My little autistic guy was held accountable. I will say that I thought I might do a bit of battle when he lost it on the way to school and attacked his brother. When I arrived at the school I had his brother go in and I followed “C” in I grabbed him so that he wouldn’t follow his brother. He ended up in my lap on the floor. One of the teachers tried to take him from my arms. I didn’t let go until I could see the change in his eyes. I could see how trapped he was. I cried all the way home. To see those eyes. These kids need to be held accountable and they need for someone to show they care. By calling them sweetie and allowing them to do wrong is only passing the buck.

I have known 4 people that have done i. A nephew, a friend and 2 co-workers. I has dated a couple of guys that said they were gonna do it I told them they were a lot braver than me, cause I wouldn't want to face God after I killed someone. But go ahead if ya want and then I hung up the phone. Neither one did.<BR/>I know God will give you the right words and power when you need it. Hang in there!...

I still, to this day, wonder how he was able to do it for so long -- it definitely takes a special person to be able to do it for that long (or even on a temporary, fill-in basis).NoVA Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16661990626635939447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19314545.post-73940638074618750702008-04-26T14:25:00.000-05:002008-04-26T14:25:00.000-05:00Sister, I really don't have any wisdom for you. I ...Sister, I really don't have any wisdom for you. I know you'd do the right thing for these kids if only your hands were not tied. My sympathies are entirely yours. <BR/><BR/>In these things, the worst is the feeling of shame that others seem to consider themselves so far above you. I can only say that arrogance is not truth. You've got truth on your side. <BR/><BR/>You're the sane one.Kevin Knoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16788817477327510023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19314545.post-28352872885938126852008-04-25T21:46:00.000-05:002008-04-25T21:46:00.000-05:00That story is incredible.

You have to respect any training - naive or not - that can handle that with such calmness day to day.<BR/><BR/>Persistent, consistent boundaries is the most loving thing you can do for a child. And they will fight you every step of the way, especially if no one has ever done it for them. It sounds fairly close to describing my relationship with God. :) But it's definitely where my security comes from.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and they should have phones. Duh?<BR/><BR/>Big hugs.

I'm reminded of that song where the kids take their teacher and throw her out the window of a tall bldg to see if she will bounce, there are no absolutes and all morality is relative so whtever happens to her is ok. I send you a salute major hugs and thanks for the work your doing there sister!!!Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14137068859515196903noreply@blogger.com
