[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think OP asked "what would you do?" because this is a difficult situation with ramifications for her kid, her nanny, etc, not because she didn't expect that she had to do something.

I think she also asked that people be constructive, not compare her child to Adam Lanza. I love DCUM but when threads go this way, I definitely feel the need for a break. I can see why she has not returned to this thread. [/quote]

I hear you but I think OP made the mistake of posting here in Tweens/Teens.  For a lot of us with non SN children, a ton of bricks would fall on our dc's head for hitting an adult, twice.  Some of us think your dc's behavior is made worse because of how you may have handled, or not handled, this in the past (this behavior did not likely appear from nowhere).  Right or wrong, we just can't relate.  Also, the awfulness of gun violence in schools has made a lot of people unsympathetic to dc's that have emotional problems.  Of course the majority of dc's that have problems regulating their emotions aren't going to be mass murderers but the mere possibility makes a lot of parents that don't deal with these problems over the top anxious about what it may mean for their own dc.  Maybe a little understanding on all sides is needed.  [/quote]

pp here- it would have been better on the SN forum. When I read the regular tween/teen forum about kids who are vaping, drinking, having sex, bullying, and failing in school, I can't relate either. My SN kid wouldn't do any of those things. Must be the parents. [/quote]

There are many special needs kids who are failing in school, are you blaming those parents?  [/quote]

Wow you missed pp's point by a mile.[/quote]
