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.

“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.”

Is it the boy or is it the parents? Be real here. The Bible says “Spare the rod” and it does not give exceptions like if your child has “special needs”. Have been ripped to shreds over this but think about it. Now not saying you take a Down Syndrome child out and thrash him or her but you do apply discipline plus a swat on the butt of a Downs child never hurt it. When they are little and having one of those “sit down protests” they are known for that is the perfect time for a swat on the rear end as that would get them off up it.

I hear all the time “I can’t spank my child he/she has autism” BS! Wear out his/her little behind then maybe they will cut this crap and I don’t want to hear “oh it hurt his/her little feeeeelings”. Or hit changed his/her mood. No it made him stop misbehaving!

As for the nurse in that story, she told the child “no”. What does mom do? Nothing. In my day, our moms would have spanked us by the second time we did something like that. You know I’m correct. Mom should have spanked him after the nurse did.
