    YES, IT IS OKAY TO HAVE AUTHORITIES HANDCUFF A CHILD IF IT IS DESTROYING SCHOOL PROPERTY. ESPECIALLY IF THE LAW STATES YOU MAY NOT LAY HANDS ON THAT CHILD TO DISCIPLINE IT

    I agree with this comment, I guess you really need to have kids, and or live with them to understand how out of control they can get. If there is no parent around, and talking to them isn't working...they are trashing the place while acting violently, and irrationally, how else do you want them to learn? I think police did fine, they didn't hurt her, I am sure she was just embarrassed, but hey, the parents shouldn't be crying foul either. If youre going to let your kid grow to be that out of control...you need to accept how the rest of society is going to control her when she ges out of hand if they need to. I think the parents are just blushing a bit because now that everyone sees thier kid acting like that on the news, of course their gonna want legal action against the police so they don't look too horribly stupid. But hey if they are showing thier kid the way of life by not accepting responsibilty for their action, and apologizing to and thanking the police ...then i guess the kid doesn't learn very well either. I wouldn't have smacked her, or anything violent, but restraint needed to be used to prevent her from hurting herself, others, and public property. Any questions?
