Inexplicable Attack

[Chanlo23]

I am posting this to the forum to ask your thoughts about a incident that occurred a week ago involving a gentle kindergarten teacher. She has a serenity and patience that seems to bring out the best in all her 'kids'. (I know her personally.)

One of these sweet children suddenly went ballistic and launched his entire body into her face. This toddler had to be restrained by two male teachers and their principal, has no history of this type of behavior, and is not on any kind of medication.

The teacher had to be taken to the hospital with a concussion and other injuries. Both she and the boy are now doing well.

What happens is that probably something very wrong is going on at home.

I agree with RMorgan. And the only one to get at is the one that will not be dangerous or menacing, here the sweet kindergarten teacher (sometimes it is the mom, other time a sister, the sweetest that won't endanger the child or a relationship already shaken).

Look at drugs and/or the child's diet. (Hard to believe that 'no medication' is involved.)

My immediate sense is that there is an obvious combination of things, but mind control is definitely right up there. Two adult males to pull a two year old off of a nice serene teacher? To make more of an assessment more information would be needed. It certainly is disturbing. We really have no way of knowing unless the case is fully disclosed.

It is unfortunate that today there are so many options that may have an impact on behaviour of people, let alone sensitive children. They can for example be efected and made react violently thanks to the multiple cell towers scattered around or food with additives. Sorry to hear about this Chanlo23. It is always wise to check what is going on at the toddler's house, it must have been very unpleasent to the gentle teacher, good thing she is okay.

We are now in days where woman and children are being under great stress, more and more from external influences not only the internal or psychological ones as it used to be, and it is really quite difficult to tell.

I totally agree with looking at what is going on in the home. Personally I had a small stint as a Family Support Worker to assist single parent's regain power back from their children. It was eye opening to say the least as to the extremes children will go to in order to keep the power.

One such example was a 4 yr old small boy who also had to be restrained when he realized he was not going to get what he wanted. Initially, time outs where implemented. He initialy kicked a hole in the door to unlock it and when that was addressed, and he again was in time out, he threw the huge dressor mirror through the window to get out of time out!!! He was not a medication but his Mother was :)

Through restraining until he had calmed down and short, on the chair, in the kitchen, :) time outs the Mother was able to regain her parenthood but it was not an easy task or one that a single parent could do on her own. There was much training to be done for both the parent and child. Home is where most misguided behavior originates and I speak from personal experience not only in the field but growing up in a highly dysfunctional family. :)

Maybe prospective parents need training in being parents because their experience of being parented wasn't adequate or maybe not there! Parents need to be strong leaders for there children, not doormats. But they actually have to be present to be parents. A parent who is absent all the time as in working or using constant television as a baby sitter shouldn't be surprised when the child is anti-social and violent.

In about 1996 a second cousin's son ( what relationship is that? ) , as a sub 3 year old toddler, climbed up onto my lap and planted a rock solid fist punch right smack dab on my nose.

It hurt like HELL!.

I couldn't understand it then, and I still can't make sense of it.

I met him again, as a 21 year old, 3 years ago, and told him I remembered it. He laughed and tex'd his mum to give here a laugh too.

I dunno, not a clue.

How old was the 'baby' if I may ask ? When I was much younger than now and not that trained to empathy , I sometimes, experienced kind of 'fear' on approaching strangers toddlers, thinking children can be quite unpredictable , out of control, you never know how they react .
Not all are 'that way' , but few remain 'unconscious' spiritually considered till much later age in their life and do keep throwing things around ..

It is just an example of just how fragile the human is.

Everybody is insane, some just more than others.

As a foster carer I have come across young children who lash out for no apparent reason, it usually turns out to be something that's happened in their home environment.
