happen to another child, because it's horrifying. It's devastating," Ruff said.
I am sure the other kids in the class were not shaken up AT ALL, the principal and the teacher were not shaken up either.
Well, for a moment, the world was a little bit safer.
More than likely, she was handcuffed so as to not hurt herself.
Well, I'm not too sure about that, but I'm more interested in the charge of assault.

That charge doesn't make any sense. Isn't any kid under 11 not responsible for their actions anyway?
As a school, you go to the parents and have their insurance pay for the damage.
Advice them to place their kid in an anger management course or something.

If it's a situation where there are constant tantrums, where damage and or injuries to others are involved, ban the girl.

That won't help with the tantrums, but yes. No need to have other people injured or property damaged just because she does not have the ability to keep her emotions in check.
I don't know what is going on here exactly, tho. Could be just a random tantrum (who knows what she is going through, right?), but it might as well be a chronic behavioural problem. The latter should be dealt with with treatment, the first should be dealt with by punishing her school-way, so she knows it is not acceptable.
The reason for the kid's tantrum aside, was it truly necessary to handcuff a 6 year old? If that had happened to my kid I would be enraged to say the least.
I would also be enraged if they had done what I do myself when my kids throw a tantrum.
I think they should have called the parents, and not the cops, in the first place.
But don't come on TV, telling that that "can damage a child for life". If it does, then the tantrum just damaged 25 (or so) other children for life.

I should have added or others. If another kid got hit by a chair people would be pissed.

Well the report said she pushed a shelf over and the principle was injured.
What a fascinating trial that might be.
