I excuse their daughter's behavior though. Their daughter was assaulted by school personnel, so how was she supposed to react?

An 8-year-old was assaulted for acting like an 8-year-old.

TheWho:
Again it comes down to training.  The teachers couldn’t just let the kid walk off, they needed to keep the child there at school and keep her safe.  The child needs to understand the rules.  But apparently the teachers did not do a good job handling an autistic child which can be very sensitive to being touched (in any way).
When a school has autistic children they need to be trained on how to handle them.  The same goes for kids with asthma, peanut allergies or epilepsy etc.  Calling the cops?  Hand cuffs pffft.  someone should get the drama award or a few days without pay.

Ursus:
It's because of this "Zero Tolerance" policy. Any and every behavior that can be interpreted as "potentially harmful to self and/or others" is wide open for forceful restraint and removal.

Well yeah. I meant RMA people having influence in the local school and law enforcement systems.

She was attempting to leave the classroom to get to a school party in another room with the rest of her class. NOT fleeing the building. She was physically restrained from leaving the Special Ed. room because her attire was "inappropriate" (cow sweatshirt). The adults initiated the physical confrontation. The child was injured (bruises on her arms). The child was then arrested, handcuffed and charged with battery for kicking, spitting and scratching IN SELF-DEFENSE.
