You also failed to mention the little 'angel' also was punching and hitting the teacher and the VP as well as turning the office upside down. She is waaaaay out of control and I garuantee you she will not be fucking around like that again. lesson learned. She's probably less of a freak for it, and maybe she'll show a little more respect since her mother doesn't know how. Her mother should be fucking mortified for spawning that child. That kid tore apart the VP's office, the classroom, hit, punched and bit teachers and administrators - that is unnaccpetable social behaviour - wether you're in a classroom or a boxing ring. It's not an American issue at all - it's an issue of allowing television and other mediums to instill capitalistic values in youths rather than actually spending time teaching values and morals.

If that is true and the cop said that, then obviously this isn't the first time this kid has caused this much trouble. If that is the case both the kid and mother/parents need counseling.

are they out of their mind? did the girl Kill anyone? That's just foul.. no matter what, she's just a little girl...

Unless the mother continues to instill the whole "victim" mentality into her even more so.
Teacher's cannot physically restrain a child except maybe to protect themselves.
Even teacher's who deal with violent or mentally disabled children in special classes have protocols that they have to follow in order to not be brought up on criminal or civil charges and eventually lose their jobs or worse.

This child apparently has issues. It's quite apparent..and this is not just a temper tantrum of a 5 year old. If your 5 year old is having temper tantrums like this then you are a horrible parent for not either stopping the situation or getting the child help.

Should the child be arrested and cuffed? That's a police issue. But I think if handled right this could be something that makes the child stop and think before she acts as if she's in control again.

I hope the mother loses, but I seriously doubt it. I'm sure it will be settled out of court to silence certain sectors of our society...those who live their lives as victims.

If she loses ( and I hope she does ) she will probably blame it on race so she will be instilling the kid wit racism as well. I feel for this little kid but I think the school should sue the mother for sending a kid to school that is uncontrolable.
