I watched the video, i didn't see anything wrong with any of that. As a child and adult who has both ADHD and PTSD (because if you read the article it also states the boy had both of those also) I was very aggressive and destructive towards myself and others as a kid. Especially to anyone who was in a position of authority.
One of my brothers also has both of these things and had to be routinely handcuffed and taken out of school as a child because of his behavior.
Ken, it's commendable you've dealt with children with different types of mental disorders, but all children with ADHD/PTSD are not the same. They all have different triggers, different things that will put them from 0 to 100 in a matter of seconds. You have no idea what either child was doing before this video was taken. You have no idea how long they were in handcuffs. You're only hearing one side of this story. Could this have been handled differently, maybe, but putting him in handcuffs did not harm him in any way. If anything it got him to do exactly what they were telling him to, which was sit down.
There are consequences to our behavior, and learning that as a kid is very important, we need to help them recognize and learn that there are rules in place that will protect you and others around you. You cannot act any way you want and disobey whoever you want and expect nothing to happen.
Anyway, that's just my two cents
