I love how they really tried to help the child instead of calling her a brat. I have anger issues and my family deals with it by making me even angrier so that I will be "used to it". Made me feel depressed and mentally abused. I hope this girl feels better soon.

[@heathermcnally7686]

you don't deserve that and I am sorry you deal with that. when I was in my young teens I was really angry and sad all the time. begged my mom to take me to therapy but she never did. I did grow out of my anger, but I was sad for so long and had never learned how to deal with hard things, so I ended up doing some awful things for a few years. thankfully I'm sober and much better now. idk how old you are, but if you're under 18 there are therapists who will talk to you for free. call your local health department (if you're in USA), hopefully in other countries there are similar services. or talk to your school nurse or counselor, they can probably connect you with someone to talk to as well,

[@abox8362]

[@DarkCelestialConsciousness]

Y does everyone deny discipline. Even God disciplines. U hv to love yourself too (parents) not j others and by showing that u can help get the message across that the child is not a God to b worshipped at the cost of the safety or self of others and that the only option is to hv humanity towards others. Love is not hard to grasp for the child either. Being ill doesn't excuse anyone from being ruthless towards innocent loving beings (the parents) with no accountability.

I am so happy she was diagnosed! My 7 year old suddenly woke up like a different kid. He was diagnosed with PANS/PANDAS. 30 days of antibiotics and OCD meds and I have my baby back. Parents if your kiddo suddenly changes overnight. You don’t recognize them push the doctors to find the cause. Many doctors don’t know of or even believe this is real. THIS IS VERY REAL. Don’t stop until you find a doctor that can help your kid. I wouldn’t have believed it had we not lived it. May God’s grace lead you to doctors who can help.

[@user-kb7sl6cz6s]

You make a great point on noticing behavior changes because I think a lot of people from the outside would (understandably but incorrectly) assume this was just the child’s behavior and she needed some different parenting techniques but if your child is having any kind of erratic or sudden change in behavior, there’s probably an underlying cause that can’t just be explained away as a “behavior problem.” This would be so scary as a parent, especially the suicidal thoughts in such a young child. I’m glad at least that videos like this can succeed in bringing some awareness.

The behavior is alarming because you can easily tell that this isn't a personality issue. The first worry you have is a behavior altering medical issue (like a tumor or chemical imbalance). It doesn't always have to be a trauma that causes something like this. This is a case where you have to bypass the behavior to find the issue instead of being reactive to it.

And the worst part is in my opinion, people would expect the mother to be able to handle her because she is a special needs teacher, but the biggest difference is, after a hard day at work she could go home to her well-behaved, neurotypical children. She had a break. It is a completely different story when you are dealing with it 24/7. As someone who worked in a care facility who dealt with behaviors, it is unbelievably frustrating to handle destructive and violent behaviors and what gets me through those shifts with my head on straight was knowing I could go home and decompress. I feel sooo bad for that mother.

I always supported her and love her very much, it was hard for years on the whole family and it has taken its toll on my mental health but I am very proud of her. The younger teenage years were the worst, but tantrums started very young. I think a lot of it had to do with high intelligence and frustration that her body would not do what her mind wanted it to do, simply because of age limitations.

It’s so lucky that she has such loving and supportive parents, one of them being a special needs teacher. Many kids like this are just labelled as brats and written off by their parents and teachers and locked away in institutions or care facilities for mentally unstable kids and kept on cocktails of medications to “zombify” them. I’m absolutely blown away by the sheer empathy and maturity in the family, the sister didn’t blame her and suspected something had happened to her brain and the mother even wondered if it was something she had done wrong. Many parents couldn’t even face considering the possibility of a child acting out somehow being due to their own wrongdoing! The world would be an infinitely better place if more people had the same maturity, kindness and empathy as Alexia’s family. Turns out she has PANS/PANDAS a condition that causes brain inflammation following a strep infection. Who knows how many other “naughty” kids out there are also suffering from a medical condition.

[@yumbunny2566]

Update on Alexia’s story: Alexia was successfully diagnosed with PANDAS. PANDAS is a disorder that causes the immune system to attack the brain whenever you get infections, leading to irrational, erratic behaviour (sometimes also physical symptoms such as seizures, but this didn’t happen in Alexia’s case), and is initially specifically triggered by strep bacteria. Source: kzbin.info/www/bejne/onixeWWalJ6Aja8 For a while, she got the right antibiotics which got her back to normal. But soon the antibiotics stopped working, so she’s now having other symptoms such as hallucinations, hearing voices, and suicidal thoughts.

Does that mean there is no long term treatment? Constant medication changes maybe.

I think I can kind of understand what she's going through. Children are smarter than we give them credit for. I think she knows that this kind of behavior is wrong, but she also cannot control it which lead to a lot of frustration for her. Therefore the "explosion" or desire to hurt oneself, others because it's all so overwhelming for a child and she cannot just keep it in. I hope she gets the help she needed, and kudos to the family for genuinely trying to help her instead of blaming her

There *are* white people who beat their kids, they're called rednecks and I was raised by them. And I was beaten with a belt but it never taught me good behavior or respect, it taught me fear and discipline and it definitely affected me negatively. There were even times where I didn't know why I was punished and expected to know but it was never explained to me. And stop bringing race into issues like this. Whenever I see the "[insert minority race] beat their kids" argument, it doesn't make me change my mind because, like I said before, all races have beaten their kids and second; all your argument does is tell me that minorities are abusive towards children.

He calls me to ask how I'm doing and ask about how the kids are, ask how it was getting them ready for school, did they eat breakfast ok, and after he gets back to the hotel he calls and talks to us all again. He plays online games with the older 2 before bed while talking with them on video chat. Friday night, he gets home as fast as he can, showers, and gives every second of his weekend to the kids. He even leaves 3am monday morning rather than sunday night (and stay in a hotel) because the kids want him there for bedtime. It irritates me that the dad's like "i don't have the time to talk to you everyday..." After watching Supernanny, i noticed dads often check out when kids behavior gets hard and they use their job as an excuse.

Like I said, yes she needs help and I am glad she did, but also trying to set discipline (it doesn't have to be spanking. It's whatever works for the child) DOES help the child get a slight understanding of what's right and wrong. Also I advise you to not call someone ignorant and uneducated for a simple thought. It doesn't make you very worthy of respect when you're in an argument. If she did not have a mental issue, I would spank her. Abuse also means hitting your child regularly out of no reason. Spanking is something to teach the child of what is wrong. No u don't just spank them, but you explain and teach what is wrong. But every kid works differently. Are we done now?
