[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 32196, member: 1967"] Marg, You are seriously comparing a six-month old infant with a raging six year old who is throwing chairs? Are you suggesting that a raging six-year-old can't hurt an adult? Tell that Lothlorien who was hurt during one of Missy's recent rages. And for your suggestions that the other children be removed from the classroom and the teacher should calm down the child? What about the other childrens' right to learn and the teacher was the one that the child attacked. Also, you are right that there must be cultural differences between the U.S. and Australia and it shows in your suggestion to leave the child alone raging in the classroom. I guess you are not familiar with the American legal system because doing what you suggest would guarantee a law suit if the child managed to hurt herself while raging. I agree with those that say that there should be trained crisis teams that could be called in a situation like this. Or that the police should have trained officers to deal with situations like this. But at this point, the school officials followed protocol and did what they had to do. After that, it was out of their hands. Oh, one more thing, please remember that you are hearing one side of the story here. The school can't tell you anything due to confidentiality issues while the parent can get on the television and say anything they want ~ true or not. Personally, I find it hard to believe that a perfectly well-behaved child with no mental health issues would suddenly fly into that kind of a rage. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
