You are not on thin ice with me. I am sick to death of parents that believe that no matter what their childs behavior is, you should just have to accept it. Utter B.S.

You are entitled to peace and quiet in your neighborhood!

Would any of the Freepers here defending this kid take it if some inconsiderate lout put their dog out to howl and whine all day? No they would not. There would be posts urging the afflicted to call the police and the humane society to turn said lout in.

Time to call complaints in to the police and child welfare.

I'm inclined to agree. The Bible says spare the rod and spoil the child. It does not say “unless your child has special needs”. People get bent out of shape when I say this, even Christians but hey the Bible says it. That does not mean thrash an autistic child to death but it means “correct the behavior”.

I don't know how much this boy was screaming but I went on youtube and watched some autistic children having meltdowns and let me tell you some of them could belt it out. I can see that would get annoying fast. I could see neighbors would be pissed or people in a restaurant might become agitated. Out of consideration for others parents should remove those kids from the public until the child can control himself.
