Seriously, have you ever worked with young children yourself? I really doubt it.

Of course. I grew up in a big family. Lots of the kids had temper tantrums. It's part of growing up, really no big deal. Then when it was time to raise my own kids I knew all about it.

Kids have been having temper tantrums since the beginning of time. Do you seriously believe our ancestors called the cops when kids had temper tantrums?

If you make a big deal out of a temper tantrum then the kid wins. That is what they want. And they will continue doing it because they learn they can create a big commotion anytime they want by acting up.

IMHO, that is exactly what the parents are doing here. Everyone is enabling this young girl to keep it up by suggesting that the school was over the top to call the police, when they had already exhausted all of the reasonable measures that are usually successful.
