As always, lessons learnt etc.

article said:
Sussex police have been strongly criticised by the force watchdog after an 11-year-old disabled girl was hooded, handcuffed and detained in custody for a total of more than 60 hours.

The girl, known as Child H, suffers from a rare neurological disorder similar to autism that can cause sudden outbursts of anger.

She was placed in handcuffs, leg restraints and a spit hood after being detained on four separate occasions for minor offences between February and March 2012.

Eleven officers and one police staff member were found to have cases to answer for misconduct after an investigation by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).

....

Sussex police said it welcomed the IPCC investigation and had offered “management advice” to each of the criticised officers.
