I really, truly don't, and that's why I wrote to you, that's why I'm willing to sit up here and have an audience look at me and judge me because I need help for this child. I need help for me, but I know I need help for this child."Stevehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10498066938213558757noreply@blogger.comBlogger4125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30897652.post-62081431380900742062011-01-29T23:33:29.298-09:002011-01-29T23:33:29.298-09:00Tiger Mom, meet. . . what kind of a mother feeds i...Tiger Mom, meet. . . what kind of a mother feeds it's young hot sauce? I like Jewish Moms. Why do Jewish Moms get a bad rap for being protective of their children? The best advice on parenting comes from Jewish Moms. Mrs. Beasley is no jewish Mom.<br /><br />I like that you have listed some resources, but your readers probably aren't the people who need them. We are the ones teaching them or organizing them. <br /><br />What Jessica Beasley has done not only to her son, but to Russian-American adoptions with her 15 Minutes of Fame disgusts me. She will have time in Hell if there is a Hell for hurting other children (by stalling or causing adoptions to fall through) who have loving parents over here who are loving parents.AnonymousNiknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30897652.post-48732358178730711362011-01-29T23:30:02.027-09:002011-01-29T23:30:02.027-09:00I heard the audio of this torture session on Shann...I heard the audio of this torture session on Shannyn Moore's radio show on Friday, and it was torture to listen to. Child Protective Services should immediately remove any children in her household and put them in foster care, and she should spend some serious jail time while getting counseling. <br /><br />How could a police officer let his spouse behave like this? He should also be tried for child neglect.<br /><br />I hope that poor Russian kid can be fostered by someone who knows how to deal with troubled kids from Russian orphanages, which are notoriously cruel. <br /><br />It may be the boy has FAS, which means that he *cannot* connect actions with consequences because of the brain damage cause by alcohol before he was born.<br /><br />These "parents" are not fit to have children in the home, period. And the father should be removed from the police force.HarpboyAKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30897652.post-9131944040151596372011-01-29T18:38:18.059-09:002011-01-29T18:38:18.059-09:00Firstly, I would like to THANK YOU for listing the...Firstly, I would like to THANK YOU for listing the resources above for those who have questions or struggle with difficult situations.<br /><br />As for Mrs. Beasley, she didn't go on Dr. Phil's show for any help, either before or after the show was taped. <br /><br />That "help" quote at the beginning of your article, was when she saw the tears, shocked faces, and harsh comments of the women in the audience and wanted to soften their perception of her actions.<br /><br />She was PROUD of her iron control over this young boy; she expected praise. <br /><br />Please watch the entire clip of the show, and notice her first reaction was a rather contemptuous "we have different opinions".<br /><br />Dr. Phil offered to support her with his staff of professional coaches and mentors. I guess she didn't like what they had to say, or the police would not have been involved at this point.<br /><br />I have read some other articles about this situation. Somehow it is being played out as a "political" or "religious" attack on her. Not so. The reaction of the women in Dr. Phil's audience was heartfelt, they were looking purely at the adult/child relationship in Mrs. Beasley's clip, not her religious or political affiliations.<br /><br />Please monitor this article's comments frequently, I have seen some very angry, even brutal comments on other sites. People, more violence and humiliation is not the answer.<br /><br />No doubt Mrs. Beasley feels the boy is "hers" to do with as she pleases, and resents government intrusion into her "private business". She really has no idea how bizarre a figure she cuts, modeling her idea of the parent/child dynamic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30897652.post-65035642278175029772011-01-29T18:20:04.233-09:002011-01-29T18:20:04.233-09:00The reason why a Mayor like Dan Sullivan could car...The reason why a Mayor like Dan Sullivan could care less that one if his own city's police officer's doesn't know what resources exist to help family dynamics is because he doesn't want to provide such services.<br /><br />It's not the Municipalities responsibilty, especially with families in the privacy of their own homes. Like the penultimate absent parent Sarah Palin, such public servants would direct you to a church. It's the devilish child or lack of faith of the parents when the prayer chain fails to cure. <br /><br />And maybe, just maybe, the woman wanted to get on teevee.<br />Oh this is depressing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
