[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FFS it's not a parent's SWORN DUTY TO THE COMMUNITY to be a perfect parent. The police especially should not have been verbally abusing this child, handcuffing him, or giving any behavioral advice whatsoever (but the last one isn't actionable). The admin should have obviously done more to deescalate.

But she is rightly suing even while being imperfect herself for the same reason you can legally curse out your kid on a bad day and even if we agree that's awful, CPS won't be involved-- but if a teacher, a coach, even a store employee did it, we would rightly demand they be fired. The employee cannot just "have a bad day" at their JOB with zero consequences. It is their JOB to not react like this. And what happened here with the police was much worse than cursing out-- and further it was not just reactive. They made a choice. They really didn't need to do any of this, not any more than bring him back to school. But they felt their power and they know people are intimidated by them and their authority and their guns. Disgusting.[/quote]

Did they handcuff him?  I just saw they pulled it out and threatened him.  They physically put him in the car and in a chair and were a bit rough but it wasn't to the level of abuse.  The police officers should be terminated for their conduct and they were out of line with their discussion with mom.  This wasn't a casual friend, they were on duty.

I am not sure what to make of the school staff.  They should have put an end to it and someone should have talked to the child about his behavior (again) but it was a difficult situation for them.  They said they had a meeting set up for the next day. They gave the room per the request of mom or the police, i forget which.  But, they had that kid sitting for what 40 minutes or so and not one person talked to him or thought about what he was hearing.

This mom LOVES her child.  I don't think she was prepared to have him as he was a bonus child (from her comments).  I think she was done parenting and then had to do it again.  I don't think she was equip to handle his special needs and just parented as she did 20 years ago as it worked for her older child.  Kids struggle with food at 1-2-3, but once they hit 3-4 and not eating anything and only drinking pedisure, its time get more help.  I would guess this child has learning disabilities and is struggling with classwork, not getting the help he needs, not able to verbally communicate what he needs and instead of doing the work gets frustrated and acts out.  Mom's parenting is very inconsistent.  She uses threats, spanking, bribes and making the child throw away toys if he doesn't behave.  [/quote]

What special needs does he have? [/quote]

Its unclear.  However mom said the child only drinks pedisure and just started eating chicken nuggets.  It had been suggested before she get him help but she doesn't think it would be helpful.[/quote]
