If you can not deal with a naughty 6 year old - you should not be in the job.

The violent and destructive behavior had gone past naughty. That's clear to any intelligent person.
Any intelligent person would not have allowed it to get that far clearly

the school should've handled this between themselves and the parents in the first place. Contacting the police on the count of a small temper tantrum is escalating a managable situation to the extremely absurd. If there was any serious issues regarding replacing or paying for the damages she caused, they could've taken legal actions at a later time.

Oh so now you are judge and jury - What sparked the incident in the first place?
how we she spoken to - why was she obviously so upset - No just call the cops or expel her problem solved the lazy way

Funny how all the bleeding hearts on here want to blame everyone but the child and the parents, and pretend all the kid needed was a 'time out'.
These are the same parents who will sue the school if the teacher discipline the child.
If this is your philosophy of 'parenting'. to blame everyone else and never discipline your child, please dont have kids, and PLEASE dont send em to public school if you do.edit on 17-4-2012 by stanguilles7 because: (no reason given)

However, she won't be charged, the article states.
I feel bad for everyone involved including the child, the parents, the school staff, and the police.

I would imagine teachers and principals are trained in how to deal with conflicts such as this, and they could've found a way to deal with the situation until they found someone in the family. I think the police managed to get ahold of an aunt who were supposed to meet and pick up the girl at the police station. Why the school didn't think of contacting another family member is beyond me.

being arrested at 6 by cops for being naughty shows the school is not capable of handling the children placed in it's care.
Bleeding hearts who - Bleeding hearts "Oh please help us officer a little girl is running amok" Pathetic

The police isolated her by putting her in a holding room and offered her a coke while she calmed down, I assume the school could've done something similar?

I wonder if she will grow up with a healthy fear of authority and become a productive, law-abiding citizen.
I bet this girl will think twice before throwing a tantrum because, oh yeah! actions have consequences. Seems some parents are afraid to instill that truth
