"You cannot touch, hold, restrain or otherwise physically intervene unless they are hurting themselves or others"
I don't know... the kid looks pretty puny to me. Make her stand in the corner maybe.
That’s about the level of high-level problem solving I expected.
You’re right. She’d have jumped right into the corner willingly after pushing 2 students and pushing things off the teacher’s desk. (sarc)
Just wondering, how do you “make” a kid stand in the corner when she has already started acting up? Do you really think that no one in the school tried the most reasonable measures first? How about the police officer who says s/he placed a hand on the child’s shoulder in an attempt to calm her? When that didn’t work, and after trying (six times!) to reach the child’s mother, you still think you know better than the professionals? The school and the police all did exactly what they should have done in this particular situation.
Seriously, have you ever worked with young children yourself? I really doubt it.
