How do you discipline a SN child?

Frillyblouse please report it. I know it's hard, but the inconvience and discomfort it wil cause you with your neighbours is more than worth putting an end to this child's humilation and abuse. The mother needs parenting advice at the very least, and urgently, or the others are going to end up with the same treatment, if they aren't already.

Frillyblouse, if you do report it and are confronted by those involved when there are repercussions, you could always feign innocence by saying that you mentioned it in passing to a friend and she was concerned about it, perhaps it was your friend who reported it. It does need to be looked into, this boy is definitely being abused. Things like this make me wonder - if that's what goes on when there are witnesses, what happens when there aren't?

exactly, if she,s like that in public in front of friends what would she be like when she,s on her own?

Many thanks for the responses I have since had a word with one of the other mums on her own and mentioned the incident to her. She told me that before I had arrived that day her son had been on a warning. Sally, the childs mother she told me has her own ideas on discipline she dont believe in naughty spots, or toy removal, she is a smacker, but first delivers a warning then she carries it through no matter where she is. Her warning is that she will smack her sons bottom and that it will be trousers and pants down while it is done. In other ways she is a normal loving mother she plays play station with them football on the green, reads with them, all things a caring parent does, although I in no way condone this behaviour, I cannot help but think this may promote long term damage her children are better behaved than ours although I would put up with bad behaviour before relenting to physical punishment.
