The School's Hands Were Tied Here.

...Obviously. I'm not at all surprised by the overreaction and poor grasp of "rational response" by the LAUSD here, but I was surprised to hear the Los Angeles has such a thing as a "psychiatric mobile response team." In defense of the LAUSD, however, I will say that if they didn't jump in with that response, and the child did end up doing something to himself, then that concerned parent would have sued the county back to the stone age. Oh well, she's going to try to do it anyway. In closing, lawyers suck.
