A five year old having a temper tantrum isn't a law enforcement problem. It's what any teacher or principal of an elementary school should be willing and able to deal with. The teacher should get the kid to the principal and get back to class, and the principal should either handle the tantrum or pass the kid off to a counselor. When kids get older, that line can get blurry, but five is solidly in the "school can handle it" range.
