MN is quite happy to let innacurate thread titles be posted that could promote discrimination against disabled children and their famillies

Title say's it all.

Is that a personal attack or fact TCNY oh yes it is a fact.

Thecoalition, exactly my point. Yet i could write you are all a bunch of wankers, which is also not a personal attack and MN would delete if someone objected to it.

wassup3000 - So which part of the statement is inaccurate?

Are there none of very few children with bad parents?

Are they all able to see the link between this and their children's behavior?

Do none of them try and blame this on recognized disorders?

I'm not saying that the statement isn't offensive, or that it shouldn't be challenged (the number of instances of this happening is low/diagnosis will winnow them out etc)

But it is a factually accurate, and legal statement to make.

Claw3 - Yes and that is the declared policy. Otherwise we couldn't say all Tories are wankers.

Parents may try to blame their child's behaviour on ADHD but they won't get a diagnosis.

corksillky - Exactly.

No it is not TCNY not at all. Are you children little fuckers? Is it Ok for me to ask you that?

Are Your

er... not really coalition - your point makes no sense.

cornsilky then their child does not have ADHD or ADD so what is your point exactly?

My point is that ADHD is not overdiagnosed and folk like Breton who say they see many chn who don't really have ADHD are probably exaggerating.

Thanks cornsilky I figured it out after I saw your next post to TCNY

Good point cornsilky too.

IME parents who think their child is affected by SN and express this are often right.It's not an easy thing for a parent to do. No parent in their right mind would want their child to have SN/SEN.

Exactly cornsilky

wassup3000 - Well sometimes she is TBH.

Can you tell me which part of the statement is inaccurate or illegal?

cornsillky- Yes - your response was a sensible and reasonable one. The original statement doesn't say anything about whether these parents actually succeed in getting their children diagnosed. They might get statemented, but for other issues that may well actually be partly the parents fault, but which mean the children need extra support.

The statement that was originally made is true - it's just not very important.

TCNY oh dear you call your own child a little fucker! That is abuse!

'They might get statemented, but for other issues that may well actually be partly the parents fault, but which mean the children need extra support.'
Do you realise how difficult it is to get a statement? There is no way that a statement would be given due to bad parenting.

Oh yeah parents just go to the shop and buy a statement. You haven't a clue TCNY at all!!

Well I don't say it to her face obv.

lol wasuup - my thoughts exactly!

Why don't you say it to her face TCNY?

cornsillky - So a child who has suffered physical and/or emotional abuse/neglect at home wouldn't get statemented? I confess that this isn't an area I am familiar with so I might get the terms wrong, but presumably they would need extra support - is this not called a statement in these circumstances?

wassup3000 - Because it wouldn't be very nice would it? I don't say out loud everything that I think.
