I'm sorry. Im a parent. This lady needs to control her kid. Vote it down if you want, but when 'Michael' snaps and shoots up a school then everyone will say shouldve couldve woudldve. She is clearly ALLOWING this behavior. Funny, no mention of a father.

From experience, mothers are way more tolerant of out of control kids.

This is a tragedy waiting to happen.

I kind of agree with you but on the father, issue ... We have no idea what the situation is. She seems to like the idea of having a mentally ill child, maybe that is too harsh. But some things strike me as a little weird. OK, so this kid is in a constant state of rage but yet he has an in-depth knowledge of quantum physics and so on and so forth, where does he find the time? I don't know, something doesn't seem right.

Considering she explains in detail how she has had to take him to hospital multiple times with the assistance of police to restrain him, and further admits that pressing charges against him is perhaps the only last remaining option (which she indicates she is understandably reluctant to do), I'm having a hard time seeing what she isn't doing?

Could you perhaps elaborate as to what you would do to control a mentally ill child such as her own?

Press charges.

We do know what happened to the father according to previous blog posts: http://anarchistsoccermom.blogspot.com/2012/07/news-from-war... tl;dr; he left her for some woman he met online and married her six weeks after his divorce was complete. And now he doesn't pay the soccer mom child support and is engaging her in a grueling custody battle.

Funny, not much of a father to mention.
