I’ve told my school that the next time a bully goes unchecked around me or my friends I’M handling it MYSELF and guess what? They started doing something. Only two three years of getting on good terms with the principals and getting good grades before they decided to say ”we don’t want this kid to get in trouble, this is a good kid with potential” and actually start acting (and even taking my advice of harsher punishments like moving the bully to another class and after school detention instead of in school detention getting them out of class.

That child’s problem is NOT ADHD. His problem is that he lives with a mentally ill and abusive mother who should have lost custody of her son a long time ago!

[@toriagiro9519]

Thank you!!! Everyone still saying “he’s difficult, has ‘something’ going on clearly” etc etc. It’s called trauma. Get that child in therapy, and love on him, and give him all the patience and support he never had and I guarantee he will transform. I’m not saying he doesn’t have ADHD, but you can’t see it here. I don’t know any child who wouldn’t act like him dealing with that as a mother. Even at the hospital, he needs someone to sit with him and chat and give him attention. He is clearly acting out because he’s been through it and wants someone to pay attention to him. I feel for him, and I bet if red dress woman who was with him at the gas station was there, she could manage him. When he was there with her kids he sat quietly with all the chaos going on. Because he was being cared for.

Time and time again ignorant abusive people think they can beat mental illness out of a child whiles they're the ones making everything 100 times worse.

That's how he's feeling. I know from experience

[@calamity0.o]

That mom's probably got an undiagnosed processing disability, too. I wonder if she'd make better choices if she was more aware of her own frustration. That quickness to anger could be bpd or a bpd like trait of asd. I am aware of my quickness to anger and frustration that swells when things are not perfect. I take my autistic behind away from a situation to calm down and walk or smoke it off. She could probably get use from walking that anger off. Getting the blood flowing helps unblock that mind. She could be npd, though. If the dad passed the disability genetically, he might have been manipulated and easily controlled by a npd partner. That gaslighting she attempts is familiar to red flags I've dated.

He & his wife are so gentle & kind, people you'd trust with anything from fine china to plutonium. Just calm, pleasant, generous people. I spoke with him about how the child they've had for years now is doing - and this kid was a handful, always getting kicked out of school, etc. He's doing ok, but barely - and I heard my friend say for the first time ever & hopefully the last time, that given the opportunity, he would "mouse drag to select all the text, then hit backspace" the kid's bio-parents.

At times these children can not control themselves or their impulses at all and will do whatever they can to get their way. Even physically assaulting others.

Abortion is a selfless and kind act. It’s a medical procedure that terminates a pregnancy. Discontinuing pregnancy when you shouldn’t be having a child should be applauded. It’s a mature choice. It’s also very personal. Maybe if this crazy abusive psycho of a woman had an abortion, a child would have been spared horrific abuse. Poor little Brenden’s soul could have been born into a different body, with different parents, with different circumstances, and could have had a beautiful life. The reality is…The more abortion and birth control are limited…the more you’re going to see situations like this. It’s sad. Quality over quantity of life.

Not really. It's pretty common. Strangers help kids pretty reliably. If it's two adults fighting, most strangers won't get involved because they don't know what is going on, but if a parent is abusing their kid in public like this, most people will do what they can to help the kid.

[@Sara-xk1ns]

She also doesn’t seem to understand his disabilities aren’t a free pass to abuse him. I kind of got annoyed how hard they harped on him being a difficult child at first bc the clips of him in the store and waiting outside with the other families he seemed like a little boy who wants his mom to play/pay attention to him (by having her chase him around) and craves socialization (by the way he immediately clung to the other people by physically holding onto some of them especially the woman in red and how he just wanted to play and be a kid outside when he literally just got beat). It was clear he has some diagnosis which would be tough for a competent parent to handle, but his mom also seemed to have some issues so she is already less equipped then most. I’m glad she has workers but all that shows is that they’ve had issues in the past and are in the system now. So I’m on the fence on what’s best for the boy in this one. It’s clear he loves his mom and doesn’t understand the severity of the situation at all but do you educate and monitor them for awhile and they reunite or do you just lock her up and put him in a foster home? There’s pros and cons on both sides and I really would hate to be the person making such a hard choice. I just hope whatever the outcome they’re both doing well. That is no way to live as a parent and no way to be treated as a child. She won’t ever take accountability if she doesn’t admit what she did wrong.

[@edenleighl]

That woman in red is amazing. The fact the little boy trusted a complete stranger to hide behind over his own mother speaks volumes. But for that lady to continue to stand in front and protect him, even with the mother getting into her face, what an incredible woman. Just shows there are still genuinely caring people in this world. Thank god for those bystanders. This woman deserves to never have a child in her custody again. Hope they threw away the key.
