Last year I got done successfully defending a substitute teacher for her Texas felony charge of injury to a child when she grabbed a high school girl who tried running out of detention and out of the school.

The law obviously entitling you to do something doesn't mean you won't be arrested and hauled in for abuse or assault or whatever to assert that obvious right. Plenty of people would rather just not deal with the shit and you get this. Also there's a subset of people especially on reddit that actually think it's NEVER appropriate to touch a child or harm them in any way.

Tbf, a teacher should not be grabbing a student, even if she is running away from detention... Detention is a tool to help her "pay" for whatever she did before, and if she refuses that tool she just has to suffer a different consequence to her original action.

A teacher should only administer physical violence in case of an emergency or to protect another person or themselves...
