Well first of all he was from Georgia..... StarEnight Send a noteboard - 04/09/2009 06:03:08 AM
and people from Georgia really don't know how to drive.

Oh wait that was off topic.


I think most of us have that part of our brain that tells us we shouldn't do things. In some people that part is damaged or missing. It's a known fact many people with Autism lack impulse control. It also happens with people who have brain damage after an accident or stroke.

From the article I read he sounds like someone very socially isolated which leads me to hypothesize that he possibly suffers some sort of mental illness or deficiency. Take this from the mother of the 13 year old boy (with autism) that has shoved a toddler.

That is not to say his behavior is acceptable (my son is told on no uncertain terms that his wasn't). I just think to violently attack a toddler in a store like that there has to be something wrong with the guy. Hopefully they will get him some help while he is locked away.

"There simply is nothing to which we can attach ourselves, no matter how hard we try. In time, things will change and the conditions that produced our current desires will be gone. Why then cling to them now?"

Spanking your child is legal...there's a big difference between spanking your own kid and this. *NM* Brian - 04/09/2009 06:17:25 AM 564 Views
I find spanking just as big a abuse as this... The idea of raising a child with violence... *NM* Milla - 04/09/2009 08:32:08 AM 475 Views
Then you would have hated my home, cause I got spanked a lot growing up Brian - 04/09/2009 08:45:44 AM 680 Views

This isn't black and white. I was spanked as a child (with a hand) and I don't consider it abusive. *NM* Deadsy - 04/09/2009 02:51:26 PM 462 Views
