What did the 6 year old know and WHEN DID HE KNOW IT???
Get him Mike!
You know what? Even special needs kids need to be taught not to hit because they may be hit back. Apparently this child was never taught that or was not presented with enough retaliation in return to grasp the concept. Not unlike liberals these days needing safety zones for someone speaking outside their comfort zone. Everyone gets a trophy right?
Case workers, teachers and healthcare workers are attacked and assaulted by mentally unstable kids a lot I see the medical records when working workmans comp cases. I will cut these people some slack because some of these kids are very strong and will hit you with pretty much anything they can get their hands on.
Shouldn't that come back to the parents for letting it get that far? Special needs doesn't mean they are un-trainable animals with free range to attack anyone they want to and get the government's support if someone retaliates.
Okay enough of my joking now. Do you know any parents with special needs kids? Have you raised one? Do you have ANY ******* idea what you're talking about?
If you had child with no language, who does not learn in the same way that you do, and you have grown up NEVER being exposed to any kind of serious developmental disabilities... what would you do? Most parents have no idea when their child is diagnosed. The parents I work with have gone out and bought EVERY book they can, sign their kids up for EVERY program they can find, and deal with special needs issues EVERY DAY OF THEIR CHILD'S LIFE!
Do you really want to condemn these people? Walk a mile in their shoes Mike. You have ZERO idea what you're talking about.
