[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm OK with what the school and police did. If it was my own child, I think that would have been the best option since it also restrains the child from hurting him/herself.[/quote]

Obviously you don't have a child with special needs - or emotional problems. Schools need to be able to handle situations like this. The little girl was SIX.

Not the PP you quoted, but there's no mention that this was a child with special needs or emotional problems.  Most mainstream schools are not equipped to restrain kids, as a PP said.  This school handled it the way it felt was appropriate.  They tried to call the mom, and they needed to protect themselves.  Heck, if the girl had gotten hurt due to her tantrums, the parents could have sued.  What action do you think would have been more appropriate for the school to take?

Yes, the girl was SIX.  That means she's old enough to know that you do not throw shelves.  Even my 3 yo knows it's not okay to throw furniture.  Again, if it's a kid with special needs, it's obviously different.  That does not seem to be the case in this story.[/quote]
