[quote=Anonymous]I am glad she did the interview because maybe one parent in total denial out there may wake up and smell the potential murder and PREVENT it.

While she admits some fault I doubt she understands just how clueless and in deep deep denial she sounded. I'm sorry, but there was more to the story of having to leave a school at 8 because your kid talked about bombs on a playdate.

You'd be surprised how many parents operate in denial. When I was a teacher, there was always that parent who minimized EVERYTHING. Johnny attempted to choke Larlo on the playground to the point Larlo turned red, teachers had to run and remove the boy and then he kicked a teacher, but "boys will be boys." "Larlo threatened to kill another child and reports his dad has a gun" and the parents roll their eyes and say "It's locked up. Stop blowing this out of proportion.

Wealthy area? Watch out. They WILL threaten to sue. Forget about all the kids who have been injured. Forget about all the kids threatened. Forget about the teachers injured. Snowflake will have the best lawyer in town and consequences will ONLY be mumsy or popsy having a chit chat with snowflake. Snowflake is too fragile to deal with anything else. They tell you they already tried therapy, but it didn't work so they stopped...3 years ago! (How about trying another therapist or using all that money to find an expert in the field). The child is already on meds, but even with aggression and all the other issues, it does not occur to the parents to consult the psychiatrist?! OK...rant over..[/quote]
