Bed Punishment Was the Boy likely to have been Autistic?

David

I heard a little boy about nine years old in my local park scream he does not want to go to bed.

It was about 4PM.

Pulled the lady  he was with probably his Mother.

A lot of the time she was on her mobile talking about the number of people in the park.

A girl probably his younger sister comforted him.

The apparent Mother ignored the screaming and being pulled about.

Many people in the Mothers situation would have hit the boy.

I asked the NSPC by E Mail who was abused.

They said that if I could identify the child I could report it.

There are two sides here.

One side is that children should not be put to bed during the day for punishment so he was right to resist.

 

The other side is that children should obey their Mothers.

I have been told many times that I should accept authority even if it is wrong.

Was that little boy likely to have been Autistic.?

  • Sorry I should have made clear that children today are not expected to submit to the abuse I was expected to submit to.  May be I am getting old so I forgot.

    We cannot discuss whether todays children should submit to something which is illegal.

    On the other hand I was told by a Psychologist that one cannot put todays vallues on my childhood.

    We cannot expect a Head Master or a teacher in 1970 to take account of legislation past in 1987 State Schools and 1999 banning corporal punishment in Private Schools and that legisilation does not put me in the right in those days for making a fuss.

    On the occasion my Mother smacked me and told me not to hit my teachers back.

    My Parents told me that I can only defend myself against a wild man.

     

    They were right as the law was different in those days.

     

    What the Mother did by apparently telling a boy he would go to bed in the afternoon was probably perfectly legal.

    I only heard a boy cry and scream but I am sure she did not touch the boy althouh he was a bit rough with his Mother.

    It might in future years count as abuse putting children to bed in the afternoon.

    Are Autistic Children more likely to scream in that situation.?

    Could Parents please reply to that point.
