^^^ PP, to whom are you speaking? The mom with the aggressive kid that may or may not be SN but certainly has behavioral problems (whether or not clinical), or the mom who wants her non-aggressive SN kid to live in peace and not get beat on?

I have an SN child who wouldn't hurt a bumble bee, much less your child. I've spent thousands of dollars on therapy as well. Your SN bona fides do not impress me, I'm confident I have more. And, there's this: if anything my SN child is MORE vulnerable to people like you and yours.

Yes, let the beatings continue. The only person with rights is the aggressor. Thanks DCPS - NOT.

Call in the Ombudsman for one, then realize that if the other child has an IEP or behavioral plan, then your child is out of luck.

PP: Ignore this poster. You could kneel down and grovel before her and all she'd do is kick you in the face.

Fast forward to K, new school and an awful bullying situation with toxic classroom setting. DC (and classmates) traumatized by the situation. A previously happy child learned to modify own behavior so as to prevent incidents- or get the the bullies kicked out.

Fast forward to another school year- and most of the challenges have been overcome by a thoughtful support plan by the school involving teachers, administrators and outside support. But not perfect- there still can be triggers that cause my DC to react inappropriately.

Do we discuss this with other parents? No. this is for privacy considerations, the same as other families do not discuss their child's concerns and issues with the entire class.

Children report one side of a story- and a finite moment in time. Hear out the school, advocate for your child, and learn what supports are there for you, your child's teacher, and the rest of the class. Don't presume families aren't trying ... we've been on both sides of the equation- and trust me- neither side is fun.

And your DC? Most likely not an angel- as I can tell you how their actions and micro aggressions contribute to the negative consequences.

I'll continue working with my kiddo- hope you will with yours. Have an issue? Take it up with the school, not me.



Hello again PP, responsibility-abdicating mom to a budding sociopath. Get it, you are actually responsible for your kid. Control your kid and get him or her the proper help to stop hurting others. No one has a trumped-up excuse to assault others - NO ONE.


Hmm, I see one poster with signs of being a selfish sociopath ... and it's not the PP with the aggressive child. Sounds like she worked very hard with the school, teachers, and outside therapists on the situation and did exactly the right thing. Again, if it were a simple matter of "controlling" a child, nobody would be here arguing.


PP, you should grovel that you yourself need help and may exhibit signs of being a selfish sociopath. If you got your kiddo the help he needs, there wouldn't be a problem. But you can't realize that because in your abstract world all this is normal.


do you want to see our medical bills, my time sheets with all the sick leave I have taken for appointments, my kid's IEP, noted from his therapists, the dozens of parenting books, come along to visit out therapists? would thay convince you of my bona fides?
