This happened in Florida too to a 5 year old in 2005. Many discussions on FR at the time. This one was caught on video so you could actually see the girl going ape. Probably a video of it is still on You Tube somewhere. Here are a couple of links to that story below:

Here's video of the 2005 incident (link below). You can see the office where the girl has gone ape. She is fairly calm at the first of it and then starts going berserk again and hitting at the school official. At the end of the video, police put handcuffs on her. I don't think the mother won the public relations war in this one because there was video, but I'm not entirely sure how it turned out. It would be interesting to know what this little girl is like 7 years later. It would be nice in this latest case if there was video too. When incidents like this happen school officials should tape it if they can to protect themselves. Obviously, they had had run-ins with this little girl from 2005 before, so they were prepared.

Here's why the police are called and why adminstrators and teachers can't do anything to the little sweeties:

Kill Your Teacher: Corruption And Racism in Los Angeles City Schools

Excerpt:

Shifren tells of his referral of one student to the principal's office for discipline for stabbing another student in class with a pencil. The student soon returned to class with a taxpayer-paid community activist, designated as a "parent rep," who screamed at him in front of the class. "I'm tired of you kicking Black kids out of your class," she yelled. But Shifren points out that every student in his class was Black.

Me speaking again:

So Al and Jesse will be called looking to capitalize on it for their own interests and the parents will be looking to capitalize on it for their own interests. Instead, the parents should be trying to figure out why their daughter is out of control. Meanwhile, the little girl will learn that no one can tell her what to do and she can act anyway she pleases. She will be out walking amongst us one day as an out of control adult. You can see the videos on You Tube of these older ferals on trains and in fast food restaurants acting like wild beasts. And we are all supposed to tolerate it and say, "Thank you, may I have another."

Thanks for your reply and all the work on this. Very interesting.

I believe your analysis and conclusions are correct given the PC times we live in.

When I was going to elementary school, back in the late 50's and early 60's, they would call the principal if a kid was throwing a temper tantrum. The principal would grab the kid by the collar and march him down to his office. He had a small closet there and the kid was pushed inside and left alone until he calmed down or until his parents showed up. No harm and no foul.

I believe getting the cops involved is adding too much drama to the whole situation and this plays into the attention seeking goals of the unruly kid.
