Statistics can be manipulated in any way to fit your agenda. That is a fact. Unfortunately people like to use statistics to fit their agenda. I'm sure if someone was to give a statistic on something someone else could find a statistic to counter it. The more I read this message board the more I start to feel sorry for this child. Everyone has a right to their opinions but I find a lot of these opinions based on emotion and not facts. People are so quick to jump to a conclusion based on half truths and only bits and peices of the facts. That is what is wrong with shows like these. There is not enough time for everything to be laid out on the table so you are only given bits and peices of the information and that is usually the information that the producers think will make good TV. I'm sure that these people have very good intentions but to say someone is guilty because of the way they act, look, talk, etc. is not being objective.
Another thing I don't understand is why people say that children do not cry like that just because they don't want to go with someone else. I have 2 children and I can tell you that yes in fact they do. I have even seen other children act like that. When I first started taking my kid to daycare you would think I was beating the ever living crap out of her by the way she screamed and cried and carried on and begged "No mommy I don't want to go....I want to stay with you". I can assure you the daycare was not beating or molesting my child.
I find it interesting that people are debating over the fact that she wasn't potty trained at the age of 3. Children potty train at all ages. Some before 2 and some after 2. Doesn't mean a darn thing.
