And when you were in school did they allow for spankings by the teachers or administrators? Did punishments hurt and where your parents would look at you and believe that maybe it was not the teacher but the child who was at fault?
The facts are that the schools are dangerous. Teachers, and administrators have their hands bind. Can't discipline the child, cause it is bad for the psychology of the child. So laws are written to remove that authority from the schools, leaving them with no options what so ever. The rules are clear, a teacher can not touch a child, to do such means that the teacher goes to court for violating the law. And like most of society, being what it is, the parents are at work, not able to get to the school right away. So for the protection of the school, then the school officials are left with one thing in mind, and that is to, as the rules and laws would dictate, call the police, which most schools have an officer or 2 present.

You're joking surely.
A 4 year old toddler...not a disgruntled and rebellious teenager is what were talking about here...essentially a baby.

Surely this is a hoax of some sort. I can't imagine LE even responding to such a call, and grown men placing a toddler in handcuffs. They are parents too.
Preschoolers are typically put in "time-out' for a few minutes until they can figure out how to compose themselves, or the adults are bright enough to create a distraction from what is upsetting the child. This doesn't make sense.
Just to be clear what happened was a 4 year old boy threw something on the floor and wouldn't listen.

Yes a baby but everything sdcigarpig is true no matter the age.
If you want to have the child sit alone to calm down and he won't what do you do? If the child threatens to hurt other kids what do you do? You can't use your strength to force anything and if you golden tongue fails what do you do?
If you call drug addicted messed up Parents who feel no responsibility and don't show up while the other kids are not terrified and all crying what do you do?
There is no forcing the child to sit in a closet or take him forcibly from the room, he will fight and you may bruise him and the school be sued you are responsible for ALL or the kids not just one, how do you protect the other kids?
“That it was a sheriff’s deputy and not a public school official who handcuffed and shackled this 4-year-old does not detract from the fact that this mother entrusted her son to the care of school officials, trusting them to care for him as she would, with compassion, understanding and patience,” said Whitehead, author of “A Government of Wolves: The Emerging American Police State.”
