“Dennis - who suffers from speech problems, asthma and attention deficit disorder “
Maybe I’m just a trogladite, but it seems to me that most attention deficit disorders could be cured by old fashioned attention to the seat of pants. Sounds like this kid needs a good butt bustin’. It’s a better solution than ritilin.
Note the speech problems. I’d bet this kid is not having an easy time in school with the other kids, and he has limited verbal ability, so he acts out physically.
He just needs a different environment and a different type of disciplinary action. Handcuffs and a mental hospital are not it.
