Wow. I worked in a SURR school in Brooklyn for four years. I had some problem kids and I worried about them acting out impulsively, but I could NEVER imagine this one. Makes me sad and makes me wonder what happened there.Crazy school story

I'll tell you what happened...it's called 'lack of parenting'...it seems like so many kids these days get everything they want...and are never told 'NO!'
They have no boundaries in life & the parents take no active role in providing them....which gives them no sense of fear of authority or consequences of actions...

My second set of blame goes to the media...more & more violent content becomes the 'norm' that people are desensitized to horrendous acts because they see them as common place on a daily basis...

ok...that's my soapbox speech for today!

Hey Kath, I don't either but God had other plans... I may outsource mine to you in a few years. Just Mon-Fri, we'll pick him up so you can have your weekends. It'll be like Camp.

j/k

Saw that story this morning, all I could think was, holy carp, if that was me in 3rd grade i'd be BEGGGGGGGING the po-po to take me, at least with them i might survive. My parents would've killed me stone dead. I sh*t you not.

Re: Scary News Story

omg that is sooo scary i teach seventh graders and can totally see them doing something like that. It definitely has to do with the wonderful parenting they receive - i just ahd this talk with one of my friends today - its disgusting that parents encourage tehir children to act liek this. i actually had a parent say to me the reason why my daughter's behavior has been bad lately is because i todl her to be as rude as possible because i was mad.....what was she mad over? her daughter came to school late and i.........shock, shock, marked her late - could you imagine?

I would've been beaten to death by my dad and step mom as well. The other problem nowadays is that parents are no longer allowed to discipline their children. G0d forbid a parent spanks a child, the kid has the number to ACS or will tell their teacher that their parent beat them!! When I was a cop on patrol, I would see that time and time again... Parents trying to handle their unruly, nasty kid and the child thinks they are untouchable and they do their best to get that parent in trouble. It is insanity!!

Also, there are so many parents out there who are scared of their kids! Scared to yell at them, scared to spank them, scared to send them to their room without tv or video games!! I'm not saying that every parent needs to spank their kids... it is a parenting style that is not for everyone. But using time outs for kids who are disrepectful and destructive, especially ones that are older.

Slowly but surely, nasty and obnoxious kids are wrecking havoc on their parents and other adults in the position of authority. It makes me sick!!
