[i]A Georgia kindergartener ended up in handcuffs after allegedly throwing furniture, tearing items from the walls and pushing over a shelf that hit her principal during a tantrum.

School officials maintain back up was their only option during the child's fit, but her parents say the decision is an outrage.

[b]"A 6-year-old in kindergarten?" Earnest Johnson, the father of Salecia Johnson, told WMAZ-TV. "They have no business calling the police and handcuffing my child."[/b]

[b]According to MSNBC, the girl was placed in a holding cell after the altercation, which took place inside the principal's office at Creekside Elementary School in Milledgeville, Ga. The principal said the girl was trying to get out of her office by biting the door knob and trying to break a glass frame, which lead to furniture throwing.[/b]

"Our policy states that any detainee transported to our station in a patrol vehicle is to be handcuffed in the back. There is no age discrimination on that rule," Police Chief Dray Swicord told the TV station.

[b]Police say they attempted to contact the girl's mother by phone six times during the incident. The girl will not have to go to court, but has been suspended from school.[/b][/i][/quote]
