“I get a nagging feeling this mother might be the same whose 5 year old destroys the churchgoing experience by acting up for a full hour each Sunday.”
A 5 year old can destroy the church going experience???
Who cares what she does in church at a moment like this. She was a sick child.
I agree. My son has IBD, so I feel for this child and her mother. A year from now my son will start high school. They keep the bathrooms locked at the high school with only one open on each of the two floors -- in a school with more than 1300 students. It's a stupid and ineffective attempt to keep the kids from smoking. Kids wait in line for up to a half hour -- missing class -- to use the bathroom. I have a year to figure out how to address this.
Yes and very easily when they kick, shout, scream, talk, cry and generally behave like five year olds. It's not their fault, mind, but they do an excellent job of causing an almost constant distraction.

I'm afraid you have mistaken an illustrative example for the introduction of new evidence or events.
