 Quote From: kat200 It is not the children who behave that I have an issue with; it is the ones who do not behave and the parents who refuse to do anything about it, such as your godson. If the children are being disruptive, you need to discipline or remove them. The manager of a store or restaurant does not care whether your child has a mental illness--they have a business to run! The needs of everyone else outweigh those of one child. The point of the show was not "Children with mental illness who misbehave." Both children were normal.
As far as predicting trouble with the law, the shooters in the Columbine massacre actually exhibited signs early on, not to mention being raised by the daycare. Their parents were completely uninvolved in their lives, and were not even aware of the boys playing with guns in the garage.
Several posters have mentioned older children having outbursts. At some point, shouldn't they be old enough to know better than to have a tantrum at 15?! How are they going to function in normal situations? I mean, the rest of us have a right not to be exposed to this at restaurants, the theater, etc. I'm not paying to deal with a child who should be left at home.
I have a soon to be 16 year old who still have rages, or trantums as you would prefer to call them. She doesn't have a rage on purpose. Half the time she doesn't even remember having them. That is because of the neurotransmitters in the BRAIN. You should really research before you spew the crap you are.
My 15 year old cries in my lap at night and begs me not to be mad at her because she doens't want to be the way she is.
And as far as the manager not caring if the child has a mental illness... that could run a person of that posistion into alot of DISCRIMINATION problems.
BTW, your daycare theory doesn;t hold water with me. I am a stay at home mom of 2 children. my 15 year old who has bipolar, and a 4 year old, who is so called "normal" she does not misbehave in public. You would not even know she was there because she is so well behaved and never asks for anything without please thank you.. sir and ma'am.. We are yankees but both my kids were raised to use their manners. My 15 year old is still bipolar, no amount of disipline will ever change that. I will not punish my child for an act that is a result of her illness. It is not her fault. I do disipline her for actions that are related to not listening, not using manners, etc..
You are soo lucky to not have to deal with this. You are so lucky to have children who listen to every word you say and who have never misbehaved once. Next time you put us down be sure to thank God for your perfect "classy" life.
