oh HELL NO!!!
a couple in illinios is upset because they can no longer use a cattleprod to control their autistic son’s violent outbursts.
*blink*
a cattleprod?
a fucking cattleprod?????? not cool. not cool in the least. seriously. i don’t give a flying fuck if it’s “a mild shock” it’s called a cattleprod for a reason.
ok. i can understand that there are times that you feel helpless when your child is out of control and runs the risk of injuring themselves in a fit of rage or frustration or whatever causes their particular brand of outbursts. but a cattleprod? i just can’t wrap my head around that. to claim that you only use a cattleprod on your child to “protect” them is just ridiculous and i’m not buying it. there are other treatments. find them. use them.
like my blog? buy me a coffee.
