am heading to the blog right now... but for first impressions (whatever they are worth.. ) the title of the website says a WHOLE lot to me " The Status Woe"??? seriously???? a blog supposedly about your child's struggles but all the title screams is "poor us at best and poor "me" at worst"
ITA! My 6 year old son is autistic. I don't have a self-serving blog that says "SIGH. I'm the mother of an autistic son. SIGH."
KS is an attention addict in the most pathological sense. The pictures she shared on her blog of having a "tool belt" with Issy's workbooks & tokens, etc. was ABSURD!!! Issy is 14!!! She's still a human being who has friends her own age--isn't that humiliating to have her mom put all her business out there?
KS seems to have been throwing a fit b/c Issy was not going to be in someone else's hands (in school) all day, and KS would have to deal with her. Why decide to kill the child now? Is it really so she could "go to Heaven?" or is it KS being royally P.O.'ed that she would have to find alternatives for the school year?
I really think KS is Borderline Personality Disordered or has Munchhausen by Proxy--she's a sick, twisted lady who needs to be the center of attention.
And bottom line: KS attempted and came very close to murdering her child. We don't get to murder children in this country, even if they are difficult to care for.
Issy is NOT the first child to have severe behavior problems. Surely there is a solution for families that doesn't include killing!
I don't believe that KS even suffered the head injuries stated in the press--if you watch the video on her blog, where she records herself bawling and cleaning up a mess "that Issy made" & then Issy "attacks her"--KS is doing nothing but RAMPING UP THE ATTACK. Then she posts a pic of herself laying in a hospital bed. GMAFB. Really? How would you even process that as a child? Her child KNOWS she has an issue with acting out--now the mother is putting it on the interwebs for all to see? That's SICK. KS IS SICK.
When my child gets frustrated, he'll sometimes grab at your shirt & sometimes he'll get a bit of my boob (LOL) in there & he is sooo strong, let me tell you, it's not pleasant. What I do is lean down to his face and gently say "I know you are frustrated! No grabbing--remember Happy Hands!" in a quiet tone. It seems that most of the problem was this mother overreacting and goading her poor child into agitation. You'll see the child attack the staff only AFTER KS has been interacting with her--so I wonder how much great progress Issy can make now that her tormentor is behind bars. Let's pray that Issy doesn't have brain damage from this murder attempt.
What I NEVER DO is start bawling, sobbing & whining so loudly that he is unable to snap out of the agitation. THAT'S WHAT KS DID.
Also, with these types of cases, do you ever wonder why the MURDERER never gets his/her suicide attempt all the way done? It must be so much easier to murder than to kill yourself, I guess. Issy got a coma and brain damage & KS is well enough to communicate with all her friends to "get Kelli's story out." I want to puke.
Thank God her husband is divorcing her. She needs to go to prison. And I hope to hear about Issy having HUGE improvements now that her mother is gone.
