Have seen this video before. Was told the 16 year old in it has Down Syndrome and the mentality of a 6 year old.
I will quite agree with you that if he can’t act right in society then he must be removed at once. Understand the father’s reaction and can understand the parents of Down Syndrome’s reaction as well.
As much as it pains me to say this looks as if in some cases we are have to go back to the old days and put some of these people back in institutions for their own good and ours. That would include this boy and the boy that was arrested in this story although my thoughts are he just needed a trip to the woodshed.
I agree.
And the boy in the video may not have ever received the consequences of his actions before, so thought he could get away with anything he wanted to do.
Any Down’s Syndrome person who can use a phone is smart enough to learn to not get physically violent with others.
Special needs means mental and physical disabilities but that does not preclude discipline by negotiating with them and not letting them learn by experience, like the rest of us.
