This is just one more INGO thread that reinforces my reaction.
I really don't think he felt threatened. I doubt he'll even take that position. I think he follows the same line of thinking demonstrated in this thread, that there's nothing wrong with these kids that a firm hand won't cure - might as well be him, right?
Hell, the kid has PTSD. Whatever happened to him to cause that, I doubt that being handcuffed and rendered helpless by a strange man was helpful to his mental state.
Whatever!
Special needs? My ass.
They say whatever works for them. ACLU is now mad......good. Means someone is doing something right.
I like the good old days when teachers could beat the snot out of brats in the classroom or the dean's office.
You guys need to find a less bias source. "Police State USA" - Really?
BADWOLF said:I'm sorry I just turned 38 and remember elementary school up through highschool, Mr. Carter my Elementary school principal, had a 3 strike policy first time in the office you got talked to about appropriate behavior, second time scolded, third time the paddle came out and yes the type with holes 3/4 inch apart. Now my dad on the other hand if I came home with a note from the teacher or principal the belt came off. Only 3 times in my school career did I misbehave. Nothing after that. Still remember the last one. Ass was still sore from the principals paddle with holes. Then my dad with the belt. Couldn't sit for 4 days, took an other 4 days after that for the soreness to wear off. After that I was an exemplary student for the rest of my school career
Since we're telling stories, I never got beat in school or by my parents and never got in trouble either.
I wonder if there's more to it.
Agreed. These kids were getting exactly what they needed, probably for the first time in their lives. ADHD? Nonsense. A manufactured "illness" that a good belt will cure 100% of the time. I'm so very tired of the whining liberals and media who have destroyed parents and school's ability to properly discipline kids.

Whenever I hear someone say they trust the jury system because surely the people will keep and open mind and dispassionately consider all the evidence presented by both sides before reaching a conclusion....it induces a spit take.
This is just one more INGO thread that reinforces my reaction.
The ignorance displayed here is astonishing.
ADHD is quite real. Discipline does not 'cure' it.
The poor kid was also diagnosed with PTSD, too. Should we discuss what sort of life events occur for an 8-year old to result in such a diagnosis? Do you think you guys could conjure up any sort of human empathy if we did have that discussion?

Problem is that the ones specially TRAINED to deal with these situations call those who are NOT to handle them. I see it all the time, "out of control kid" "out of control adult at group home" etc. People are lightning quick to pass the liability on to us...gee thanks.My wife is a special needs teacher and it is not a good restraint and will lead to lawsuits and injuries. There are special holds that special needs teachers and administrators are taught that will subdue a child. Being restrained like that is painful and has been used on POW's and will only cause a child with mental or emotional disabilities to become more agitated.
While listening to the child and watching his movements I believe there may be other disabilities other than ADHD and PTSD.
This may be a child that is otherwise a well behaved child but didn't get his medication or get it on time. Yes not getting your meds at the same time everyday will cause problems for people with emotional and mental disabilities.
Before you STRIP the badge away, you may want to look at the training the department has given its employees in how to deal with such incidents. Likely none. The burden falls back onto the department, it becomes a case of "failure to train".This video REALLY irritates me. You restrain any kid like that, and I will be mopping the floor with you. He is little, and disabled.
I'm a nurse. I cannot tie you up if you hit me when I'm working. I cannot inject medicine in you to "snow" you or knock you out. I can't do anything unless you are going to try to cause severe harm to someone else.

I am sincerely genuinely disgusted, and my blood is boiling. Special needs kids require special people to care for them. This child's caregiver is not special, and doesn't understand what harm they are actually doing to them. If he's autistic, they may have just ruined communication with the kid completely
