Which costs more, broken children or broken windows?
Less important, but still true, is what costs more, broken windows or the lawsuit that is sure to follow?
This is a child we are talking about, a child, who like most kids her age, is unable to understand or handle the loss of control of her world. The officer mishandled the situation.

As a parent, I'd do the same thing that KayEm suggested.
