I think everyone here has made really good points. And, yes, hindsight is 20/20. I guess it is easy to say what one should have or could have done after the fact. But, I suppose, none of that means much for this woman and her dear sons now. Hopefully, this story can be used to prevent...
I have not always had dental insurance or money to pay for dental work. But, I was able to find a doctor who was willing to take payments. In one case, it took me a full year to pay off a dentist for a regular check up for myself and my daughter.
I do put some blame the mother because if...
I didn't say that ERs give regular dental checkups. That is absurd.
If her sons were complaining about their teeth/mouth pain and she could not find a dentist, the ER will check the patient and call a dental surgeon to come and evaluate and treat the patient.
If she took her child to the...
The Emergency Room. That's how. I live in the area where this happened and the emergency rooms in every hospital in the tri-state area treats medicaid patients for EVERYTHING, which is why medicaid patients GO to the ER instead of doctors' offices. They go to the ER for colds and superficial...
Several stories indicate she was lying about her sister having contractions and apparently they weren't on their way to the hospital at all, but to New York for a family visit and this incident occurred because the victim got between her and her father's vehicle, whom she was following. That is...
Yes, you did read that. This woman has changed her story no less than 3 times. She is totally unrepentant and has not learned a thing.
About the bad checks, it is questionable as to whether or not there was any identity theft or stolen checks. Her family is offering to pay for the bad...
This happened not too far from where I live.

It seems she's wanted in other states for other crimes and she's being sent to Colorado and/or Mississippi to answer charges there. I've read somewhere, and I am...
I totally understand what you're saying and I agree. I think the offense taken was more an issue with the delivery (or reception) than the message itself.
I agree with this. Not so much the other stuff, but interesting ideas nonetheless.
Personally, I like to know they WHY of things. I don't believe disorders and such should be an excuse in any way. I don't believe that having a mental illness is an excuse for anything. It simply means some...
Thanks Jeana. She is 14 years old...she'll be 15 in May. On Monday, we moved her to her new treatment center in Richmond. It is a step up from the last one and a half hour closer to home than the last one. Her new psychiatrist is well-published and very knowledgeable of the treatment(s) for...
Here is the DSM-IV-TR criteria for OCPD:
The DSM-IV-TR, a widely used manual for diagnosing mental disorders, defines that for a patient to be diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, they must exhibit at least four of the following traits:
Preoccupation with details, rules...
There is OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) and then there is OCPD (Obsessive Compulsive PERSONALITY Disorder). The latter is usually co-morbid with at least one other disorder (and usually another type of personality disorder) which could be the driving force behind this behavior.
My daughter's mental illness can cause her to be delusional and hear voices when under stress. She has stated that they never tell her anything "good" or "positive" but the voices do attempt to convince her to hurt herself or others. It is scary. It is terrifying to see my dear child in this...
I don't know about you guys, but I'm getting a troll vibe from Ms. Kitty. It appears she's simply attempting to ruffle feathers with her inane, ignorant comments. She's simply not worth responding to, IMO.
