Honestly, I think pepper spray was the best outcome for everyone involved. It got the job done without anyone getting hurt. What if the cop restained the kid and the kid broke an arm? You'd have the mom screaming bloody murder like she is now.

There are better ways to defend the police action in this case than this, hopefully. Studies of the effects of pepper spray have always been contradictory, but I don't believe there have ever been ANY done on the effects it has when sprayed into the faces of children. What if the kid was asphyxiated and ended up dying? You'd have more than the Mom screaming bloody murder.
