You know... it probably wasn't entirely necessary to use as much force as they did, but I bet those girls will never shoplift again. Whether it's a $2.00 lipstick, or a DVD or whatever, it's still stealing, and I don't think the "kids will be kids" attitude you're displaying is any excuse. Shoplifting results in the same increased costs for the store (and therefore to the customers) whether it's a 90 pound teenaged girl or a 200 pound grown man. And if their parents do try to sue, I hope they get laughed out of the courtroom.
