US police in hot water for cuffing 5-year-old

An attorney today planned to take legal action against police officers who handcuffed an unruly five-year-old girl after she acted up in her kindergarten class.

A video camera, which was rolling on March 14 as part of a classroom self-improvement exercise, captured images of the girl tearing papers off a bulletin board, climbing on a table and punching an assistant principal before police were called to Fairmount Park Elementary.
