[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having watched the video and sat with it a while, I think I blame the School staff the most.  The police officers and mother are winning no prizes here,  but the school staff is supposed to be skilled at dealing with children who are at a variety of levels and I see none of that here.  They are basically mocking him and his mom, complaining about how tough they have it, and no one is doing anything for the child (except when they got his mom on speaker phone to help calm him—that was a good idea, although then they joined in with the officers mocking the mom for speaking soothingly to him).  I have trouble believing the kid was as disruptive as described, mainly because the female showing the video and describing the conduct just seems so utterly unskilled in dealing with challenging kids that I would guess she made whatever emotioanal disregulation he has much worse.
They all nsee a Dan Shapiro/Ross green training or something.[/quote]

schools are shockingly, shockingly bad at dealing with behavioral issues in ECE. despite the fact that there are very effective approaches.

I sincerely hope this mom gets access to PCIT and the child gets a private placement in a fantastic school. [/quote]

That would be great but only 1/2 the resolution.  Mom also needs to change her behavior.[/quote]

She sure does. But the MCPS and MCPD employees are being paid to keep that child safe, and they failed horribly. Fire them.[/quote]

Technically they did keep him safe.  MCPS is not allowed to put hands on a child so there is nothing stopping a child from leaving.  The staff member followed the child and called the police to return the child. That is the proper procedure.  Their behavior in how they approached things and how they talked to the child was extremely inappropriate plus the lack of MCPS staff talking to the child about his behavior but part of that was on mom playing it up for the officers.  She could have just thanked them for their help and said thanks for your comments and I will handle it at home.  Mom said she was refusing a different school or therapists so there is only so much MCPS can do without mom's consent.[/quote]

Not technically they didn’t keep him safe. They emotionally abused him and that is not safe.[/quote]

Emotional abuse isn't considered part of safety.  However, his mom is equally if not more emotionally abusive.  All these adults, especially Mom who should have shut it down vs. being the mom show, failed him.[/quote]

Yes it is actually. Cops are not allowed to emotionally abuse people. Cops don’t get a free pass to abuse abused kids. Could you imagine if the family crimes unit treated all their victims this way because “their parents are worse”. You have some serious mental issues if you see the world that way.
