When a child goes on that much of a rant especially in school there is definitely a problem with discipline at home.I have 3 kids one of which has ADHD and he would NEVER even think about acting like this at home or at school,because he knows he'd in in MAJOR trouble when he got home!
Amen to that. My 5 year old has ADHD. And it is NOT easy dealing with him when he has a tantrum...but he would NEVER get to that level because he knows that behavior is absolutely unacceptable and that we don't treat others that way.0 -
To me and my home, we used spanking when they were younger, but only to snap them out of whatever they were doing wrong and not paying attention to my words. Guess what? I haven't had to spank my children for years and I get lots of compliments of how well behaved my children are. At a young age though, you can't just reasonably talk a toddler out of bad behavior and I certainly wasn't going to ever use bribery or food to shut them up like a lot of parents. I think parents have just given up on how much effort and balance it takes to raise a child. You can't use physical punishment or verbal all the time. And what works one day, doesn't work the next. It's hard but if you love your kid enough, you do it right from the get go and watch them blossom and not falter.0

I love you.
Best series reply ever \m/0 -
And of course here come the parents who come along angry that someone else has to deal with their child! Granted maybe handcuffs wasn't the solution but the parents certainly have woken up to their child's problem now! Thank goodness she is only 6, it'll be a lot less harder to fix than a teenager who cries out for attention in violent ways.
I disagree. They are not woken up at all to what a problem this child is. They are defending her "bad day" and being upset that the school did anything about it.0 -

A wooden spoon speaks volumes.
Absolutely. What's a 6yo doing in Kindergarden anyway??? Shouldn't they be in at least grade 1 or 2??0 -
If my kid was a nightmare, I would applaud them taking her away in handcuffs. Maybe she will think about it next time. Scared straight!
i agree, although perhaps the parents should have displined her at home if she behaved like this and got away with it.0 -

My mom hit me with a metal spoon once when I was a teen... and I'm perfectly fine. The other personalities, however, can get quite rowdy ;-)

I think the parents want to put the focus on the police dept, becuz it takes the focus off them! What is going on at home that is making this child think it's ok to go school and act a fool!0

Spank the parents too for having a brat for a child.0

YES!!!!0 -
I agree to a point. I believe that spanking works with some kids and some kids it turns them into bullies or aggressive when they otherwise wouldnt have been.....
enough said.0 -
^^ got me all choked up with memories LOL :laugh: :laugh: our schools here still allow corporal punishment if we sign for it. So when we moved here my kids were shocked lol. I said OH YEAH I'm signing lol they are all straight A studentsIf her parents spanked her, this wouldn't be a problem...

and one is graduating next month. But they all know mama's shoe can fly across a room if they mouth off LOL
My Mom broke a lot of spoons on my butt!
I'm no stranger to the flying shoe either!

Of course they did, but I bet you anything they don't want this embarrassing incident to happen again. No matter who they blame, I bet this kid and parents had their eyes opened.0 -
No one called police....most public schools have resource officers always on duty for this reason. We have two in my building at all times. There is plenty that can be done. Most schools have crisis plans and teachers are trained in state approved restraints, and calming techniques. I can't believe people are upset about this...this is how we hqave conditioned our kids to be...these are the kids I see everyday.If her parents spanked her, this wouldn't be a problem...
^^^^^^ this
think it's lawyer's fault, all these lawsuits, had the school tried to do anything they would have been sued for millions because they prevented the child from hurting themselves or others
seriously, when someone else's kid is going nuts, knocking over bookcases and hurting people, what can you do that won't get you sued?
1950 you could spank them, now you have to call the police.0 -

I was thinking the same thing. My son (now 25) was diagnosed with ADHD when he was in about the 1st grade. He never acted like that in school or any where else because I provided the discipline he needed. I don't mean spanking either. I just had rules about correct behavior and I let him know in no uncertain terms when his behavior was inappropriate. Threre were many times he would have rather been spanked and just gotten it over with but he wasn't that lucky.0 -
I have three questions:
1) How many calories did the 6-yo burn off?
2) What is this listed as in MFP?
3) Should she have lifted weights before or after the cardio?
Cheers,

Or maybe that's what caused her anger problems in the first place. What an ignorant thing to say.
Based on Momma's "She has mood swings and this must have been a bad day," I'd say spanking the child has never happened and probably wouldn't hurt.0 -
I'm just glad the cops were level headed enough to provide the hyperactive child a Coke to calm her down.0

Spank her! I was spanked when I was a kid and Im perfectly fine. Yes spanking should be the last resort, but obviously there needs to be something more than "time out" done here. This child was totally out of control. I have a 6 year old and if she EVER acted like that I would applaud the police handling the situation like that. And you bet your butt she would be getting a spanking when she got home!0

you arrest the parents, not the kid.0

Kudos to that police officer. If a six year old child is throwing that much of a tantrum, there is something wrong with them. It might be something in the home that they are missing, it could be lack of dicipline or some sort of chemical imbalance, but they do need to take action and hold people accountable. (even at 6) This may draw a lot of media attention, as it should. How are they going to fix a problem that they don't acknowledge?
This parent is saying they shouldn't have use handcuffs on his child, would they rather them have drugged her to sedate her? May use a stun gun, or hurt her while physically retraining her? The police are in a no win situation here, and it's too bad. I'm glad the the school took action. Hopefully this child will get the help she needs.0 -
She needs to see a psychologist and talk it out. It seems that she has some anger issues. Small children should not be put in jail, they are just kids and they need someone to take care of them and to me this seems like her outcry for help.
Unfortunately taking the child out of her home may be the only way that she can get the help that she needs.0 -

arresting the kid not only scares the poo out of them, but it scares the poo out of the other children thinking about acting like little dbags bc they arne't getting their way.0 -
LOL For real! Switches, wooden spoons, my mamas house shoe, her hand, a belt, the fly swatter....pretty much whatever was handy at the moment. But let me tell you I deserved every single spanking I ever got! And Im now a responsible, respectful adult. I dont think its ok to hit, I dont think I was abused, and I never felt like I wasnt loved.

This is the product of all these obsessive helicopter parents who allow their children to do whatever they want because they're "expressing themselves".
Their little angel could do no wrong.
"Kids will be kids..."
Yeah, and Felons will be felons! LOL
Your kid ain't perfect. I think its awesome they arrested a 6 yr. old. Maybe it will prevent her from becoming a felon.0 -
no way. a 6 year old doesn't understand things the way an adult does. you arrest the parents.0
-

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ THIS
doesn't say if the parents are going to court or not, just that the child was charged but won't go to court because she's 6:
"Johnson was charged with assault and damage to property, WMAZ-TV reported, but she will not have to go to court because of her age."
and i LOVE
how they are teaching their YOUNG children the "POINT THE FINGER" game. Got a problem? School's fault! Police fault! Govt fault! Not MY fault! I'm perfect! I did nothing wrong! I just had a "mood swing"! I'm just having a "bad day"! It's not MY fault I hurt people and caused damage! This is YOUR fault!
these people are winners i just know it0
