[QUOTE="Andy, post: 170828, member: 5096"] The teen kicked out of church - The parents knew what concerns others had and were addressing those concerns by when they attended mass and where they sat. The church leaders could have approached the parents with any other concern and the parents would have found a way to work through it. It sounds like the parent attended with him so if there really was a problem, they would have handled it. I don't understand how the church makes this decision. There should have been educational opportunities for the congregation, not a turning away of a member. The kid on the plane - I did see the news coverage on this. Why don't people work with parents? If the parent is calm and feels he/she has it under control and knows what steps to take, do whatever is needed to support the parent. Isn't it the stewardess's job to ask, "What can be done to make your son's trip comfortable?" The mom knew what was needed and figured out how to do it while staying within airline rules and the second stewardess refused it. If I remember correctly, on a previous plane the stewardess did work with the mom and there were no problems. It really amazes me how uncomfortable people are around difficult children. I knew one person who would refuse to even set foot on the campus of a behavioral health facility because she was afraid of the clients. The church members who initiated this (probably some old ladies who want everything to be ohhh so picture perfect during mass) and all stewardesses need training on all behaviors. Everyone needs training on communicating. Who are these people and why do they get to decide to offend difficult children families? [/QUOTE]
