An uncontrolled 6-year old with sharp nails and unrestrained behavior can do plenty of damage. Plus, simply defending yourself against the kid could land you an assault charge, battery, and child abuse charges.
When you restrain a child who is out of control, you have to hold their wrists and ankles to avoid being scratched or bitten. That results in at least bruises. I don't care who is there to testify in your defense, even if you're judged "not guilty" no parent's going to trust you with their kid. The result is you get to go try and find a new career.
Finally, a kid this out of control needs a police record for admission officials in schools to consider. Would YOU want a 7-year old with a record to enroll in YOUR child's school?

The minimum age for a prison sentence is 18. Minors go to juvenile hall or correctional camps.
