Hitting other children is unacceptable behavior, regardless of their status. When I was in school , back in the 80's , certainly we had fights everyday, it was no big deal to punch someone or get punched then go about your business and the school would paddle someone or such, and that was the end of it, but in today's society, it is unacceptable, and dangerous. It is just as likely that that father wold have boarded that school bus with a gun and shot everyone on board. THAT reality is why schools need to be vigilant about such behavior and stomp it hard when they do see it.
The girl's mental state is really irrelevant to this story except as a means to garner further sympathy. The fact you feel it makes her less than human makes YOU irrelevant.
It's unacceptable in today's society, because of parents like the father in this thread. Too many drama queen freak-outs.
You grew up that '80's style' way.......did you turn into some monster who bullies, and rapes small animals? I'll assume you didn't. Am I wrong?
People need to not be helicopter parents, hovering over their kids. There are limits.
And I never said the girl was less than human. I'm saying public schools aren't equipped to deal with 'special' cases. There are 'special' schools for that.
Call the child anything you like, but she's not normal. It's not her fault, and it doesn't mean she should be tossed over the cliff. But she's not now, and will never be 'normal'. Putting her in a group of normal kids, and expecting things like this not to happen, is insane.
