That horse is agonal wheezing in the back stretch. It won't make it to the home turn. Fat Al will abandon that horse long before that to save face from what appears to be another Crystal Mangum case.
Get REAL, a 3 year old having a fit weighing 30 pounds wearing shoes can bring their father to the ground when kicked in the balls trying to calm a kid that does not want to go to bed.
A 6 year old that is taller stronger and weighs more having the same fit, is still like a sneaky snake, they can squirm and throw themselves about , lash out with both hands and feet. You get a child that has " Mood Swings " and crap you got a little CHUCKIE to contend with. They bite ,scratch, kick and scream bloody murder.
Few parents want to harm their child, they cannot slap them to calm them down, cannot grab their arms or legs hard enough to leave bruises and or shake them back to reality.
6 year old are taught in school that they must report to the teachers if their parents hit them or physiology harmed them by telling them they were bad to set the cat on fire.
So parents to stay out of jail give in to all demands a child has, spoil them rotten and make excuses for their kid when they get to be 8 years old and develop a fascination with fire.
I do not blame the cops for handcuffing a 6 year old that has had a " Mood Swing" or gone into a mother of all fits.
For their own safety and that of the child, had she been left unrestrained and began to smash her head on the windows of the police car an ended up bleeding before she stopped her rant, the sight of a 6 year old taken from a police car covered in blood would have led to riots across the country.
