Where did it say “not at risk”? |
She did more than just joke. She physically harmed herself. OP is saying it’s no big deal because they are just small scratches like a cat. Umm weird. Who cares if it was her nails or a knife? She physically harmed herself. Even though the doctors cleared her, I would use my parental judgement and keep her home. The place was obviously a trigger for her and she does not need to be around that environment anymore until she is able to utilize coping skills with a professional. Please do not down play this OP. I had and have anxiety. It started small like that but grew to deeper and bigger cuts. I never wanted to hurt others, only myself, so it was easy to manipulate and downplay what happened to get people off my back. |
OP your continued argumentative posts are really scary. "every kid who jokes or blurts out without thinking" is not being stigmatized or labeled as having mental health problems. It's a camp full of teenagers who are joking and blurting out without thinking literally a thousand times a day. Your daughter is the only one who had 911 called on her. She's obviously doing something more than "joking or blurting out without thinking". OP do you hear yourself? You are in a crisis level of denial about your daughter and the seriousness of this. |
There is zero tolerance for all kinds of behavior today.
SN kids can get labeled if they do or say anything dumb. |
It should bother OP that she doesn’t even know exactly what happened. How can OP feel comfortable sending her back to this camp? Why won’t OP’s own daughter talk to her about what happened? Without answers I wouldn’t even think about sending my kid back to a place that stressed her out so much she’s scratching her arm up and saying alarming things such that the ambulance is called. Forget the money. |
It was a rhetorical question not a statement. |
Why do you assume that every post if from the OP. |
No they didn’t. They felt she needed frequent check ins. Kids who aren’t at risk don’t need check ins. OPs kid wasn’t even cleared to return to camp. She was cleared with recommended interventions. |
Why are posts that ask questions and encourage healthy debate considered argumentative and scary as long as they are respectful?
Is it wrong to consider and reflect on all sides of a situation if it is done respectfully? What is a troll? Is it someone who is judgy and puts down another poster just to be mean? |
OP it's really clear these argumentative posts are all coming from you. Or a troll. Ninety nine percent of the people who spend time on the SN DCUM forum are regular and frequent participants in this forum. In the 12 years I've been an active participant on this forum, I've never seen someone so willfully obtuse and argumentative as you. That's why I know it's the OP and not another dcum SN parent. Or it's a troll. |
How much is OP sock puppeting and trolling her own thread? |
You sound like a troll because you are seriously bashing someone who has not said an unkind word to anyone |
Do you mean encouraging healthy debate like wondering if the EMS should be called on mouthy uncooperative kids who are engaging in self harm? There’s nothing very healthy or logical about that line of questioning and most people can see it. |
I agree. It’s okay for her and you to be sad about it, OP. |
Questions about zero tolerance policies are actually valid because being mouthy and having a scratch means they can’t do anything. It doesn’t meet their criteria for doing anything. |
