Have you ever dealt with an autistic child? You might be astounded at what they can do when they go on a "rampage".

Yes, and any adult with half a brain and any sense of compassion wouldn't handcuff an autistic child and leave them on the ground, on a 'rampage' or not...

I was a teacher, and had a autistic child in my class, and even though he had a full time aide with him, he managed to smash my toe during one of his tantrums, scream, and spit. When he was in a good mood, he was wonderful, but when he was set off, he just couldn't be controlled. He was in sixth grade when I had him, and big for his age, I hate to think what he could do to his teachers as he continues to grow. I don't think children should be in hand cuffs, but a lot of these kids hurt themselves when they get upset, maybe that was a concern..
