Exactly. But I think it's pretty pathetic when everyone gets sued for anything and everything that a couple of school officials couldn't restrain a 5 year old on their own call the mom, and have it dealt with like that - no, they had to get police to cuff a 5 year old. I mean jeez. It's going to get to the point where they're calling cops to drag bratty kids out of the classrooms who won't get up and go outside when it's time to because it's illegal to leave them unsupervised and such.

I agree that the right thing was done here. I am in no way blaming the cops or the school. I'm blaming her parents, and all the parents who want the world to raise their kid for them and blame all their parental defficientcies on schools and the like, so that it's gotten to such a point that a teacher can't demand a child listen without getting a threatening phonecall.
