I think you miss the point. The point is that there are some 15 year olds, and some younger, that one has a right to fear. Not all children fear authority.river rat said:My 18 year nephew is 5' 11" and 311 pounds. I weigh 120. He stays in line. I won't tolerate it.
I hope your children don't know ya'll are skeered.

I was working in a "group home/level 5 school"(emotional and behavioral problem teens) in Towson and we had to go through training in restraining those kids....they are also taught to "chase them" as long as it is not endangering themselves or others....the counslers went through a more intense training than the admin dept did...but, we all had to go through it....it was state mandated in order for a person to work around any of those kids....and from what I understand the mandates are just the same or more stricker
Post Office and Leonardtown Rd. yesterday... Transport, kid gives bad directions pulls knife steals car. That's about it.tomchamp said:Can we get the whole story? Like a link or something?
OMFG! Blame the parents! Wonderful!meds4me said:I was confused. Here's the link. http://somd.com/news/headlines/articles/3209.shtml I don't agree or disagree, I think its a shame that the kid was raised with such anger and direspect for others. Maybe he needs some meds.

I love your name!!meds4me said:I do have a question to pose in your thread if I may, what if it was a gun. Should he have ran then? Is age the factor of your disbelief or the fact that the counselor wasn't prepared and doing his job dutifully?
river rat said:For those of you who heard or read about the 15 year old boy who pulled a knife on his counselor......and the counselor fled, leaving the boy and the minivan, COULD YA PLEASE TELL ME.... why does a 37 year old man run from a 15 year old?? (psssst not to mention he is/was responsible for the safe delivery of the 15 year old child)

It is just that when I heard this then read it I reflected to my own teen age years and know that had I tried a stunt like this....well, it would be in the news all right. Something like this.....15 year old gets his Azz kicked at light on corner of post office and leonardtown road by 37 tr old counselor after trying to play thug!

Sounds to me like the kid might have Oppositional Defiant Disorder. Granted, he should have been searched before getting in the van. If the counsler could have had the opportunity to restrain the teen, then yes, it should have been done. But, if the child is in a manic emotional state, "talking them down" is what I was trained to do. If that did not work and my life was in stake, I would say bye-bye also, and run away.river rat said:I obviously have touched a sore spot with a few of you (could care less)
