How would you have handled that kind of situation without using force of any kind?
The kid was not about to listen to reason, so the guy had to act.
It is actually you people who are arguing that the kid should be allowed to do anything he wants to, even breaking the law and get away with it.

You are not the thread police. He has not been off topic.
I am not intending to be the thread police, I just find it odd that PurpleChiten would associate excessive force with discipline. Does his statements condone the extent of the physical force used in this video as an appropriate and accurate means for discipline?

The head of security shown in the footage did not discipline the child, he assaulted the child. Don't go off topic to approve physical violence. Okay.

I see, you have missed the word 'excessive' in my post. Pointless questions noted. So the teacher didn't grab his arm and pull it violently? Was it the other way around or am I blind?
Obviously the security officer didn't have the expertise to avoid physical confrontation, keeping in mind physical confrontation is easier.

I'm sure your looking for me to give you a step-by-step guide to give you fuel for a fire.
I would have assured the child he would be in class shortly, but due to the sheer size of the schools populace and not knowing every face of the attendees we would have to delay his entry to class. I would further re-assure the 'child' he is not in trouble, but just has to await procedure. Of course all this would be said with a NON condescending tone, which most teachers fed up with children would use. This is just my non-professional attempt at what I would do, seeing as I am not an tertiary educated teacher, but one that I would assimilate to a family member whom looks after and teaches troubled youth and special needs children across the majority of schools within my city.

Okay..
So how is restraining a kid who is forcing himself through a security barrier excessive. He did not strike at the child, the only injuries possibly sustained (besides pride), were due to the fack that the kid was flailing himself about trying to get past security..
So, we just let the kid in and follow him around until he possibly stabs someone?! Yes, that one of the reasons security is there in the first place.. What the hell?!
I'm actually very glad that the people with sense on this thread are outnumbering the people without any sense. Thank you for being someone with sense!!

What's sad to me is that some people seem to think that there isn't any reason for this at all, no matter what the circumstance, because you're not supposed to hurt a kid, no matter what kind of kid it is.
People have a right to self defense, no matter what the age of the person is who is attacking them.
And sometimes these kinds of actions are very necessary.
The biggest problem is that they're defining all children, each and every one of them, ebcause of an arbitrary number, and not as an individual. And that does a lot of harm, such as not allowing a person to defend themselves against a violent kid, because it's just a kid.

That all depends on what your concept of sense is.
Many simply refuse to debate beyond a certain point with those who seem 'senseless" about what is extreme, and what is appropriate.
Saddest thing to me is how many that work within the system think this was not extreme, and beyond what is necessary.

Disrespectful punk kids do not respond to things like reason and logic and "pretty please with sugar on top". They only respond to discipline, that is the only way they can learn.
When I was a kid I was ALWAYS smacked by adults WHENEVER i was disrespectful in any way shape or form, even if I was just teasing or making a smart aleck joke.
Where were people like you back then? Why are you pos so prevalent in today's society now?
It's people like you that enable children to be disrespectful and antagonistic towards adults that make me sick. WTF is wrong with you?
I'm really sick of these bs attitudes that kids are so special they're above being disciplined for bad and rude behavior.

Just because you were abused as a child does not mean that every other minor deserves it as well. I don't understand all of this nonsense about today's generation not respecting adults when the adults have the nerve to not show them respect in the first place. How would you feel if you had been assaulted by a teacher like that?
There also seems to be a bit of a contradiction on this website in general when it comes to minors and authority; most people complain about schools preparing children for a police state but yet they want them to respect that kind of authority and think they deserve to be beaten. Physical abuse leads to obedience, which would mean that younger generations would not question anything.
I'm not saying that children have a right to do as they please, but if hurting them is the worst possible thing you can do, especially if it is over something idiotic such as an ID.
You have a lot issues that you should work on..

Note you're resorting to insults.
That means you lose.
And the kid did no such thing. HE INITIATED THE REACTION!
