After hearing the remarks and reading several articles, I find it's difficult to blame the mothers, as many would do. They obviously are handicapped in what they can do with these children. In most cases the mother is the stronger of the two--for now. Obviously, he/she will some day be much stronger than mother.
The "flare ups" from these children is not normally caused by something the mother has done. It's an automatic reaction to something internal.
Everybody wants to find something to blame when there is no stimulant, no action, no "video game", nor gory scene that sets them off. They are capable of creating their own "gory" scenes straight from their own minds.
I believe it's an internal trigger--one we can't see--and it's mostly unavoidable.
I suppose you can sit on the kid to hold him down--until he gets big enough to sit on you!
What's truly needed are mental hospitals and insurance programs to pay for the care and treatment they need. Some of these violent kids will never return to a normal life. Which is, I believe, why so many end up in our jails--many for life--for the crimes they commit.
It's a pretty sad state of affairs, when our society can't help these people.
I think we need to commission studies to determine the cause of these outbursts and look for cures in one more frontier in which little is known--the frontier of the mind.
And idiots like Obama, who use a crises like this to further their political aims, should be one of the first people sent to one of these hospitals (when available) for study and possible treatment.
Being the grandparent of a "special" child, for which there will be no adulthood, I feel for all these mothers who must undergo the terrible feelings of watching there child slowly become more and more estranged from their surroundings.
I pray daily that with more understanding in this world and more application of energy in studies of these diseases, we will eventually conquer our twisted "little child" and allow them to become normal adults.
