Lock my autistic daugher away? WTF

[TickTickBoomBoom]

Need to rant!

My DD (10) has mild autism - she's highly intelligent but struggles with the social side of things. We have a park on the inside of our complex where all the kids play.

A mother and daughter who often visit family here are vile, evil trailer trash types. I don't usually judge, but believe me, they are. The mother walks around swearing all day, and the 10-YO daughter swears at adults and children alike all day long. Her DC hurt the other kids every time they're here. Today her DS punched another boy.

The DD - call her C, has walked up to my DD before and slapped her in the face, punched her, kicked her etc. I've told my DDs to stay away from her.

So today C holds my DD down by the throat, pinches her nose closed and tries to force holly berries (very poisonous) down her throat. While I was confronting the mother about it I may have raised my voice a bit (the other father was also shouting at her because her DS hurt his son), one of the other neighbours came out and told me that, if my daughter is autistic, I should keep her inside and not allow her out of the house! WTAF!!! According to her it's my DD who causes this as she's autistic. My DD is often the target of bullies, as is so often the case with vulnerable children.

But to lock her away in the house! Seriously? Do people really still fucking think like this?

Mummyoflittledragon neither did I until I got one if I had come before a court at any point within the two years that “offence” would be taken into account.

I’ve literally never been in any kind of trouble my whole life until then

Ah sorry to hear you’re feeling poorly OP, hope your cold fecks off soon.

@YeTalkShiteHen - I think I'm in love with your accent. You must be Scottish, right?

YeTalkShite
That sounds horrible. Poor you.

Op I really hope you get somewhere with reporting this. For me it’s also really serious. The kid will know the berries are poisonous.

TickTickBoomBoom I am indeed my accent is a weird mix of Edinburgh, Angus and Perth. Literally everywhere I go people go “ooh you’re not from around here are you?”

How’s your DD today? I hope she’s recovered from her ordeal.

Had a discussion with DD, and her story has now changed to: C had berry juice smeared over her hand, put it over my mouth and pinched my nose shut with her other hand.

Because of her ASD it's sometimes very difficult to get a straight story out of her.

I have told both DDs in no uncertain terms to stay the hell away from C.

Oh god love her that must have been awful.

My lot struggle to get events in order sometimes too.

I hope she’s ok x

when ringing police emphasize that your daughter is disabled & that the dc & her bloody mother are attacking her because of her disability. This should mark as a hate incident which should be taken more seriously - nb mention hate crime & disability this was a physical attack. My talons are out in sympathy. As for the comments about disabled dc being locked away - maybe the person mentioning needs locking away - preferably in a lion cage.

They won’t do that because of C’s age. It’s the bullshit line I was fed too when I asked the police to document my son's attack as a disablist hate crime. (They called him disablist names repeatedly)

In the old days (!!) big parks used to have a park keeper who would supervise the play equipment (My great uncle was an ex-policeman who often took on these jobs -they use to get a house with it in the park!)

Had a discussion with DD, and her story has now changed

Hmmm you maybe need to not accept everything your dd is telling you at face value.Were there any independent witnesses?
