My "WTF?" story of the day, 4 and 5 year old kids beat a teacher senseless...

52. I know. I saw that too. And it was completely different from what the article said.

So who knows what really happened.

I worked with kids with many different kinds of disabilities, and some of them were rageful and violent. I got injured a few times. Rarely the schools were being negligent, but it happened. More commonly, the school personnel had to go through years of stuff to be able to deal with the issues. Usually in cooperation with parents but sometimes in spite of parents, because parents always have the last word on what the school is allowed to do. And this little guy is young, so they are just beginning the work.

When you work with kids who are so troubled, you do come to understand that there is always a reason for what they do. Often there is some bad pain or trauma or brain defect at the bottom of it. Granted this is an extreme case, but you do tend to want to stick with them and help them get over or around whatever it is that is making them that way.
