A temper tantrum is no excuse to put a 5-year-old in handcuffs and taken off to a hospital for a psychiatric evaluation. Do you mean to tell me that adults couldn't constrain a 5-year-old without handcuffs? Besides, tantrums aren't uncommon in children nor, adults for that matter. Besides, since when is it ok for a child to be subjected to such abuse? Being handcuffed in itself can possibly cause psychological trauma to a child who doesn't even understand the concept of being handcuffed.
By the time the child is hauled off for evaluation for throwing a tantrum, he or she may also need to be evaluated from the trauma of being handcuffed and, taken against their will. I understand that some children are rude and disruptive. But, what happened to the ordinary way one usually tries to tame an unruly child ? It's not like the child is older, bigger or, stronger than you. It's a pint size 5-year-old child and, you have look mighty foolish letting a child that young getting the best of you and cause you to stoop to that level.
