I used to work at a daycare and this one kid kept trying to stick his finger in the electrical sockets (the sockets were taped off so he couldn’t) and would fall from pretty high places and hit his head. I have no clue how he’s still alive but I now believe he is immortal.

Had a friends five year old little boy kill his kitten while I was making lunch because he didn’t want to play with it anymore.Called the friend right away and told her and said I was gonna bury it in the backyard and that when she got home we needed to sit down and explain why what he did was wrong.That evening we did just that but he failed to see how killing a living thing was different from throwing away a puzzle or book he didn’t want anymore. Needless to say I told her I could not continue watching him and that he needs some help. She understood and did try therapy, although she said that did not go well and he wasn’t allowed back. I moved out of that state a year later and she moved back to her home state but I always wonder how he turned out or if he will be the next Ted Bundy or what not as he would just be about 22 now.

I was a preschool teacher for 2 years. I worked with some children who were not meeting developmental milestones, such as speech delays, extreme lack of social skills, or feeding themselves. The parents didn’t know and/or care about the missed milestones because they didn’t care enough about their child. The teachers would tell the parents about their child not meeting developmental milestones. The parents refused to change anything in the home environment.
