NotAn...we have those ladies (and sometimes gentlemen here too). We call them lollipop ladies/blokes. They're usually at the crossings though, and not directly outside the school.

I agree that it would have been traumatic for the child to see his mother handcuffed, and as I'm not a psychologist, I can't really say what the repercussions of that trauma might be, however, his mother might be the sort that always disregards the rules, in which case, it may have been a good lesson in consequences. On the other hand, maybe she was just stupid, in which case, maybe the child can benefit from knowing that too.
