we dont know how disabled she was
her mothers description (the only on we have) implies she was very disabled.
knocking things down with a cricket bat?
was it a full size wooden bat or a kids plastic toy bat?
can police not just 'back off' and make her feel safe until her mum can get there?
going by past experience police are more likely to go charging in than keeping a calm head and backing off.
As far as cerebral palsy goes (which ranges from mild tics to vegetative) she is on the low end of the spectrum if she can walk.
If she's going to a mainstream school, there is unlikely to be any significant intellectual disability. Like many, I suspect she was playing the disability card. Happens a lot.
Edit: Her mother was going on about seizures. Which didn't happen, as she wouldn't be swinging anything. So I don't rate the mother (who wasn't there) as a reliable source.
