Mood swings

Recently there was a story about a kindergartner who was removed from school in handcuffs and placed in the back of a police car. Apparently, she was totally out of control and was taken to the principals office. There, she broke things, jumped on a shredder, and stood on a picture frame. Then she was chewing on the doorknob. Administration said she was removed in handcuffs for her safety and the safety of others. She wasn't charged with anything because of her age - She was 6. Her mom is outraged saying she suffers from mood swings. Wow. How about some parental discipline.

If you were that administrator, what would you have done? I think the police was a bit extreme but maybe that's what someone like her needs. I'm not sure if she was a special needs student or not. That wasn't addressed. That may hold some answers to the questions if she was.  If she wasn't, her behavior was inexcusable. Hey- we all have bad days but that's no excuse for out of control kids and adults.

Can women use mood swings as an excuse for crazy behavior? I don't think so. Sure wish we could,
 though, because it would explain a lot.
