Re: Sean Paddock's Autopsy / Mandy Locke Article
This whole thing truly makes my heart heavy.
I'm so glad you found a better way to parent TulipMama and all the other ex-punitive mamas here. God has really shown you His grace. I pray that the same happens for this poor confused, mislead, abusive mother. It makes me so sad. |

I just feel so bad for the little guy. I had a very spirited boy, and I always knew in the wrong hands someone would really hurt him. |

Re: Sean Paddock's Autopsy / Mandy Locke Article
In another article I read, it said that the father of the Ford children was taken to jail for abusing the daughter, and the kids were taken from the mom after she refused to leave her husband.
Doesn't make sense to me. As this is exactly what the Pearls advocate (staying with the husband even if there is abuse going on). It seems they got shuffled from one bad situation into another. Truly breaks my heart. Tulipmama, where did you get that quote about the baby climbing out of the crib? |

I've been there, too. When I dropped spanking, I felt so stumped... so powerless... so bewildered.. so I started punishing in different ways. Then I tried to stop punishing and found I was using "gentle" tools with the same punitive goal in mind. I am reading Clay Clarkson's Heartfelt Discipline right now, and am so moved by his discussion of parenting by the Spirit's leading instead of by a formula--ANY formula. (((( TulipMama )))) God's grace is utterly amazing, isn't it? I am inspired by all of our stories to think that He can change, heal, and redirect other families just as He has done with ours. |

My heart hurts so much for that little boy. He is with Jesus now, where he will never be hurt again....

Re: Sean Paddock's Autopsy / Mandy Locke Article
Okay, he's the same age/size as my ds and I couldn't imagine wrapping him up like that! That poor little guy... At least he's in a better place and doesn't have to deal w/them anymore. |

Also HHS differs from state to state in how they handle things. IMO the fact they were "aware" that the little boy had bruises on his back and did not investigate further is incredibily sad. I highly doubt there was only the one incident.....when spanking is your only tool in the tool box, you are limited on your resources to "discipline." It not fair to assume that the foster /adoptive parents are always doing the best for the child....like anything else there are always good and bad foster parents. I know of foster families here in NE who spank their bio kids and say they don't touch their foster kids. Such inconsistency is very hard to live with successfully though and I think parents who do that run a thin line. Obviously something was missed, something was done wrong and now a boy is dead----there is no rectifying death. I simply can't believe that this boy died without any markers......the state missed something, of that I have no doubt. |

Re: Sean Paddock's Autopsy / Mandy Locke Article
I read the DSS case notes and all the articles a few weeks ago. There was substantiated abuse by the birth father and the birth mother wouldn't leave him. The foster placement was for their safety and it is just a good example that sometimes the foster care system fails too...
I blogged this... my blog is new and slow traffic, but it is one more out there talking about the harm of the Pearls... http://blog.myspace.com/ljmoody Tulip Mama... I can identify with you I am so thankful God has shown us both a better way. |
