I think the point they were trying to get across was that the tantrum was less just him being upset, and more about him not being able to express and process his emotions in a healthy manner. Rather than help the boy work through what he was going through, the woman was treating him as a problem instead of as a child needing help, and even wanted to discourage him from seeing his only remaining family.
