Mom said "She has other teeth"
"He didn't mean to break her tooth, he was just hitting her in the face."
"It's not a big thing - she isn't a model or anything like that."
"I've given him 5 minutes time out - it's over."
**ay yi yi.  I want to run screaming from the room!!!!

I'm so glad they moved.  That kid is a psychopath.**

Probobably not yet, but likely to end up there because Mom will keep enabling
him and training him in abuser rationalizations, while not giving him any of
the kind of love kids truly need. :-(

Same in the park day situation. The moms of the kids being attacked NEED to
not only protect their kids from the attacking kid, but also from the
attacker's mom. You may not be able to get her to stop giving her kid rationalizations,
but you can stop her from trying to make your kids believe they're
responsible for his abusing them. I wouldn't want my children, especially daughters,
being told over and over variations of "he wouldn't hit you if you'd only ____".


It's horribly difficult being the parent of an explosive child, but she's not
not NOT doing him any favors by trying to train his playmates instead of
working with him.

I wan't the original poster on this thread, but I have to thanks all
of you for your comments and suggestions on this matter. Prior to
this, I kept going back and forth in my head, wondering if I was
blowing this out of proportion. You've given me the courage recognize
that it is truly a problem and to take the necessary action to
resolve this issue. We'll let you all know where this goes...we'll be
with them on Sunday at a birthday party. It will actually be
interesting to see how things go down with the different dynamic of
having a bunch of dads around...hmmmmmmmmm.
