[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 569121, member: 59"] I've been watching the tv reports all day today and am very interested in the discussions that have been going on regarding this. I think it's time we discussed these issues if we are to find ways to help our kids and stop these tragedies. Year ago when my difficult child was about eight years old I posted on this board asking if anyone heard of brain scans being used to identify areas of the brain that were over or underactive because it was suggested to me that I have this done for my difficult child to try to determine why she was throwing tantrums that would last for hours. At the time no one had any experience with it and many were skeptical because it was so new. I always wished I had had the finances to have those tests done because I truly feel we would have some answers today. I hope that this tragedy causes the scientists and researchers to step up their efforts to find out what causes some people to act out in violent ways. When our family was going through it not one doctor or pyschiatrist or therapist had any idea how to help us, they all dismissed it because she did not have seizures or any other obvious reason for her tantrums and just told us to do sticker charts. We knew at that time we were in over out heads but no one would listen. [/QUOTE]
