“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.
When my youngest was two and refused to pick up her toys, I picked her up, put her feet on top of my feet, held her hands and walked her over to the nearest toy.
I bent down, still holding her hands, grabbed the toy between her hands, together with her feet still on top of mine, we walked over to the toy box and I pulled her hands apart and let the toy drop in.
She was screaming bloody murder the whole time and I figured someone probably thought I was abusing her.
So after the toy went in the toy box, I said to her, *Either you pick up your toys yourself or we do this again until you do.*
Still crying her eyes out, she proceeded to pick up every toy she left out.
I didn’t have to do it twice.
I always figured that the reason God made kids smaller than us was so that when they didn’t listen, we could literally force them to.
I wanted the thought in their minds that when I told them to do something, they HAD to listen, because once they hit teenage years and they were too big to force to do anything any more, they needed the mindset that they had no choice but to listen to me.
