Saw this on the news last night. No, the kid shouldn't have been handcuffed, she needed a straight jacket, but I don't think the police carry those. This kid is doomed, she is totally out of control and her mother (don't know about dad) has called the police about her before--can any of you as parents imagine calling the police to control your five year old? This child is in terrible shape and one wonders if she will ever get the discipline and psychiatric assistance she needs. Not likely with a mom so stupid that she has let the child grow into a beastie at five. We'll read about this one in 10 or 15 years and it won't be pretty.

She just needs a good old spanking to pay attention. When I got stupid at that age, my dad took off his belt. I learned my limits very quickly.
