Hey MNHQ. Would it be possible to have a discussion about how SN issues/threads are handled on the main boards. ( pt 2)

And always it's obviously there are no SNs and not all children have SN, too

I don't know why people don't like to acknowledge the possibility.

Maybe it's because they'd have to admit they had been possibly calling a child with a disability an arsehole and a brat.

Is it me or have others noticed that there seems to be a few threads popping up at the moment where the op will slag of a child and say stuff about their behaviour, and state, there is no sn, they have been told by parent.
I find this idea a bit odd, why would a parent tell someone who obviously doesn't like their child private stuff.

Agreed. I think these threads are possibly trolling.

Yes they are looking at them now.

NeedACleverNN · 22/07/2016 21:52

Looks like another one has just popped up in AIBU.

7 year old acting like a 3 year old

Thornrose · 22/07/2016 21:54

Yes Samcro I've definitely noticed that. Goady fuckery is all I can say!

Samcro · 22/07/2016 21:57

Thats the one that made me hmm
I am getting fed up with it,like a lof you i am looking at weeks of holiday.

Am feeling like leaving too.

It is like reading the Daily.Mail comments page, increasingly. I don't spend time doing that, or trying to educate Mail readers, so not sure why I would want to do it here. Such a shame after 8/9 years of rewarding MNage

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 22/07/2016 22:11

It seeks.to be peaking though so maybe it will stop soon

Will keep reporting.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 22/07/2016 22:15

Am stubborn sod anyway so won't leave

SN chat is a life saver for me right now. I post freely knowing most posters have it hidden!

The rest of MN is a bit like "scratch the surface and there's a disablist under there" it's mind blowing. I recently got a new car through the Motability scheme. I'm embarrassed and have plans to lie about it.

I do blame the fucking DM and all the gullible idiots that take it as gospel!

I've noticed a lot of "before you ask, the child doesn't have any SN, the parent told me" bollocks.
In the years before my DC was diagnosed, I didn't tell people because I didn't know. After he was diagnosed, I still didn't offer the information to everyone I talked to - especially to anyone who was calling my child a brat!

Some people seem to start threads with the sole purpose of slagging off a child with an invitation for a whole load of other people to pile in as well, and they reject any suggestion that there may be a good reason why the child was behaving that way.
Just remember that being disabled is no excuse for being disabled - you need to try harder to not be.

Another one with people saying phone the police on someone with SN looking for his cat and he is probably a pervert. Lovely

We see a duty one once a year. They never even meet Dd let alone know how best to communicate with her.
